Intuition, a highly acclaimed exhibition promoted by Not Just Library, will be installed in Taitung, beginning on March 22, through cooperation between Taiwan Design Center and Taitung Design Center. Through the integration of aesthetic design and performance, the newly installed exhibition is expected to attract both locals and tourists, propelling local creativity while also advancing Taitung tourism.

“Follow intuition, create a concept.” — Jay
The exhibition curator, Jay Guan Jie Peng, believed that visual design isn’t stagnate at a predetermined latitude. While he still believes emotion is at the core of all design, he is intensely focused on creating visuals that are both unexpected and striking, while also combining different mediums and provoking interaction with viewers. After founding Project On Museum as a small design agency, Jay has since expanded the company to include strategy, planning, and marketing. With years of experience following intuition and innovation to breathe life into their designs, the team at Project On Museum — the so-called “imagination architects” — have stored up a massive database of stories and content. Now, these stories are finally coming to the fore.

Perceptiveness Meets Rationality
A stroll through the exhibit takes visitors on a journey through the thinking process, at the neural level. The left and right sides of the brain are responsible for rational and perceptive cognition and judgement, respectively — both working together towards a common goal. Similarly, Jay believes Taitung is a place with excellent communication. We have the ability to improve the way we solve problems — it’s just a matter of practicing self reflection.

▌ About Taitung Design Center
The Taitung Design Center is a city that plans through human-centered design, and one that works to illuminate and solve problems. Taitung invites locals, immigrants, administrators and visitors to experience Taitung and offer their own perspective about government administration, natural environment and urban life.
After remodeling the old visitors’ center, the Taitung Design Center officially moved into a brand new open space last August. At the same time, they opened a series of enlivened spaces and design projects in the culturally rich old train station. By planning exhibitions related to Taitung, they are both increasing the space’s value and also communicating with the people in a more subtle way.
