Enter a snapshot of the city imagined in +5, +10, +50 even +500 years, through the eyes of our community.

No Ordinary Arts Festival… BREW&BLEND 2016+X
BREW&BLEND 2016+X is a 3-day festival in M50, Shanghai’s renowned art district, for the public to explore ideas of the future amongst music stages, food, entertainment and a creative market.
This is far from an ordinary arts and lifestyle festival, the 2016+X concept is a new experiment that transforms the 6000m2 industrial park into a unique future city through installations, performances, exhibitions and workshops inviting guests to participate, imagine and test themselves.
Visitors are no longer just audience members, but become adventurers and part of a story crafted as a game to inspire the imagination.
Join over 150 artists, designers, filmmakers, architects, chefs, performers and musicians such as FENG BINGYI, STUDIO NOWHERE, DOGMA LAB, AUTOMATO and DR ZHOU YI, in a new production that asks you to play and make your own journey to the future.

The 3-day festival is only the very start – of storytelling that the organisers hope each visitor can continue to narrate in their own way.
A question or two have been asked… “What is reality and what do we want for ours?” — And they want you to ask yourself too!
A few questions our collaborators will be asking you:
#SENSES
"WILL TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE HUMANS?” 2016+50
-- DOGMA LAB
THE ELECTRIC SKIN PROJECT questions how wearables can in the future extend the possibilities of the skin, test it yourself at DOGMA LAB and join the discussion on the evolution of the human body and our #SENSES through technology.
"WOULD YOU LIKE SOME LOW-PITCH CHOCOLATE?” 2016+5
-- CAC x BRUCE DING
SONIC SEASONING 听觉厨房 invites you to sample its auditory courses from breakfast to dinner, an experiment challenging how our #SENSES are not purely biological, but culturally-constructed also.
#LIVING

-- AUTOMATO
In an alternative present you have a pet robot, a friend that you want to teach tricks, so visit real-fiction pet shop CHIPS & TAILS to find real-fiction gadgets developed in a series of workshops by designers and engineers imagining the near future of our #LIVING environments.

-- FENG BINGYI 冯冰伊
What is freedom? Do you have freedom away from time? Is it possible to exchange your time for something more valuable?
