🚩 New Media Artist Hsin-Chien Huang Leads "Garden Taipei/Formosa: Taiwan Grand Tour" with 22 Taiwan's VR and New Media Artworks to 2021 Ars Electronica Linz in Austria🇦🇹
2021 ARS ELECTRONICA FESTIVAL Ars Electronica has chosen “A New Digital Deal” as its annual theme, centering around the social and cultural transformations under the influence of technology from different countries. Also, it pays attention to changes of “the New Normal” due to the pandemic.
Hsin-Chien Huang, this year’s curator of the “Garden Taipei/Formosa”, resonates the theme with the “Taiwan Grand Tour”, hoping to waken our desire and ability to move freely during the journey via different kinds of media, also make more people see the marvelous results and how hard Taiwan has devoted to technology, culture, tradition, and tradition via international digital platforms. The tour will have become a window between the world and Taiwan.
The scale of this year’s exhibitions has been brought up a notch. Not only did it carry on displaying the VR and AR productions from last year, but the curator Hsin-Chien Huang has collaborated with three other, Hsiao-Yue Tsao, Billy Chang, and Chung-Hsien Chen, to call out many VR directors, new media artists, start-up companies and government institutions to join the project. There are 22 magnificent programs in total, which will be shown in categories such as “Immersive Tour”, “Animated Tour”, “New Media Tour”, “Earth Tour” and “Action Tour” respectively.
“Immersive Tour”, as the first part of the “Taiwan Grand Tour”, viewers can wander among the mountains, oceans, and rivers in the digital world, even outer space! Six scenes inspired by unique Taiwanese landscapes with cultural and biological features will be shared with the audiences, such as “The Starry Sand Beach” (Directed by Hsin-Chien Huang and Nina Barbier), “Moondream Reality-Rebirth”(Directed by Chi-Yen Chiang, Ami Wu), the shuttle VR 360 stereo video of “TAIPOWER D/S ONE.” (Directed by Ghung-I Hung and Shih-Chou Wen), “Floating Childhoods” (Directed by Hakka Public Communication Foundation and Wen-Chieh Chang), “Blue Tears EP1” (Directed by Hsiao-Yue Tsao), and “Samsara” (Directed by Hsin-Chien Huang).
In the “Animated Tour”, viewers can devote themselves to the characters via different programs. Whether it is the abstract or figurative visual style, audiences can experience anxiety and frustration all the way to happiness and growth. Getting rid of this disappointing reality, viewers shall continue the “Taiwan Grand Tour” through their imagination. This program consists of four animations: "Go Go Giwas: Sowing Dream Seeds"(Directed by Vick Wang, Yi-Feng Kao), "My grandmother is an Egg"(Directed by Wu-Ching Chang),"Inside"(Directed by Yu-Ting Hsueh), and "The Wayward Kite"(Directed by Yu-Ting Hsueh).
In the “New Media Tour” program, nine brilliant pieces created by Taiwanese artists will be shared as the relay points for the “Taiwan Grand Tour.” They use video, sound, electronic music, installation, and various new media to explore different topics, such as family, memory, city, society, landscape, and environment. We firmly believe that digital tools can also capture the warmth and emotions in reality. This program consists of nine artworks: "Surrounding Spectrum"(Directed by Hsiu-Ming Wu), "Nanyang Express II : Eternal Wandering and Tropical Pursuing"(Directed by Yi-Chi Lin), "Wave Waves"(Directed by Sio-Pang Hong), "That ・ This"(Directed by Ching-Chuan Hu), "Signal"(Directed by Chin-Hsiang Hu), "Tower of Babel by the sea"(Directed by Wei-Chung Feng), "How to explain love to an iPhone"(Directed by Jie-Huai Yang), "U+617E_v2.∞"(Directed by Jia-Hua Zhan), and "Absence in Presence"(Directed by Ning Tsai).
In the program “Earth Tour”, viewers will participate in a performance art called “Taste Soil”, which intends to rethink the relationship between humans and land by means of “eating.” The program brings together international eminent chefs Andre Chiang, dancer Billy Chang, new media artist Hsin-Chien Huang and Wen-Chieh Chang, fusing Taiwan’s unique traditions and customs with cuisines and dance performances via VR experience. A feast to the eyes and tastebuds awaits.
Looking back at the present time, humans need to take more efficient scientific actions in the digital world to reduce the consumption and pressure of resources and the environment and cope with the impact in the post-pandemic times. Two important technology units in Taiwan make their debut in the “Action Tour”: Miniwiz Co., Ltd. and the Taipei Urban Intelligence Center. The former is devoted to the sustainable development of materials science with digital technology and design, while the latter is the integration of big data and streaming technology to create a new technical model of urban governance. Combing these two, an answer to developing a sustainable society with digital energy is born. During the tour, a new performance art project is inspired by the digital cross-field cooperation for the first time. The Taipei Urban Intelligence Center will join hands with new media artist Chin-Hsiang Hu and the founder of Inwheel Ghung-I Hung, to create a new media artwork “The Weight of Data” by integrating both virtual and physical materials from different domains and sharing data resources.
The brilliant curatorial concept and lineup of the Taiwan Grand Tour have attracted the interest of the officials of the festival and been in the limelight. Therefore, the festival has invited three creators behind the “Earth Tour”: Andre Chiang, Billy Chang, and Hsin-Chien Huang, to an online interview called “Highlight Channel” at 18:00 on September 1 (Taiwan Time). The link will be provided by the official later on. Moreover, Miniwiz Co., Ltd. and the Taipei Urban Intelligence Center are also invited to share their ideas and experiences in an online show called “Home Delivery.”
The theme of the Garden Taipei/ Formosa is presented in a diverse form of performances by combining different fields multiply. The audience can easily follow the step of the “Taiwan Grand Tour” to explore Taiwan’s magnificent local digital creativity and illustrate a new digital landscape unitedly that only belongs to Taiwan.

The Last Dance 導演訪談隨筆 (ep1&2 part 1 微雷)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdxJ7XjQSMg
在 The Last Dance播出之後,幾乎整個美國的體育節目跟社群每天都在談裡面講了什麼,拍了什麼片段,大家都出來講跟 MJ有關的各種軼事或回憶。在這邊特別跟小人物分享這段 ESPN在一二集播出後由 Jalen Rose 跟 David Jacoby主持的 Jalen & Jacoby show。他們在播出看完後立刻訪問了 Jason Hehir, 就是 The Last Dance的導演(也同時是 The Fab Five,密西根五虎紀錄片的導演)。
J&J: 「第一次跟 Michael Jordan見面談論這個紀錄片是怎麼樣的經驗?」
H: 「我本來要去健身房,結果接到了MJ經紀人的電話説他現在想在市區見面跟我喝一杯聊一聊。我在去的路上一路上都在想說跟 MJ喝一杯我到底要點什麼。後來當天晚上我跟我哥聊到這件事情的時候,講到跟 MJ碰面就好像跟聖誕老人見面一樣。你知道這個人,你看過在照片裡的這個人,但是從來沒有想過會真的碰到這個人。
MJ 本人非常的有魅力馬上就讓我覺得相處起來很自在,我們大概聊了15、20分鐘之後。我問了 MJ為什麼想要繼續這個紀錄片? MJ回答說他並不想,因為對於這個紀錄片要談的主題原本外界就有很多誤解了,然後這個紀錄片的素材又非常的不經修飾。MJ擔心人們在不理解脈絡的情況下過度解讀渲染這些素材。我跟MJ解釋說,所以這部紀錄片的目標就是給人們脈絡,給人們來龍去脈,用這樣的方式讓人們理解你為什麼是你。接著我們聊到了 MJ的名人堂演講,我說了:『我覺得很多人誤解了你的演說。』MJ聽了之後把身子往我探過來,用手指著我說:『你是唯一懂我當時在說什麼的人。』MJ接著說,當時只有 Pat Railey理解他的演說其實是想要稱讚這些激勵過他的對象,但是都沒有什麼人了解。接下來他對我的問題幾乎都有問必答。」
J&J: 「所以你到底點了什麼?」
H: 「Jameson on the rock.」
Jason Hehir 接著談到了關於 The Last Dance的敘事安排。The Last Dance的主軸是環繞著 97-98公牛三連霸的最後一個球季所拍的紀錄片,紀錄片團隊想要透過在這一年中從休賽季開始到最後拿到冠軍,順著時間軸發生的種種事件跟其中的關鍵人物,去回朔介紹這些球員、教練跟經理是怎麼從80年代一路從無到有,經過了什麼事件,埋下了什麼關係,建立了六冠兩個三連霸的公牛王朝,又在公牛王朝之中扮演了什麼角色。以大綱來說第一集快速的介紹公牛王朝給觀眾跟對比那個時代跟現代的不同,然後帶出 MJ的成長史、好勝的性格跟 MJ從大學到公牛頭幾年的困境。第二集回到了97-98季前休賽季 Scottie Pippen受傷不開刀,拖到賽季才開刀然後休養不出賽來跟管理階層對抗要求被交易帶給公牛的影響,帶出了 Scottie Pippen的成長過程。接下來的集數也會以相同的手法帶出對 MJ或這隻公牛隊跟這個球季重要的人物與事件。
而對於另外一個在整部紀錄片,在整個公牛王朝,跟97-98球季都一路扮演重要角色的 Jerry Krause(公牛隊當時的GM),Jason Hehir 表示 Jerry Krause 在整個過程中幾乎都站在 MJ的對立面,因此讓他成為了一個壞人,但是隨著紀錄片的播出,Jerry Krause會得到在公牛王朝的建立中應得的功勞。整個公牛王朝,除了 MJ本人以外,其他的球員教練都是 Jerry Krause透過選秀交易得到的,所以 Jason Hehir也稱 Jerry是公牛王朝的建築師(architect)。Jalen Rose 以一個曾經對抗過公牛,又在 2000年初透過 Jerry Krause交易到公牛的前球員的角色,表示說他覺得 Jerry Krause很可惜的是沒有辦法接受幕後的角色,沒有辦法讓這支偉大的球隊在教練是 Phil Jackson的時候,心無旁騖的把這些偉大的表現持續地留在場上。不管是堅決不續約 Phil Jackson導致 MJ退休,在後期不給 Scottie Pippe值得他身價的合約。同時Jalen Rose也指出在商言商的公牛老闆 Jerry Reinsdorf其實也是王朝瓦解的幫兇之一。
當然事後甚至當年來看 97-98年之後,MJ、Pippen跟 Rodman都邁向生涯後期,球隊管理階層想要透過種種方式重建重組是合理的。但是 Jerry Krause強勢不妥協、格格不入的想要走進鎂光燈的經營態度跟 Jerry Reinsdorf在商言商的態度,應該真的跟史上最好勝的 MJ還有史上最無法控制的教練 Phil Jackson所帶出來的公牛隊格格不入吧。而這也帶出了一個跟現代 NBA生態的對比,就是 player empowerment。在由 LeBron James 「taking my talent to the South Beach」所帶起的 player empowerment之前,NBA球員就算你地位再重要,身價再高,在跟管理階層對抗時都非常的艱難,球員之間也沒有聯合的力量去影響交易、影響自由市場。球員流動性低某方面間接的化為了所謂球員對球隊的忠誠,跟不同球隊球員之間的 rivalry敵對文化(rivalry 文化的消失跟 AAU 還有社群媒體有更深的連結),這些敵對文化讓老球迷們津津樂道,也增添看球的情緒與張力,但是當然也是勞資不平衡。
目前這篇其實只大概分享翻譯跟閒談了整個訪談的前三分之一,後面 Jason Hehir還有繼續談到關於這些紀錄片的種種,如果沒有時間看訪談影片的小人物們,還會有 part 2繼續寫下去喔!
