Lines We Live
Community Public Art Project | Hangzhou | BAC Art Community | July 2025
This participatory art project was jointly initiated by the creative team of the Department of Fiber Art at the China Academy of Art and BAC Art Community. It explores the connective nature of thread, transforming its physical function of interlacing warp and weft into a social metaphor for the interconnected trajectories of everyday life. Through the collective act of threading, a map on the fabric gradually transforms into a warm and distinctive network of community relationships, woven together through the countless individual stories and living experiences of its participants.
This project is not only an art installation, but also an open community experiment. At its center is an abstract map tracing the network of streets and alleys in Zhuantang. We invite everyone who lives, works, or spends time in the area to take part through a simple gesture: selecting a thread that represents them and passing it through a hole at a familiar location on the map, marking the paths of their everyday lives.

Weaving Waves · Fragments of Flowing Memory
Public Art Project | Hangzhou | Liangzhu YOHOO PARK | Oct 2025
Memories follows like water, intertwine like threads.
Weaving Waves · Fragments of Flowing Memory is a large-scale public art installation specially created for YUHU YOHOO PARK as part of the FML Urban Co-Weaving Project. Inspired by the rippling patterns of the lake and the flow of data, the work uses fiber and weaving as a medium to connect natural landscapes, technological development, and community life.
The work brings together the ripples of Yuhu, the motifs of Liangzhu, and fragments of contemporary life, weaving them into a tangible tapestry of memory. Set along the lakeside, it quietly telling the stories of the cultural memories of the community.
Stretching 40 meters in length, this textile artwork brings together traditional weaving techniques and pixel art, translating traditional motifs from Liangzhu jade artifacts and the forms of waterbirds, alongside scenes of contemporary life and technological elements, into a unified visual language. A continuous woven band runs throughout the composition, flowing like water and streams of data, connecting individual visual elements and creating a dialogue between tradition and modernity. Weaving Waves · Fragments of Flowing Memory is more than a series of art installations; it is an open and evolving space for public engagement. Visitors are invited to pause, touch, and weave together, becoming active participants in this ever-expanding urban weaving project. Through this collective experience, art becomes a bridge connecting the city's cultural memory with the rhythms of community life.

Road of Time and Thread
Campus Public Art Project | Hangzhou | DUFU Elementary School | Nov 2025
Through Reading, We See the Future. Through Light, We See Growth.
At Dufu Elementary School, we created a 20-meter-long woven tapestry of growth along the school's stepped railings, bringing a vibrant visual narrative to life for its young students. Drawing inspiration from the school emblem, the work captures the resilience of grass and the soaring spirit of seagulls, while incorporating the abstract silhouette of the Liangzhu jade bird and traditional jade artifact motifs, reflecting the school's deep-rooted heritage of learning and cultivation. Alongside these traditional elements, pixelated imagery of staircases formed by stacked books, spacecraft, robots, and emerging forms of intelligence brings a contemporary dimension to the work. Together, these visual elements convey the idea that knowledge is a staircase leading toward the future.
We hope this artwork will accompany the children with warmth on their daily journeys to and from school, while serving as a creative pathway that sparks curiosity, inspires imagination, and illuminates young minds.

数字街码 · Weaving the Digital Block
Community Public Art Project | Hangzhou | 0101Park | Dec 2025
The FML Urban Co-Weaving Project continues to weave connections across the urban landscape. For this edition, located at the intersection of Wensan Road and Xueyuan Road in Hangzhou, we have transformed a 30-meter stretch of street-facing fencing into a canvas for Weaving the Digital Block, a public art installation created for Wensan Street. Inspired by the technological atmosphere and everyday vibrancy of the Wensan Digital District, the work brings together flowing data lines, organically growing circuit patterns, Wensan Road signage, and the lettering “0101PARK,” interwoven through a lively and vibrant color palette. New Year motifs, including imagery of the Year of the Horse and traditional Chinese knots, are woven alongside scenes of everyday life, reflecting the vitality of the neighborhood and the passage of time. A continuous woven band runs throughout the composition, connecting each visual element like streams of data and everyday life converging within the district. The result is a large-scale, tactile and readable visual narrative unfolding along the street. It invites passersby to experience, through their everyday journeys, the human warmth of the digital age and the connections rooted in local life.

Connected Daily · Living Interface
The Art of Living Exhibition | Shanghai | RedNote REDgallery | Apr 2026
As the seventh stop of the FML Urban Co-Weaving Project, the team was invited to participate in RedNote’s The Art of Living exhibition, presenting an ever-extending woven tapestry before the gallery windows. Titled Everyday Connections: Interfaces of Life, the work continues the team's ongoing exploration of weaving as a means of documenting fragments of urban life. It transforms the everyday moments continuously recorded and shared in the digital age into a tactile and sensory textile narrative, bringing the experience of life beyond the realm of information and back to the immediacy of lived experience.

Weave Me In
2026 Taoxichuan S/F Market Spring | Jingdezhen | Taoxichuan Art Block | Apr 2026
*Weave Me In* is an installation created by Fiber Media Lab, an art collective based in Hangzhou, specifically for the 2026 Spring and Autumn Market at Taoxichuan. Using woven structures, the work constructs an open, traversable space. Woven bands and textiles intersect and extend throughout the environment, forming a network of pathways that continuously unfolds and evolves. The visual language of the work emerges from the reinterpretation and reconfiguration of everyday graphic forms and traditional patterns. These include the divisions of window lattices, the structures of urban neighborhoods, the geometric forms of everyday objects, and textile pattern systems drawn from diverse cultural traditions, such as diamond grids, repeating motifs, and symbolic totems. These varied visual elements are distilled into fundamental units for weaving. Reorganized, assembled, and extended throughout the space, these heterogeneous patterns gradually give rise to a series of interconnected “pattern fragments,” resembling a textile map spanning time and geography. As visitors move through the installation, their movements activate the structure, bringing patterns from different cultures into new relationships and arrangements through their interweaving. In this way, the work generates an evolving spatial experience shaped by movement, encounter, and the ongoing formation of new connections.
