In 2024, Ars Electronica collaborates with the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) to jointly organize the TAICCA x Ars Electronica Art Thinking program. The aim is to support creative makers with training and mentoring in developing a prototype of an immersive experience, performance or installation.
In the dynamic landscape of creative art and tech, this program seeks to empower creative makers by introducing different tools of art thinking. This active switch of perspectives enables exploring new potentialities. Through an open call, participants were invited to submit their proposals, leading to an intense Art Thinking Workshop in Taipei. Following this, one winning project was selected for further refinement, culminating in presentations at prestigious events such as the Ars Electronica Festival and TAICCA’s Taiwan Creative Content Fest.
