class=MainTitle MidMap The performance utilizes the outdoor landscape as its visual canvas, decoupling live sound and channeling the music into a web broadcast. Through device connectivity, the audience reperceives the space at the intersection of the physical and the virtual. This "Separation and Connection" format explores the mysterious "absent presence"—the subtle tension between humanity, environment, and technology.
By preserving the natural scenery as the primary visual while abstracting live sound into a data stream—rather than broadcasting it through high-powered speakers—the collective experience of public space is transformed, through individual devices, into a private, intimate "Virtual Silent Disco." Chung-Han Yao — Feel the Space  |Location|Cafe Bayland Mountain + Juming Museum  |Material|Video and Sound Installation |
class=View View1 Water Body_25.25, 121.61 is a long-term ecological practice that challenges anthropocentric spatial perspectives, reimagining the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, and between humans and non-humans. At the heart of this project lies an aquatic ecosystem situated within a semi-open indoor space. Through technological intervention, the system maintains and shapes environmental conditions to attract non-human species, creating a multi-species cohabitation space where humans deliberately recede.
Driven by a feedback system comprising water surface radar, embedded sensors, and automated maintenance mechanisms, the project continuously records and responds to environmental shifts, including the interactions of animals, humans, and other organisms. Over time, the system accumulates data, evolving into an "ecological sculpture" endowed with real-time perception and the capacity for archival growth.

class=View View2 Glimmering Stopover: Waiting Softly begins with the everyday functions of a bus shelter—protection, pause, rest, and waiting—and transforms the act of waiting into a soft, warm spatial experience. Through fiber wrapping and the translation of the North Coast's natural imagery, the work turns a transit facility that people usually pass through in a hurry into a daily street-side landscape in Laomei: a place to be felt, paused at, and gently inhabited. Hsiao-Wei Yang — Glimmering Stopover: Waiting Softly |Location|Laomei Bus Station |Material|Yarn, iron structure, and mixed media |
class=View View3 Based on the natural rock formations of the coastline, this work incorporates mirrored reflections to create a vibrant, illusory wonderland through sound, color, and light, guiding the audience's physical and mental perceptions through auditory immersion.
Spanning visual, tactile, auditory, and gustatory dimensions, this piece invites viewers to experience the beauty of art intertwined with nature.
Through sculpture and sound, the work tells the story of local life. The audio features a special edition of The Wave Collection (浪集), a podcast produced by the "Wave In Jinshan" team over three years of interviews for the Formosa North Coast Art Festival. This allows visitors to connect with the behind-the-scenes stories, energy, and profound sense of connection inherent to the North Coast from multiple perspectives.

class=View View4 Inspired by the form of ripples, this work creates a maze for exploration, inviting the audience to wander within while echoing the unique hydrological environment of the North Coast, shaped by the convergence of tides and currents. As visitors move through the space, a real-time system senses their rhythm and position, triggering surrounding lights and sounds to weave an improvisational performance existing only in the moment—turning both the site and the body into a collective musical instrument. Within this ripple-enclosed space, participants are no longer mere spectators; they become active co-creators of rhythm, light, and shadow, composing a contemporary movement unique to the North Coast with every step ZAP — Ripples Between Us |Location|Sanzhi Visitor Center |Material|Iron, LED, Sensor, Computer, Speaker |
class=View View5 Centering on the core imagery of a "torch," this work symbolizes the transmission of energy and guidance. Through kinetic mechanisms and electronic control systems, it portrays fire as a digital dynamic—a fusion of sound and light—transforming it into an "artificial flame" generated by machinery and signals. Situated within a local context, the piece bridges traditional symbolism with technological translation, evolving the torch into a contemporary energy landscape that is constantly generative, fluid, and ever-changing. Jong-Wei Chang, Kai-Lun Zheng — Torch of the Digital Quaternary |Location|Sanzhi Visitor Center |Material|LED Lights, Metal, Acrylic, Speakers, and Motors |
class=View View2 View6 The temperature of fire, the memory of earth—through the baptism of intense heat, this work symbolizes the reshaping and rebirth of local culture. It seeks to awaken the profound cultural heritage of the North Coast, transforming local historical imprints into a tactile visual language. Within the interlaced structures of brick and tile, viewers can sense the flow and stillness of time, reflecting on the inseparable symbiotic relationship between humanity, art, and the natural land.
As you step closer into the layers of bricks, you will find that time slows down—it is the breath of the earth, and the gentlest mark art has left for this ocean. Chun-Hsiang Hsu — Refined by Fire |Location|Sanzhi Visitor Center |Material|Red brick and bamboo |
class=View View7 Breath of the Mountain is located along the passage leading to the terraced fields at Chuhuangkou Farm in Shimen. Constructed with bamboo sourced from the site, the work forms a linear sculpture that flows like the wind. Responding to the mountain valley’s air currents, terrain, and agricultural landscape, the artwork transforms the invisible movement of wind into a walkable and sensory spatial experience, expressing the Satoyama spirit of harmonious coexistence between people and nature.
