City Light Corridor Introduction
In 2001, the Central Park located in the city center created an 18-meter-long tree-lined corridor featuring 2,001 smiling faces of citizens, in collaboration with nine local artists. The theme of light inspired a series of works, allowing the installation art to intertwine with light and shadow, transforming an ordinary sidewalk by day and a dark one by night into a stage for artistic dreams, which was greatly loved by visitors. In 2014, in order to accommodate more visitors and give new life to Central Park, the Urban Light Corridor was renovated again, creating a brand new cultural and artistic space with a performance plaza, an arts pedestrian walkway, a lightweight membrane structure, and installation art. The revamped Urban Light Corridor introduced sixteen new themed installation works, including a 3.6-meter-tall stainless steel giraffe that added interest to the park amidst the green trees, as well as laser-cut urban landscapes, wall art, and ground 3D creations. These artworks not only showcased creativity and vibrancy against the backdrop of the beautiful tree-lined park, but also exuded charm under the lighting at night. The diverse interactive installation art revitalized the fun of the Urban Light Corridor, and the accompanying dining and cultural space activities provided venues for artistic performances and a relaxing resting area, making it a great spot for visitors and tourists to experience urban lifestyle aesthetics and cultural taste. In 2008, Chen Yunlin visited Taiwan, and due to the controversy surrounding the Assembly and Parade Act, the "Wild Strawberry Movement" emerged, with students, citizens, and groups holding sit-ins at the Urban Light Corridor throughout the country.
