Opening Ceremony Party

With nationally renowned pioneer sound artist, Wang Fu Jui, as lead planner, in collaboration with the talents of international heavyweight sound artist, Frank Bretschneider, from Germany, TNUA’s Center for Art and Technology, and Live DJ Lin Chiang, this festival combines technology art performance, venue, and culture to create an unprecedented spectacle.

Skyline

With planning from TNUA's Center for Art Technology's Sounds of the Future Laboratory (a joint creation by Wang Fu Jui, Chui Chin Hsian, Chang Yong Ta, Ye Ting Hao, and Wang Sei Bang), the festival combines digital technology with light, shadow, color, image, building forms, and sounds. It recreates the landscape of public buildings through changes in the light and shadow across an entity's walls and the virtual interface of optical structures. The result is a border that continuously disappears and a form that constantly reshapes, defined only by the staggered interweaving of light and shadow with sound.

EXP

A visual-audio piece that melds sound and physical senses
Frank Bertschneider uses the rhythm of video and audio to lay out a new geometric world.  Using digital programming to control the exercise of sound and visuals, he attempts to draw out the abstract purity of music and transform it into a series of unpredictable images utilizing simple geometric patterns and complex forms. The resulting images are extremely appealing, inviting viewers to participate.

Frank Bretschneider

Born in East Germany in 1956, Frank Bretschneider currently lives in Berlin and works as a musician, composer and sound artist.  His works are known for their precise sound configuration, complexly interwoven rhythmic structures, and minimal yet flowing characteristics.  Subtlety and delicacy are prominent features of his music, which are truly based on the blending of sound and visual imagery.

Return to the West, Head to the East

Renowned musician Lin Chiang's mixed music masterpieces.  Space-time is a human illusion.  Music is not categorized, nor is it avant-garde or traditional.  It is just energy waves passing through air.  Western, Eastern, or Taiwanese folk songs, pop music, nostalgic or futuristic... are just materials for a DJ.
