2008年的8月下旬沸沸揚揚舉辦的台北國際藝術博覽會、接連著九月上旬隆重登場的台北雙年展，都讓今年夏天的藝術圈，延燒活力熱鬧的氣氛。在這樣的背景之下，也趣藝廊也預計推出一連串帶狀性的新媒體展覽，同步舉辦熱鬧非凡的「2008數位藝術祭」，以「夏日節慶」的觀念，跨越藝術與生活的隔閡，廣大邀請更多愛好者跟民眾一同參與。
8/1-8/17郭慧禪2008年個展──光線寫作
剛結束受紐約策展人Eric Shiner之邀，參與2008亞洲當代藝術週的展出，郭慧禪的作品在國內外都備受注目與好評，因此本次藝術祭將以她2008的首度個展「光線寫作」，揭開序幕。郭慧禪作品的外觀乍看之下予人帶有陰鬱氣質的超現實感，然而藉由探討本體存在的問題，又令作品的內涵飽富人文主義思想的溫度。她的動畫作品，運用3D的虛擬空間，以幾何的形象象徵內在世界，並企圖整合創作概念與圖像媒材。
攝影(photography)這個字原意為「光之書寫」--將物體所反射的光線使感光物質曝光的過程。此次的作品中，延伸光線寫作的概念，將光影的描繪拓展至物體和個人心境，反映生活在都市中失序及焦慮，藉由找尋生命光點及回憶的片段，建構與累積個體存在的價值與方向。
Taiwan’s art season blossoms in 2008 with the Taipei Art Festival in late August and the Taipei Biennial in early September. To coincide with these international events, Aki Gallery is proud to announce a series of dramatic new media programs: The 2008 Digital Art Festival that features new media work by three diverse artists: Hui-Chan Kuo, Wan-Jen Chen and Guan-Ming Lin. Each artist’s works will help you see the world in new ways.
The main concept of the festival is to break the barrier between art and life, and to lead you into an exciting and innovative experience. When the computer becomes the tool for creating, will the rational logicality and the comprehensive abilities of the technology override the artist’s aesthetic and instinctual decision-making processes? In other words, does computer technology create an art that differs from traditionally-based artmaking?
8/2-8/17 Drawing with Light -- Hui-Chan Kuo Solo Exhibition 2008
Hui-chan Kuo’s solo exhibition “Drawing with Light” leads the first of the trilogy of artworks for the 2008 Digital Art Festival. Kuo will exhibit images and 3D work that combines painting and photography created from 2006 to 2008 and which uses geometric figures in virtual space to symbolize the inner world. At first glance, her imagery seems surreal with a touch of melancholia, but upon further examination Kuo’s warm humanistic concept that focuses on the pursuit of existence shines through.
The word "photography" originally means “drawing with light” in ancient Greek and it represents the process of capturing light on a light-sensitive medium. The intention of her new work extends the idea “drawing with light” to view it as a metaphor that art records physical subjects or personal mental states and then reflects upon the disorder and anxiety found in urban living. The images try to structure one’s values by looking for some meaningful segments of life and memory.
“Every single crystal of a snowflake is different,” Kuo had coincidentally discovered while researching the properties of water. She tried to simulate the well-shaped snowflake crystal by processing a 3D model based on a downloaded image.
In her series Camouflage 2005, the focus is on the relationship between people and their environment. Kuo transformed the real life situations of individual and group interaction into her art.
