From October 12 to November 10, the Taichung City Tun District Art Center will hold an AR interactive experience exhibition titled “Into the Fairy Tale—The Elephant King’s Exhibition of Photography” in the Aesthetic Space on the first floor. The exhibition, organized by Telling Tent, a contracted team of the Center, starts with the character “Elephant King” from the animation Red Nose’s Adventure. Featuring AR displays with illustrated designs, as well as AR experiences and static gameplay that reflect Elephant King’s dream of becoming a photographer, this event invites visitors of all ages to capture magical moments using their phones. The “Into the Fairytale - The Elephant King’s Exhibition of Photography” AR interactive experience exhibition combines the unique imagery of the Tun District Art Center with a joyful opening tea party at its core, presenting a cute version of the Center. The “Coloring Zone” on-site creates an immersive, educational, and entertaining experience for families in Taichung, offering quality bonding time for parents and children.
Telling Tent is dedicated to creating tech-driven, interactive experiences for families, developing ten original animations to deepen its connection with them, and aiming to bring new, entertaining, and immersive experiences to families around Taiwan. In addition, Telling Tent will also present the “Seagull Oh My Party—Miss Seagull’s Story and Painting Interactive Party” at the Tun District Art Center's B1 Art Shared Space on October 12-13 and October 25-26.
