How come? By riding on the 1990s digital boom might be the obvious answer. Surely, the ‘Electronics Kingdom’ has been manufacturing affordable gadgets and computers of all kinds imaginable, and tend of millions continue to be shipped around the world each year. The unsurpassable wealth created during that era is praised as the backbone of Taiwan’s development. Though the success has been long in the making and there is a lot more to it than the Forbes charts.
It is the intention of this work to introduce a different view of Taiwan, one seen through the eyes of a new generation of creative people passionately concerned about its future.

Such engagements can often lead to a greater respect amongst peoples and can serve to improve mutual understanding of cultural values. This can be achieved through projects in the arts, sports, or academia and open up a space for new business and new opportunities to be pursued.
Furthermore, in the post-industrial world, it is a growing trend to focus on advancing the marketability of cultural and creative goods and services as valuable contributors to the national GDP; with the Creative Industries growing by 50% in employment and over 139% by 2015 according to KPMG.
How does culture trade fits into the broader picture of international relations, how can creative producers operate and pursue targeted projects, what are the support mechanisms and what are the required skills that would lead to successful outcomes?
This practical seminar will explore these questions by providing examples from Australia, and discussing real world case studies. Participants are encouraged to engage in the training through self-reflection; some short home activities are to be undertaken prior to the seminar.

For many being ‘digital’ is second nature, while nature and history are becoming more and more distant from daily life. To bridge past, present and future, public institutions, such as museums, are looking for novel ways to engage audiences with cultural heritage.
Media art practice enjoys a forty-year tradition upon which artists, curators and art professionals draw upon for knowledge and inspiration. Artists working with digital technology often think locally and are informed globally. They collaborate across geographies, historical timelines and disciplines, taking genuine risks to push the boundaries of art practice, often while looking at bringing the past to live.
This seminar will provide an overview of how different sectors of the creative industries link up. It will discuss the role media artists and creative producers have played in transforming the way we think about and engage with artifacts.

In today’s post-industrial culture there is now a generation of creatives who do not know life without computers, social networking and telecommunications. For such artists being ‘digital’ is second nature.
Media art practice enjoys a forty-year history upon which the newer generations of artists, curators and museum managers can draw upon for knowledge and inspiration. Artists working with digital technology often think locally and are informed globally. They collaborate across geographies, historical timelines and disciplines, taking genuine risks to push the boundaries of art practice into the future.
This presentation will discuss the role media artists have played in transforming the way we think about and engage with art. It discusses a range of distinct media art practices that are challenging and transforming timeworn ideas about exhibiting art within a museum context. It explores new opportunities for curatorial practice, including the exhibition of networked and participatory ways of engaging the public with digital art. It draws on examples and curatorial experiences from across the globe as well as Taiwan.

The staging of exhibitions that crossover such complex terrains presents myriad challenges for the curator and the art institution. Unlike the scientific display of artifacts, which purpose is primarily illustrative or informative, the Art+Science exhibition is intended to get us thinking about the broader social contexts of the science. Fact and fiction, method and means, tools and materials collide. How do we make sense of it all for the broader public?
