Human Flower greets you at the entrance of the Virtual Venue. It inherits Taiwan NOW's theme of Flowers and Blessings by presenting the core spirit of the program—Blossom TWOgether—and creating an interactive experience.

JL DESIGN has specially invited creators across various fields in Taiwan and Japan in this collaborative project, including 3D video production team TMRRW STUDIO, director WU Chung-lun with a background in both photography and animation, dance company Les Petites Choses Production that integrates dance art into daily life, Owen WANG who is always in search of more cross-discipline possibilities in sound, and NAXS Corp. that specializes in virtual reality art. Together, a vibrant virtual garden is created.
Using the interactions and friendship between Taiwan and Japan as the basis of creation, it is hoped that visitors can feel the flow of emotions through the dancing video Human Flower and relay the energy of this interplay of lives.
As visitors float in the surrounding sounds of the virtual garden enjoying an immersive music experience, they are free to touch different color flags and words of blessing. The image elements of dancing human figures are reorganized and recombined into a deconstructed image of Human Flower. The flower-like dance unfolds into a feast for the eyes and ears, finally guiding the visitors into the cloud exhibition hall.

We hope visitors can let themselves go, feel the intertwined emotions and blessings between people, and appreciate the organic vitality of art and culture. Let us blossom into a Human Flower that belongs to each one of us.

JL DESIGN
JL DESIGN, founded by Johnason Lo in 2007, is Taiwan’s first motion graphics design studio specializing in channel branding. Today, our focus is on branding, content and design that tells a story. The work for our international clientele encompasses print, motion, live action film and channel branding. Design is not just about solving problems, it is a way of thinking, an expression of an idea. We dare to think differently; providing a new imagination for any visual and executing cross disciplinary projects. Our ambitious works have won awards in PromaxBDA, Red Dot, iF, One Show, etc. In recent years, JL has been overseeing cultural exhibitions and major award ceremonies; the 2014 and 2015 Golden Pin Awards; the 25th, 26th, 29th, 30th Golden Melody Awards; the 56th and 57th Golden Horse Awards; the 2015 Creative Expo Taiwan; the World Design Capital, Taipei 2016, and acting as the curator of Taiwan Creative Content Fest 2020, creating the "Taiwan Hype" main visual for the exhibition. In 2016, JL DESIGN established an office in Shanghai; expanding our scope to include branding and cross disciplinary works for Netflix, EVA Air, Kaohsiung Music Center, TSMC. In 2017, JL became the General Manager and Executive Vice President of Digital Domain, Greater China. In 2020, he was made the Chief Brand Officer of Ta Ching Securities. With our unique perspective and storytelling, JL DESIGN explores different forms of expression in addressing cultural or commercial needs.
