Lightopia Festival

Founded and personally led by Ian Xiang, Lightopia transformed Chinese lantern craft into a large-scale international immersive light festival. Projects ran at venues including Alton Towers, Heaton Park, Crystal Palace Park and Chiswick House, and won the Eventex Grand Prix in 2021 and 2022.

Immersia XR

Founded by Ian Xiang, Immersia XR is a story-led, location-based XR format. Manchester and London pop-up runs in 2025 reached approximately 18,000 visitors across three stories.
