Exploring the Logos and Slogans of New Taipei City’s Vanished or Historically Significant Industries, Reimagined as Fictional Neon Signs.This project continues the Neo N Old series by investigating historical trademarks, slogans from old photographs, and industrial symbols of Taiwan’s past. These elements are then reinterpreted as imagined neon visuals, transforming early analog, hand-painted or carved imagery into vivid, high-brightness digital LED animations.

By reviving and simulating the aesthetics of outdated yet polished visual styles, the work reflects on how Taiwan’s industries once stood at the crossroads of global economic development—now preserved only in fragmented personal and collective memory. The static industrial images are rendered with an illusory animation effect, producing a sense of futuristic nostalgia—a dislocated timeline of an “expired future.”This dissonance between temporal layers invites reflection on the illusion of time itself, the shifts and constants of the world, and the fragile intersection between memory, history, and media.
