On a train journey

A car window is the basic frame of Lin's work, through which he brings a journey from Taipei to Yunlin (雲林) in Southern Taiwan. Shot during the artist's university years, the exhibit gives you the opportunity to travel from town to town and discover the uniqueness of Taiwan's countryside.

“The Moving Landscape” is a 360-degree interactive video installation that simulates landscapes according to a train's motion, which can be changed at will. When the train moves fast, the surroundings are marvelously scenic; however, when it slows down, we see the factories, chimneys and other forms of pollution that are all around us and putting our lives in jeopardy.

The artist brings the issue of the environment under the spotlight. For the artist, trains are no longer simply vehicles for public transportation, but a vehicle that can also transport knowledge and bring people to a better life. ■
