The exhibit is the result of a collaborative effort between the Egret Foundation and numerous artists. It features ceramic art, creative/cultural products, publications, new media interactive theater presentations, and music/visual performances. It is an exhibit based on Taiwan’s natural beauty and history. It's absolutely creative and absolutely Taiwan! Our live XR performance was one of the attractions. The pianist performs a short verse and falls into an augmented dimension with the audience where a dancer takes them to different realms depicting Taiwan's beautiful landscapes. To end up back in the present reality with the AR dancer stuck in our time space. We replayed in a time loop four interactive new media performances: Inheritance, Sayion II, Amore, and XR Obsession. Interactive Activities were also present for visitors to participate in our group masterpiece coloring and to immerse themselves with our moving AR props. There were 37 artists on exhibit. Lastly, we recorded the full five days of visitor flow in and out of our exhibit concentrating the focus on the interactive activities, to create a time-lapse short film that portrayed the dynamic ambiance of the days at Art Taipei.





We applied multimedia, motion capture, and volumetric capture in our work. At Art Taipei, we engaged with global art dealers and visitors. We used iPads to run interactive AR applications and we used a 3D sensor camera to enable an XR experience for the audience. Our group coloring of a Master piece called "ART IS FUN" was a hit with visitors age 3 to 90. On a wall sized LED screen, we played XR Obsession along with other cross art productions in a loop, inspiring many attendees. It was joyful to observe visitors dancing along side our production, raising questions about our artwork, and fighting over iPads to take selfies with our AR. Creating innovative interactive art for people to engage with curiosity and enthusiasm has been a fulfilling mission.
