Debuted amidst a Taiwanese forest at the 2020 Taiwan Lantern Festival, “The Search of the Glow” is an ephemeral, spherical LED installation by artist Ling-Li Tseng. This minimalist, spectral creation boasts a sphere shape made of lightweight wooden ovals. The inside of this structure is covered in LED tubes, exuding a gentle glow that transforms the forest into a misty wonderland.
Visitors are invited to step into the hollow orb, where they become part of the magical interplay between light, human interaction, and nature. Tseng’s installation celebrates the convergence of digital fabrication and traditional craftsmanship, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling excitement of the festival.
The artwork is a small installation made for the 2020 Taiwan Lantern Festival and was placed in a wooded area away from the central visitor plaza. The installation offers a gentle, harmonious, and tranquil space under the trees where one can commune with nature and take a break from the noisy excitement of the traditional celebration. The installation creates a natural experience and offers an alternative to the decorative displays that have been routinely seen at usual festivals.
