Selected Taiwanese artists for City Sonic (moderation Philippe Franck / City Sonic) will also be there and will then give live performances at the Design Office.

In partnership with the the Digital Art Foundation/Centre/Festival of Taipei and the support of the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan.

Digital Art Center, Taipei is based upon the objectives of “R&D, experimentation, creation and incubation”. The intention is to accumulate energy in digital arts, and attain the core value of transcending short term profits; because we hope the various representative organizations that have demonstrated great potential will focus on the long term ideals and show the real meaning of collective involvement. In doing so, we hope to generate the most substantial and most abundant reward, thus making Taipei Digital Art Center the base for the development of the emerging digital contents industry and culture.

As of 2009, it will be operated by the Digital Art Foundation, which comprises veteran organizations that have a wealth of experience in the fields of digital or techno art; these include experts from academic institutions, industry, art museum management and creative art etc. With high expectations, the intention is to harness cross-industry, cross-platform and cross-regional cooperation, by planning and execution of a series of R&D, demonstration and performance exhibition projects, thereby realizing the concept of fusion between digital technologies and arts. Through core values that transcend short-term profit, the Digital Art Center hopes that representative organizations from the various fields will focus on long-term ideals, thereby demonstrating the positive meaning of joint collaboration, and generating the most substantial and abundant reward.
