國立臺北藝術大學藝術與科技中心有感於跨領域科技藝術創作媒材日益多變，常態性專業團隊的培養與組成不易，因此發起「Linking LAB實驗室聯盟」，依不同的創作類型，連結國內外各領域的專業實驗室共同組成；於本案創作團隊中，包括有北藝大藝術與科技中心「超領域媒體實驗室」、「超通訊視覺實驗室」、北藝大劇場設計系「舞臺動力實驗室」、中央大學資訊工程系「多媒體資訊網路實驗室」等國內頂尖實驗室，另邀請多位科技藝術與劇場創作者共同完成，期望突破現下當代藝術與科技技術的界線，以完成具原創性與典範性的創新作品。
∣ 策劃製作
國立臺北藝術大學藝術與科技中心
國立臺北藝術大學於1992年成立全臺第一個「科技藝術研究中心」，為擴大研究發展範疇，於2006年更名為「藝術與科技中心」，扮演了臺灣在藝術與科技領域的開發整合，並與國際間多項聯結的重要角色。中心長年致力於科技藝術展演創新發展與前瞻技術研發，成功的帶領藝術家和工程師運用融和科技媒體，成為新時代的創作媒材，並開創許多跨領域整合成果。近年所完成之大型跨領域整合創作展演與研發計畫包括有：2013年科技媒體無人劇場《罪惡之城 Sin City》、2012年「超旅程-2012未來媒體藝術節」、2012年聲光藝術現場表演《拼貼風景 Train Fragments》、2010年「超未來-廣藝科技表演藝術節」、2010年製作原創科技表演劇場《萬有引力的下午 L’Après-midi de la Gravité》、2010年製作建築投影聲光藝術表演《天際線 Skyline》、…等。
∣ 實驗室聯盟
國立臺北藝術大學藝術與科技中心超領域媒體實驗室
由王俊傑教授創立主持，強調超媒體藝術時代的跨領域整合性，透過新介質、跨類科與前瞻藝術表現形式的相互滲透對話，探索具當代思考的新藝術語言，並進行實質 的研究與推廣平臺建立。研究領域包括高階影音技術在不同創作形式中的創新運用、整合劇場形態的科技表演藝術等。本實驗室同時作為臺北藝術大學各藝術專業領 域間的聯結平臺，透過各項創作計畫與研究專案，達到教學與實務並重的人才培育目的。
國立臺北藝術大學劇場設計系舞臺動力實驗室
由楊金源教授創立主持，
國立臺北藝術大學藝術與科技中心超通訊視覺實驗室
由孫士韋教授創立主持，
國立中央大學資訊工程學系多媒體資訊網路實驗室
由施國琛教授創立主持，研究領域包含多媒體技術，虛擬樂器設計以及數位學習等。在多媒體技術、視頻及圖像修復技術方面皆有特殊卓越貢獻且已分別於IEEE許多Transactions等級期刊上發表。數位學習的研究成果則大多發表於ACM Transactions等級期刊上。於西元2010年，實驗室成立了一個MINE虛擬樂隊，其著重眼於利用虛擬樂器於文藝演出上。虛擬樂器毋需表演者手持表演物即可進行，取而代之則以視頻傳感器技術來控制其MIDI音樂信號。
∣ Projection Development
Center foe Art and Technology, Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA)
The age of the integration of art and technology has arrived and it has become an important trend for contemporary culture. In keeping with this global trend, the Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) set up the first Research Center for Technological Art in Taiwan in 1992. In order to expand the scope of its research and development, it was renamed the Center for Art and Technology in 2006. It plays a major role in developing and integrating the fields of art and technology in Taiwan and establishing links with international institutions.
In addition to actively promoting the advanced research and application of digital technology in the art field in Taiwan, its main objectives are to support technological art exhibitions and events, establish links with other platforms and promote the research and creation of Taiwanese technological art. As an important feature of the TNUA, this center attempts to promote the comprehensive interdisciplinary development of the merging of art and technology and create new possibilities for a “future art”.
∣ Linking LAB
Trans-Disciplinary Media Lab, TNUA
We emphasize the integration of various disciplines in the age of trans-media art. Through the interpenetration of and dialogue between new media and various advanced forms of artistic expression, we explore a new artistic vocabulary that embodies contemporary thinking, and participate in international exhibitions and exchanges. Our research area includes the application of state-of-the-art visual and audio technology in different artistic forms and technological performing arts that integrate the different forms of theatre. At the same time, this lab serves as a platform linking the various artistic disciplines at the TNUA. Through art-making and research projects, it aims at training talent through teaching and practical work.
Stage Machine Lab, TNUA
Established by Eugene Yang , Stage Machine Lab is the only academic institute in Taiwan focusing on the study, design and fabrication of stage machinery. The Lab and its founder Yang have been anticipating many projects concerning the development of special and intricate theatrical devices in Taiwan. Here are some examples: Taipei Deaflympics 2009 as the technical director of flying system. Exhibition of Theo Jansen 2011 in Taiwan as technical director. Technical design of double revolves, multi-person and multi-axis flying system for Ping-Fong Acting Group and IfKids Theatre. Waterfall Power Chimney Theatre of Ten Drum as technical director. Emptied Memory as technical design (Best of the Interactive & New Media in World Stage Design 2013). Salome produced by NSO as the technical director(2014). Technical design for double automated giant LED rings in Songs Of Transience, Cheer Chen concert tour. Technical design for automated transformable LED strips screen in If, Hebe concert tour. Jiang Hui concert tour Farewell, technical design for designated stage mechanical devices.
Ultra-Communication Vision Lab, TNUA
We put emphasis on the application and the integration of communications technology and computer vision technology. We transform imperceptible random communication signals into a new visual interface, and strive to develop the application of the relevant technology of computer vision, pattern recognition and 3-D image processing. Based on the above-mentioned technology, the communication signals can be transformed into visible art works. Through long-term partnership with the Research Center for Information Technology Innovation (CITI) of the Academia Sinica and domestic research-oriented universities, we develop techniques and integrate systems to apply state-of-the art technology to new media art by working with collaborators from different disciplines, universities and research groups. The research results of interactive technologies are published in the flag international academic conferences, e.g., ACM SIGGRAPH (Asia), ACM Multimedia, and IEEE Intl. Conf. Multimedia Expo (ICME).
Multimedia Information Networking Lab, NCU
The Multimedia Information Networking Lab (MINE Lab) at NCU was established by Professor Timothy K. Shih. This lab has several interesting research directions including Multimedia Technologies, Virtual Musical Instrument Designs, and e-Learning. In multimedia technologies, video and image inpainting as well as special effect production contributions were published in many IEEE Transaction Journals. The e-Learning research results were mostly published in ACM Transactions. In 2010, the lab further established a MINE Virtual Band, which focuses on art performance by means of using a series of virtual musical instruments. Virtual instruments requires nothing to be carried on performer’s hands. Instead, video an sensor technologies were used to control MIDI signals.
