Taipei, Taiwan
Designed by Huang Wen-Hao and his team at noiseKitchen Art Co., Ltd., Water Cycling is an intriguing scenic installation designed to get Taipei citizens to exercise and take part in the city’s water cycle.
Parks are the heart of a city, providing the oxygen lifeblood for its citizens. As one of the significant elements of Taipei’s living space, the fusion style of how Daan Forest Park combines urban culture, eco nature and the technological arts, aims to flip the traditional forest park blueprint, to create the multiple values of life and nature, and to show a new style of Taipei living.
Water Cycling provides an opportunity for sports and recreation and also makes an ecological contribution to the environment.
The installation transforms kinetic energy from cycling into power that generates a water spray and increases the amount of oxygen in the water itself. The installation is equipped with QR codes, which when scanned give users three play modes to select from.
noiseKitchen Art is hoping to “nourish a forest with the energy of a city”, to combine a symbiosis eco technique with a series of technological art interaction installations full of cultural connotation.
It invites citizens to come, to release themselves from the pressure of work, to relax and take exercise. At the same time, it also provides nutrition to the whole forest.
