Twenty-Five Seconds at Huashan

CO-FORM moves between a public wall and an online room

After dark, CO-FORM plays on Huashan's outdoor wall while people cross the old winery complex on the way to an exhibition, dinner, a shop or the MRT.

CO-FORM contains twenty-five works by twenty-five women creators. Each work lasts twenty-five seconds. A complete run takes ten minutes and twenty-five seconds, although a person walking through Huashan is more likely to meet it somewhere in the middle. CO-FORM is one of six programmes sharing the wall, so even the beginning of its loop depends partly on when you happen to arrive.

The creators met through CCC Taiwan's 2026 summer creative-coding programme. Across eight classes they worked with JavaScript and tools including p5.js, ml5.js, Strudel and Hydra. Instead of leaving the works on twenty-five personal screens, they built a collective programme for the Huashan wall and a separate online exhibition.

The New Art City exhibition is dark and reflective, with the CO-FORM mark suspended inside a white circular structure. There is no need to wait for the next work in the loop. You can move through the room, choose a piece, watch its complete sequence, read the artist's account and return to it.

尹沛螢 Pei Ying Yin's 《ㄅ級機密》 fills the screen with translucent purple and green forms carrying Zhuyin symbols. The title sounds out “B-level secret.” Zhuyin can be perfectly legible to people who grew up with it and opaque to someone outside that shared language. That difference becomes moving encryption. The bubbles drift, collide and carry their symbols with them.

Cindy Lin builds 《香火 / Incense》 from the OpenStreetMap coordinates of 5,787 temples in Taiwan. Orange and gold points gather on black until geography looks like flame. Each point belongs to a temple people visit, maintain and recognize; together they show how densely temples occupy the island.

In 《Taipei Plan B》, 鍾依靜 maps access to emergency contraception across Taipei's 456 li. Orange shows the present distribution; purple shows another possibility. In that alternative, the median distance falls from 535 metres to 203, and the number of li more than one kilometre from access falls from 94 to 33.

In alice's 《Interference Field》, changing focal points, caustics and reflected light generate a monochrome field that folds and opens as it moves. Mathematical relations produce its light, symmetry and instability.

At Huashan, the wall can introduce you to a work halfway through an evening. The online room lets you find that artist again, watch the full piece and keep looking.
