Urban Light Corridor Introduction
In 2001, Central Park, located in the heart of the city, created an 18-meter-long tree-lined corridor featuring the smiling faces of 2,001 citizens. Collaborating with nine local artists, a series of works themed around light was produced, allowing installation art and light and shadow to intertwine, transforming an ordinary daytime sidewalk and a dark nighttime path into a stage for artistic dreams, much loved by visitors. In 2014, to accommodate more visitors and breathe new life into Central Park, the Urban Light Corridor was remodeled again, creating a new cultural and artistic space with performance squares, pedestrian arts walkways, lightweight membrane structures, and installation art. The revamped Urban Light Corridor showcased sixteen new thematic installations, including a 3.6-meter-tall stainless steel giraffe that added fun to the park amidst the greenery. Additionally, there were laser-cut steel cityscapes, wall art, and 3D ground creations that, combined with the beautiful tree-lined scenery of Central Park, not only displayed artistic creativity and vitality but also underscored its charm under the lights at night. The diverse interactive installations enlivened the Urban Light Corridor's fun, and the accompanying dining and cultural activity spaces provided opportunities for artistic performances and a relaxing retreat, making it a great spot for visitors and tourists to experience urban aesthetics and cultural taste. In support of human rights in 2008, Chen Yunlin visited Taiwan, and the controversy over the Assembly and Parade Law sparked the "Wild Strawberry Student Movement," with students, citizens, and groups sitting in protest at the Urban Light Corridor across the island.
