Most of the Military Kindred Village have been knocked down since 1990’s, that means people are losing the chance to communicate with historical building and the culture. Even though there were many protest march and event staged around Taiwan, but it still can’t keep up with change. The culture of Military Kindred Village is unique and important to Taiwan. So I start to collect the pictures of it and design interactive artworks in VR, Pepper's ghost, and LeapMotion. I remodeled many old scenes and bring them life, trying to use this way to last this culture. The first artwork<Urban Factory: Episode I :Soft Destruction> is telling our world is making progress with destroying old culture, and there is a factory for burning the old culture to get new energy, it’s mine imagination but it expressed the fact. I collected the process of losing our village for years, and I show them in the artwork. I claim that the culture will not vanish. It is just convert to other shape for lasting. The second artwork< Urban Factory: Episode II : A SPACE ODYSSEY> is telling that when I was discovering my grandpa’s memories ,I felt it was like a space journey, the life clips of people of Military Kindred Village are similar to astronomical cachet, their relationship is just like universal gravitation, they linked and influenced each other. I deconstructed and re-built it into this artwork, trying to use this way to convey people’s toleration and understanding. In the third artwork< Urban Factory: Episode III : CONCRETE JUNGLE> ,I used VR glasses to display the long for life of new and old culture mixing, I tried to use this artwork to give rise to people of re-think about the Cultural Heritage Preservation
