Mobile Landscape Pedicab Aesthetic Project
Chiehsen Chiu, Margot Guillemot，Department of Art and Design, Yuan Ze University
Initiated by Professor Chiu Chieh-Sen and Margot Guillemot, the "Co-traveling Scenery Project" transforms the Xinwu coast into an experimental lab. Using quadricycles as sensory media, participants’ physical labor links stone weirs and wetlands, turning vehicles into "mobile mapping instruments" tuned to the tides.
The project reshapes a "performative gazetteer." Drawing on Deleuze’s nomadology, the cycles act as "war machines" creating "lines of flight" across fixed landscapes. Following Bourriaud’s relational aesthetics, the art emerges not from the vehicle, but from the "becoming" interaction between people, history, and the environment.
More than an exhibition, this is a study on "how to dwell." Through collective movement, it creates a "social sculpture" that redefines the symbiotic ethics between humanity and the land.

Chiehsen Chiu, Margot Guillemot，Department of Art and Design, Yuan Ze University
Graduating from the École des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier in 2016, Margot Guillemot and Chiehsen Chiu began collaborating regularly after relocating to Taiwan. Their joint practice focuses on spatial representation strategies and cartographic practices, integrating perception, form, and historical analysis. Through acts of mapping, their projects explore the subtle balance and tension between fidelity and abstraction, and between transcription and simulation.
Their works have been exhibited at Double Square Gallery (2022), the Yogyakarta Biennale (2021), Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts (2021), and the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (2021), and they received the 2021 X-Site Project from the Taipei Fine Arts Museum.
For this Land Art Festival, students from Yuan Ze University’s Department of Art and Design collaborated on the creation:
