From October 26th to November 10th, 2013, rubber duck cooperated with the Taoyuan Landscape Art Festival and exhibited it in Houhu, Taoyuan. [15]
On November 1, 2013, rubber duck, which was exhibited in Taoyuan, was attacked by a strong wind when it was inflated, causing the duck to rupture. The engineering crane entered the scene in the afternoon and spent one hour lifting off the duck. [16]
Keelung
From December 21st, 2013 to January, 2014, rubber duck spent Christmas and New Year holidays with people in Keelung.
At noon on December 31st, 2013, rubber duck suddenly burst and became discouraged. According to the witness of the people at the scene, rubber duck burst from the right duck head. [17] After preliminary analysis, the cause of the accident was that the inflatable blower worked continuously.
The generated heat made the temperature difference inside and outside the duck bigger, and with the sunny day, rubber duck eventually "died" due to heat expansion and cold contraction. However, Hoffman, the designer of "rubber duck", doesn't quite agree with this. He thinks that the exhibition team made it.
Cleaning the duck with detergent leads to the fragility of the flat-seam connection line, and the over-inflation of the blower is also one of the incentives.
On January 2, 2014, rubber duck was restored. At 5 pm, the staff tested the duckling and said that there was absolutely no scar.
