Built in 1908, the old railway beside The Pier-2 Art Center’s Penglai Sector boasts arc-shaped tracks that connect with surrounding harborside warehouses and the Port of Kaohsiung to form a unique sea-land transportation network, becoming a crucial Kaohsiung port-related cultural site for over 100 years. With the passing of time and industrial shifts, the railway is no longer operational. In 2018, 12 teams of light, shadow, and new media artists collaborated to create the Hamasen Railway Cultural Park, erecting a large-scale light and landscape art called “Illuminate Hamasen” that adorns the railway with colorful beams. Without destroying the railway, the artists mixed LED strips and beads together as well as writing codes that enable LEDs to change color in response to music. Light shines beautifully along the tracks, illuminating the Hamasen Railway Cultural Park and brings art and industries together. This artwork won the First Taiwan Light Environment Award in 2018.
駁二蓬萊倉庫旁的舊鐵道於1908年完成，軌道呈弧形散射，與港邊倉庫及港口建構出獨特的海陸聯運系統，為高雄港百年來重要的港埠文化地景。
隨著時代更迭、產業轉型，現在鐵道上已無火車行駛，但卻有繽紛的光束奔馳於軌道上。這是2018年結合12組光影及新媒體藝術創作者，以哈瑪星鐵道園區上的鐵軌為基礎所完成的大型地景光藝術平台《哈瑪星光任務》。
在不破壞鐵道的前提下，藝術家們利用LED燈條、燈珠的混色效果，透過程式編碼，讓LED燈隨著音樂閃爍變化。燈光沿著軌道弧線畫出優美的線條，宛如一場夜間的光之華爾滋，點亮百年鐵道園區，也讓藝術串聯起產業歷史場域的今昔風華，本作更榮獲2018年第一屆台灣光環境獎。
