Future Media Symposium

Venue: International Conference Hall, Taipei National University of the Arts

新媒體藝術近年來在臺灣的發展，已有漸成新顯學的趨勢，但與其他先進國家相較，我們的起步仍晚，在相關藝術形式、技術開發、美學論述等許多面向仍未臻成熟；再者，關於全球文化創意產業的趨向發展，亦對新媒體藝術的未來產生了本質的改變。在這個全球化瞬息萬變的當下，新媒體藝術之於參與此領域的創造者來說，前景將更具挑戰。因此，不斷的思索與辯證新媒體藝術的當代性意義，以及文化政策及環境變化的各重關係，將決定性的影響未來的文化發展及可能。
今次，與「超旅程－2012未來媒體藝術節」開展的同時，由國立臺北藝術大學藝術與科技中心與財團法人數位藝術基金會共同籌劃的「未來媒體藝術願景論壇」將以「臺灣數位藝術發展脈絡與定位」及「數位媒體藝術的應用與未來」兩個主題切入，拋出參與創造者的想法，以為下一輪的未來媒體挑戰提出方向思考。本論壇另邀請了兩位亞洲地區重要機構的專家，韓國白南準藝術中心主任朴東泉與日本橫濱美術館首席策展人天野太郎，透過他們的專業工作，給我們更多學習與經驗交流。

The development of new media art in Taiwan in recent years has gradually become a significant doctrine in the field of art. However, compared to other advanced countries our nation has had a late start. Related art forms, technological development, and discussions on aesthetics have not yet become mature. Moreover, the development of trends in the global cultural and creative industries has also created a change in the essence of the future of new media art. In these times where global changes happen rapidly, prospects will be more challenging for artists who wish to use new media as their artistic practice. Therefore, continuously thought and reflection on the contemporary meaning of new media art, as well as cultural policies and each important environmental change, will have a decisive influence on future cultural development and possibilities.
With the present launch of the Transjourney – 2012 Future Media Festival, the Future Media Symposium, which was planned by the Center for Art and Technology, TNUA as well as the Digital Art Foundation, will have two major themes: The History and Orientation of the Development of Taiwan’s Digital Art and The Practice and Future of Digital Media Arts. By using the ideas from participating artists, the Symposium attempts to provide a direction for ways to deal with challenges faced by the next generation of future media practice. This Symposium has invited two important institution experts from Asia to offer their expertise: Nam June Pail Art Center’s Manu Park from South Korean, and Yokohama Museum of Art’s chief curator Taro Amano from Japan. Through the benefit of their work, we hope to not only learn a great deal but also create opportunities to exchange experiences.
