| DESIGN NAME: The Glimmer PRIMARY FUNCTION: Taped Train INSPIRATION: Tape that is in love with Kaohsiung after exploring the city, such as the sea, ports, and mountains, so they decide to put the beloved city on the train. You may observe rainbows in both the sky and the sea after rain, sparkling bays, scattered buildings, intricate traffic lines, and lighting patterns in the expression of well-developed high-end technology. For the interior, the interlaced arteries and veins represent the complex transportation of the train system in the city. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As an extension of the "Tape art by tape that 2.0" exhibition, while commemorating one of the biggest annual events in Kaohsiung, Taiwan - The Taiwan Lantern Festival, TAPE THAT uses glow tapes, which absorb sunlight in the daytime and glow at night, and luminous foils, and turns a train into a moving lantern, the first train lights up without any electrical power in the world. The story of Kaohsiung is transformed into a series of murals on the train. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: By transforming urban imagery, TAPE THAT transforms light-storing materials into its own creations, which bring out the essence of glimmering light flowing in the city. It's as if people can enter the train and become a part of the glimmering light. They gather and enter the train, then get off and disperse, like a creative medium, absorbing light in bright places and releasing it elsewhere. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Between 2022/1/28 and 3/31, a train named "The glimmer of the train." runs in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fine Arts and Art Installation Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Self-glowing tapes, luminous tapes, and luminous foils. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The 11-year accumulation of tape that is reflected in the glimmer of the train by applying multiple creative tape art techniques called "clash of styles". Nearly 110 square meters of tape covered the outside of the train. The interior was decorated with luminous foils and changing lights. TAGS: tape, art, train, Berlin, fundesign, tapethat, Kaohsiung, Taiwan RESEARCH ABSTRACT: An emerging art form, tape art has its origins in experimental street art. As it is movable and temporary, it can be used on any surface it is glued to, so it can blend easily into urban environments. Due to the wide variety of tapes, there are also many ways to create art with them. Without the aid of other tools, tape is the easiest way to draw straight lines. CHALLENGE: From the very beginning, we struggled to find the right light-emitting tape with just the right glue. In nearly half a year of testing, we identified the best performing material based on the light, shade, and time calculation and placed the tape outdoors to experience wind, rain, and sun, and based on the glue stability, degumming, and residual glue condition selected the appropriate glue mixing ratio.

NAME: Kaohsiung City Government PROFILE: 2022 Taiwan Lantern Festival in Kaohsiung To gather the belief of the whole city with an event of light, and promote the aesthetic movement of light and shadow at night After 20 years, the Taiwan Lantern Festival will be held again in Kaohsiung in 2022. It will be presented at two venues, Love River Bay and Weiwuying for the first time in history. More than 100 works and hundreds of programs will be displayed, presenting a novel and creative feast of light for people celebrating the New Year of the Tiger. Starting from the Love River, which runs through the city, we built the whole Love River into the largest main lantern in history. Uno Lai, the most influential lighting designer and lighting poet in Asia, was invited to connect 6 bridges across the Love River to create water lighting stretching for 7 kilometers, and then connect with Kaohsiung Music Center located at the river mouth, turning Love River into a stage for urban lighting exhibition. The lighting works by the art team located between Jhenai Road and Pier-2 Art Center have strong Taiwanese characteristics, childlike sound and light interaction, and huge shapes. The colorful light and shadow projected on the mottled warehouse wall echo Kaohsiung's special harbor, which makes it even more distinctive. Cross Great Harbor Bridge, works of the 2021 Kaohsiung International Container Arts Festival: Van Buren Supernova are exhibited at the 9th storage yard of the Penglai Commercial Port area. The artist transforms the container into stars on the sea, reversing the hard textile of the container and liberating the public's imagination of "light". Located in the century-old Railway Park, the "Illuminate Hamasen" is made of more than 20,000 meters of LED light bars, which not only reproduces the graceful arc of the track but also connects history with the landscape. It is the most important main light with the century-old historical significance of Kaohsiung. Finally, we took the MRT Orange Line to Weiwuying, where we could see a vast forest. In response to the site's history as an indigenous hunting ground thousand of years ago, the Austronesian Light Zone has been organized. Nine groups of Austronesian artists have been invited to work on the site, combining Austronesian material with the rich ecology of the park. In addition, artists from home and abroad are invited to make works respectful of nature and in combination with the environment of Weiwuying so as to turn Weiwuying into a forest of arts with light. In addition to the carefully selected and arranged Lantern Festival works, we are also presenting the first-ever performance of Maritime Glow, a musical featuring a light show and Taiwanese opera. The domestic troupe will jointly perform outdoor theater at Weiwuying to tell the story of Taiwan Island. In addition, we will also launch the Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival Environmental Dance at the outdoor venue of Kaohsiung Music Center, inviting the local dance troupe to perform in the light environment, allowing the audience to experience the light show and the dance. The wonderful performance will definitely turn your imagination to the Lantern Festival! |
