L.E.V. (Laboratorio de Electrónica Visual) continues to expand its international network of collaborations. Last October, the platform was invited to take part in the Future Art & Technology Salon, an international gathering held in Taipei and organised by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI).
The event aims to explore the connections between art, science and technology, while fostering new opportunities for exchange and collaboration between artists, cultural institutions and research centres. It provides an international platform for sharing ideas around contemporary creative practices and the possibilities that emerge from bringing different disciplines, research and technological innovation into dialogue.
As part of the programme, L.E.V. presented its platform and shared its track record and working approach alongside Marc Olivé from Mercat de les Flors and Akiko Takeshita from the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM). The event offered an opportunity to introduce the work L.E.V. has been developing over two decades, while exchanging experiences and perspectives with other cultural and creative practitioners from across the international scene.
The gathering also featured six Taiwanese artists and collectives: City Interactive Studio (城氏互動設計工作室), Chi Po-hao (紀柏豪), PrintedNoise Lab (噪音印製工作室), Chen Yun-ju (陳韻如), Hung Yu-hao (洪譽豪) and Sonic Deadhorse (鄭各均), whose practices explore different approaches to the intersection of art, technology and experimentation.
Taking part in the Future Art & Technology Salon marks another opportunity for L.E.V. to share its work on an international stage, build connections with other creative scenes and explore new possibilities for collaboration in the field of contemporary audiovisual creation. We’re leaving with fresh ideas, new connections and plenty of inspiration to keep exploring the possibilities when art and technology come together
