Taiwan Creative Culture & Arts Expo: A New Sensory Journey in the Era of Creativity
By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Department
“Now is an era of cross-boundary collaboration,” said veteran curator Hu Chao-sheng bluntly. The Taiwan Creative Culture & Arts Expo, to be held on January 1, 2017, at the DALI ART Art Plaza in the Taichung Software Park, will gather thousands of works by domestic and international artists, 51 dynamic pop performances, and over 500 creative shops during its nearly two-month run. By facilitating industry exchanges and matchmaking across art, culture, architecture, installations, 3D digital media, performance, and food, the event will engage all five senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—to promote local creative culture and help it reach the world.

New Media Art Shakes the Senses
The curator of the “New Media Art Exhibition” at this year’s Taiwan Creative Culture & Arts Expo, Hu Chao-sheng, said, “Creative culture stems from originality, and art itself is a form of originality.” Some people still have the stereotype that art is just about visiting museums to look at paintings, but in fact, with the continuous evolution of technology, the mediums of creation have long moved beyond paper and canvas into the virtual world. Virtual reality, computer projection, thermal sensing, and sound installations give creators more freedom to express themselves, while audiences shift from passive observers to active participants. In this expo that emphasizes innovative value, 14 artists from Taiwan, the U.S., Japan, India, and other countries have been specially invited to create with new media materials. As Hu Chao-sheng put it: to truly integrate creativity into daily life.

“This exhibition might be a completely new experience for you,” said Hu Chao-sheng. “The theme is empathy—letting artworks interact with visitors’ voices and reactions, thus making the audience part of the work.” For example, Taiwanese artist Tao Ya-lun’s piece

Go Qing-Crazy with Emperor Qianlong
This year’s Taiwan Creative Culture & Arts Expo has specially invited several institutions, including the National Palace Museum, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, the National Caotun Craft Research Institute, and Chaoyang Design Institute, to jointly present seven special exhibitions. The National Palace Museum brings its award-winning “Qing-Cool: The New Media Exhibition of Emperor Qianlong” to central Taiwan. The coolest ambassador deep within the museum—Emperor Qianlong himself—takes the stage, using cutting-edge technology to lead visitors into the creative life of the Qing imperial court. The highlight of Qing-Cool lies in its interactive exhibits that transform the museum’s collections, immersing visitors in the atmosphere of royal treasures. Through participation, visitors truly grasp the spirit behind the artworks.
