Project description

From a Public Art and Installation Art perspective, this work stands out as a highly engaging and context-sensitive intervention that successfully bridges cultural heritage with contemporary spatial experience. The dual installations not only activate the library environment but also transform it into a participatory cultural interface, where audiences are invited to interact, reflect, and connect with collective memory. The integration of light, movement, and data visualization enriches the sensory dimension of the space, while the narrative rooted in Hakka history gives the work strong cultural depth and identity. It is a thoughtful and well-executed example of how public art can transcend decoration and become an active medium for storytelling, education, and community engagement.
