Abstract:
Rhinoceros are huge and strong but now almost extinct. `White Rhinoceros' is
a sculpture that was exhibited in 1993 and now placed in storage. Twenty
years after `White Rhinoceros' was first displayed, a team of animation
artists and engineers revived this outdated sculpture endowing new meanings,
stories, and technologies. `The Journey of a White Rhinoceros', using
Augmented Reality technologies, delivered messages to the gallery visitors on
the greed and blindness of human being, the ecosystem of the earth, and
imminent crises of natural disasters. Two projectors projected videos and
animated special effects on the sides of the White Rhinoceros, and one
movable large display was employed to show the augmented views on the
rhinoceros as a background. `The Journey of a White Rhinoceros' was displayed
for four days at a gallery attracting interests of many visitors, especially
of young generations.
