Lantern Festival

Lantern Festival is a public light exhibition held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The event covers two areas, Weiwuying and Love River Bay, with a total of about 100 hectares. Works by local and international art teams are placed among the forest, the national venues and the harbor. Three groups of main lights are presented on land, at sea and in the air. Drone shows, an immersive light and shadow theater and a new lighting system along the Love River are included. Many works are planned for long-term display, so the city keeps the artworks after the event.

Dancing of Blooming

Dancing of Blooming is a large lantern created as a welcoming light for a Lantern Festival event in Taiwan. The lantern is 10 meters tall with the peacock tail feathers open and 8.5 meters when closed, and 6 meters in diameter. The surface is made of lantern fabric with computerized color spray printing, and the skeleton is made of iron for added strength. Mechanical systems let the lantern rotate, open the flower petals, move the butterfly wings and spread the peacock tail feathers. Internal RGB LED lights change color with the music.
