Project Brief

The biggest highlight of this exhibition area is the super-large baseball main lantern, "Ball of Radiance," which is the largest spherical installation in the history of the Lantern Festival. It combines inflatable membrane technology with a supporting structure, creating a rich sense of technology and futurism. Not only does it respond to the environmental theme of Rakuten Baseball Stadium, but it also pays tribute to the honor of Taiwan's baseball team making its mark on the world stage in 2024.

Project Innovation/Need

In addition to the large baseball installation, this event is also complemented by an exciting light show, along with immersive light sea interactions. The show weaves together ocean wave imagery and dynamic baseball effects, symbolizing infinite challenges and innovation. The display of creativity highlights the youthful vitality and spirit of dreams in the city, offering the public a fantastic light journey that merges the experiences of the ocean and baseball!

Design Challenge

In the lead-up to the Lantern Festival, numerous meetings were held to discuss and finalize the setup of the 20-meter giant baseball installation and to perfectly present the light sculpture projection. We conducted several tests on the projection equipment, and in the end, we overcame challenges such as the venue and weather conditions, successfully completing the performance.

Sustainability

The convenient transportation around the Lantern Festival not only attracts visitors from around the world to experience the event but also stimulates the local tourism economy. With this kind of activity planning, the baseball stadium is not only a sports venue, but also a “stage for sustainable education and cultural transmission”, which is complementary to the policies implemented by the officials, and combines environmental protection, technological applications, and parent-child education, as well as combining the concepts of festivals and sustainability.
