Thus, a practical training center was established as a result of this partnership between the Digital Art College of Nanjing University of the Arts and Guangzhou Siquande Lighting Co., Ltd. This collaboration is centered on the integration of artistic elements with practical training; leveraging Siquande’s 26 years of experience in stage lighting technology, it creates a facility at Nanjing University of the Arts that combines teaching, practical training, research, and application, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of professionals in digital art and stage lighting.
Lectures by experts to broaden insights into the forefront of the industry. For this event, Professor Feng Dezhong from the Central Academy of Drama was invited to give an important academic presentation titled \"The Development of Standards for Digital Intelligent Stage Lighting Colors and Their Application across the Entire Lighting Industry.\" Professor Feng provided in-depth analyses from the perspectives of industry standards, digital technology, and industrial applications, offering teachers and students cutting-edge ideas and professional insights that help expand their knowledge in the field of digital intelligent lighting.
After the lecture, Director Yang Shan led more than 10 students to the Siquande product exhibition hall to embark on an immersive learning experience related to technology. Ye Jianhui, Siquande’s chief engineer, provided a detailed explanation to the teachers and students on the practical applications of version 1.2 of the Guang’an Zhiwei intelligent visualization lighting system; he demonstrated key functions such as automatic device recognition, instant generation of topology maps, and real-time monitoring and warning systems, allowing the students to see firsthand the safety and efficiency benefits that intelligent operation and maintenance bring to stage lighting. The teachers and students also had the opportunity to thoroughly experience Siquande’s core products, including its visualization lighting fixtures, and to gain a close understanding of the company’s cutting-edge technologies and product quality, thereby strengthening their professional knowledge through hands-on practice and interaction.
The signing of this cooperation agreement between Nanjing University of the Arts and the training and practice base represents an important step taken by Siquande to strengthen partnerships between schools and enterprises and to foster the development of talent in this industry. In the future, Guangzhou Siquande will continue to pursue its mission of \"ensuring safety related to light and shadow and promoting the intelligent visualization of lighting systems used in performances.\" By working together with the School of Digital Art at Nanjing University of the Arts, it will use industrial resources to support education and research efforts, thereby helping to cultivate innovative talents in the field of digital lighting for performances and contributing to the high-quality development of this industry.
