(CNA Reporter Chao Li-yen, Taichung, 23rd) The National Museum of Natural Science is hosting the "There is a Shadow in Anti-Drug" special exhibition starting today. It features AI shadow play animations using fable stories to reveal drug dealers' false care and real enticements, along with various scientific facts to help the public distinguish the fine line between "medicine" and "drugs."
The National Museum of Natural Science will exhibit "There is a Shadow in Anti-Drug" in the Sunshine Corridor exhibition area from today until October 18. The exhibition name "There is a Shadow" conveys the double meaning of the Taiwanese phrase "really" and the visual characteristics of "images and shadows." Utilizing mirror reflections, shadow art, distorted images, and reverse perspective technology, it transforms the fine line between "medicine" and "drugs" and abstract knowledge of drug harms into a concrete and palpable immersive visual experience.
Huang Wen-san, the director of the museum, told a CNA reporter today that the museum uses vivid and interesting displays through "knowledge translation" to transform difficult anti-drug information into life education content that resonates with all age groups, deeply embedding correct judgment and defensive awareness in people's minds.
The curator and associate researcher of the museum's exhibition department, Yang Chung-hsin, pointed out that the exhibition integrates multiple interactive display devices, introducing common drug traps related to curiosity and peer pressure, and dismantling the common inductive rhetoric of drug-using friends. It also features AI shadow play animations, using fables to reveal the manipulation tactics of drug dealers—"false care, real enticement." In the contrasting plots of "lost" or "awake," visitors witness the divergent destinies brought by different choices.
The exhibition provides various popular science facts, teaching the audience how to identify physiological signals after drug use. The museum reminds everyone that once drugs are abused beyond their medical purpose, they become illicit drugs. The common abused substances fall into three major categories: stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens. Long-term use will lead to brain lesions and cause damages such as "marijuana lungs" and "ketamine bladders." (Editor: Li Shu-hua) 1150423
