After successful practice in many fields, in recent years, fengjiangzhou has gradually changed from an art producer to an art project planner and industry observer. He has been exploring the transformation of new media in the role of art creation, and constantly committed to the planning and creation of public art projects. Public works of art and urban environment infiltrate, set off and stimulate each other, condense the whole reality and integrate into real life at the same time. Public art has gone beyond the scope of urban sculpture. The urban public art returning to life reflects the aesthetic pursuit of a city and the common social cognition of human beings. Taking different forms of public space as the creation object and art carrier, this paper integrates the highly condensed traditional humanistic concept with the high-tech multimedia interactive technology, and faces the abstract art to the general public in a more simple, daily and direct form. If the sky and the earth are painters' canvases, fengjiangzhou hopes to expand the creative thinking of multimedia drama stage to every public space, large or small, compact or scattered, so that the public can not only roam in it, but also become a part of the public art space.
