N x N Possibilities (for New Balance)
2022
N x N Possibilities
New Balance has launched its first “N x N Possibilities” collaborative art project in Taiwan, inviting three young Taiwanese creative teams — Cheng Tsung FENG, Keng Chen WU, and Temperature — to co-create a 10-meter-long installation along Xinyi Xiangti Avenue in Taipei.
Cheng Tsung FENG, known for his refined structural aesthetics, lays the foundation for this collaboration. Through digital parametric design and the principle of physical mirroring, he constructs a timber structure that transforms the everyday street into a mesmerizing field of shifting reflections.
Keng Chen WU brings a reinterpretation of New Balance and its signature “GREY” through the visual language of Taiwanese paper-cutting. Her work expresses the brand’s elegance, softness, and persistent forward motion within the intersecting grey framework.
Temperature, dedicated to communicating the beauty of life through natural materials, plants Taiwan-native species into the iconic “N” form, creating a walkable green path that invites visitors to reconnect with nature.
“N x N” is about shifting perspectives in everyday life, unlocking imagination, and embracing the many faces of the world. It opens up infinite possibilities.

N x N種可能
New Balance在台灣展開了首次「N x N種可能」藝術共創計畫,邀集三組台灣年輕藝術家范承宗、吳耿禎、溫度物所共同合作,於台北信義香堤大道創造一道十米的行廊裝置作品。
范承宗以其擅長的結構美學為本次的共創建立基底,他透過數位運算軟體詮釋純粹的物理鏡像原理與木造結構,在尋常街道上創造不尋常的多重成像視覺,引人駐足觀看鏡中世界迷人多變的萬花表情。
吳耿禎在交錯的灰色結構上將「New Balance」與「GREY」的精神以台灣剪紙視覺符號轉譯,展現品牌柔軟典雅、持續前進的意念。
溫度物所致力透過自然素材傳達生活之美,以品牌經典符號「N」為形植滿台灣原生植物,創造可遊走其中的綿延小徑。
N x N是在尋常的日子裡改變觀點與打開想像,擁抱世界不同的面貌,展開無限的多重可能。
