21st Century Shanghai, and beyond.

Swarovski se pyšní bohatou historií spolupráce se současnými světovými umělci. Na oslavu výstavy Masters of Light – From Vienna to Shanghai spolupracovala společnost Swarovski s pekingským umělcem Tianem Xiaoleiem na instalaci digitálních uměleckých děl. Tian čerpá inspiraci z křišťálů Swarovski a převádí ji do nového média, čímž rozšiřuje svou aktuální sérii děl Myth, která představuje fantastické hybridy člověka a stroje jako vize budoucího lidstva. Končetiny splývají s křišťály Swarovski, jako by šperk byl součástí anatomie.
