We are what we see

Thanks to the digital era and the rapid advancement of technologies, the mediums available to modern artists are not limited to canvas on an easel. Instead, they utilize video, sound, electronic music, installation, and various new media to explore different issues, such as family, memory, city, society, landscape, and environment. Hence, in the “New Media Tour” program, nine brilliant pieces created by Taiwanese artists will be shared as the relay points for the “Formosa Grand Tour.” We firmly believe that digital tools can also capture warmth and emotions in reality. A link for a time-limited viewing and the introduction of the artists will be available.
