The Neon lights installation is commissioned by the Taiwan Lantern Festival in Kaohsiung. It is a reinterpretation of tradition through the modern medium and portrayal of different animals in forms of neon light sculptures. The animal sculptures glow brightly in the night in the smart city, along repurposed old factories, art, and design. An affective mood surrounds the space, as visitors interact with the light sculptures, appreciating the meeting of old memories and new ideas, under the moonlight.
