In April 2023, Pinxi directed the interdisciplinary composition concert "Sensibilia" at Berklee, and premiered her sound art project, Heart of The Great Canal, which later gained recognition from the Southwest Office of the China Geological Society. Drawing inspiration from the synergy of music, natural science and technology, Pinxi dedicates to craft sonic narratives that advocate for a profound connection between communities and their natural environment.
