Data Light Flows
Combining DaGang Bridge, Pier-2 Art Center, and the Daqiaotou Station of Kaohsiung Circular Light Rail, this unique urban immersive theater transforms everyday data into light art projected onto the DaGang Bridge. When the train arrives, the cultural tech light show is instantly activated.

Note: The performance times will flexibly adjust to the actual train arrival times at Daqiaotou Station.



[Xverse: New Cross-Border Vision
Featuring four chapters: "Ocean," "Industry," "Technology," and "Future."]

Act One: Ocean
Particles of light flow, opening connections between humanity's origins in the ocean and the vast universe. Stars twinkle, schools of fish swim, and ocean waves flow like galaxies between planets and seas. The sound waves of whales resonate with cosmic energy, merging the universe and ocean.

Act Two: Industry
The dreams of the industrial era turn. DaGang Bridge resembles a cosmic vessel landing in Kaohsiung Harbor, facilitating interaction between the universe and Earth. The birth of the industrial era marks the beginning of machines assisting labor. Precise mechanical displays measure time, showcasing the prosperity and vibrancy of the industrial age.

Act Three: Technology
Geometric light and shadow rhythms narrate the evolution of human civilization and culture. Ultimately, they converge into a technological eye that spans a century of history and the future.

Act Four: Future


The technological eye opens to a brilliant future, flourishing with vibrant colors. Fireworks dazzle. Music, the harbor, the ocean, and the universe fill the DaGang Bridge, creating a dreamlike carnival experience!



[Interactive Light Shadows on the Plaza Floor]


The performance site is located in front of the Pier-2 Tower by the DaGang Bridge. This artwork is a collaboration between the community and the curatorial team, utilizing interactive projections to generate various artistic expressions. Under the visual transformations of DaGang Bridge, the audience is invited to immerse themselves in a new vision, experiencing their participation in the artwork.
