“Looking at the development of Taiwan’s digital art from the perspective of spatial evolution — In the Case of ET@T”

ET@T was established in 1995 and was the first new media artist group in Taiwan. This group takes Taiwanese local avant-garde art and technology and culture as its main development direction. It has responded to the trend of cultural development and technological progress in the past 25 years; therefore, it has derived various spatial strategies in different time periods. The history of ET@T can be used to understand the context of Taiwanese digital art development in modern times. The space operation strategies and the practical changes of the organization will be discussed in the talk.
