The Way Forward

The 2022 Taoyuan Art x Technology Festival is themed "The Way Forward," announcing the crossover between technology and art and showcasing the creative energy of tech art both domestically and internationally. This year marks the first time the festival is co-hosted with the Ministry of Culture, bringing together numerous tech art creative teams. During the preparation phase, the organizers visited various industries across different fields, and through understanding and enthusiastic support from these industries, they were able to jointly complete the related exhibition activities. Looking towards the future, the path of comprehensive development in technology, art, industry, and policy is one that cannot be halted.

This year's Festival responds to the global trends in the post-pandemic era, such as "digitalization," "decentralization," and "emphasis on sustainable development." It combines outdoor immersive audio-visual experimental spaces to showcase 5G streaming immersive audio-visual works, exploring important topics like edge computing, circular economy, NFTs, the metaverse, and digital discourse power. Through tech art exhibitions, performances, expert lectures, and workshops, the festival is designed to offer a brand-new audio-visual and immersive experience, inviting the public to participate and experience the future life sparked by the crossover of technology and art.
