In 2020, the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab (C-LAB) established the Technology Media Platform which emphasizes innovative media experimentation and social connections. Its purpose is to construct a cultural and technological experimental platform based on cross-disciplinary collaboration, co-creation, and coordination by integrating Taiwan’s cultural and technological resources. The FUTURE VISION LAB project, initiated by the Technology Media Platform, explores the visual limits of technology media. With sound and image algorithms, creative works, and the integration of hardware and software, an attempt is made to outline a cross-disciplinary vision for the enhancement of visual effects.
Based on the concept of digital architecture, a dome measuring 12 meters in diameter and 6 meters in height was constructed with the Graduate Institute of Architecture at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University for FUTURE VISION LAB in 2020. To create a fully immersive experiential dome space involves multiple complicated techniques, such as warping, edge blending, mapping, play control, and video production. Through technology, FUTURE VISION LAB presents fully immersive audiovisual experiences.
This year, FUTURE VISION LAB 2021 includes fourteen performances and one lecture, with international and local artists creating immersive cross-disciplinary audiovisual performances especially for this dome. In addition, there are eight emerging new media artists’ works selected via an open call process, a joint presentation hosted by students from the Department of New Media Art at Taipei National University of the Arts and the Department of Communications Design at Shih Chien University, and stargazing workshops that are suited to families. Through collaborations, FUTURE VISION LAB presents a diversity of performances and visual experiences to the public.
