How to boost creative industries in Taiwan? Re-organise workforce as the first step...

台灣真的有在推動文創產業嗎？我不相信....

因為文創產業根本不佔求職網站的任何一個行業別。

Creative! What?! : Light. Scape Taipei

V&A是我挺喜歡的一間美術館，他除了每週五會舉辦“免費“的Friday Evening室內樂演奏之外，另一個令我欣賞的就是針對青少年(11~19歲)的藝術推廣專案，尤其是"這鍋“— Creative!Live. 原本啊，這個V&A主要放的都是一些死人骨頭(master / ancient pieces from Asia to Europe)，也因此這項每週六為青少年舉辦的推廣專案格外令我感興趣，因為，它推廣的藝術類型是數位藝術。（今天在fb看到宏賢好棒地接受孫正華的專訪介紹數位藝術，也代表這幾年微型樂園耕耘數位藝術的一項里程碑）

V&A Creative!Live推廣型式包括課程、工作坊、活動，地點就在它們家的Digital Studio，裡面還有最新的大蘋果(Apple Macs)。最吸引我的，就是這鍋Special Free Drop-in event，有音樂、影片、短短的工作坊、還可以跟設計師、藝術家、VJ面對面，分享數位藝術創作過程，整個就像過去舉辦CC party活動的感覺，好不熱鬧。

這些專案，最引人入勝的地方在於藝術、空間、與人間的互動，Friday Evening邀請音樂系的學生或畢業新星，在一間富麗堂皇的房間( Norfolk House Music Room)演奏，Creative!開闢空間讓數位藝術家與閱聽眾面對面的機會，這些總總，讓藝術環境像是一池活水，V&A也不全像British Museum一樣淨放些從外國掠奪來的藝術品，成功地讓空氣流通了起來。

無獨有偶的，發現這次與微型宏賢合作的UnitedVisualArtist，其作品2006年11月在V&A中庭花園展示過一回，那些bling bling閃亮的燈柱，這回將在台北縣民廣場呈現，「Light. Scape」我好想去啊～

Creative People

Don t know why, since being here people I met mostly are in creative industries, like architect, hair designer, film editing, documtntary shooting and etc. Is it because people who live in London all work in creaitve field or just coincidence ?

I quote one paragraph from book "the creative economy" describing of creative people which I like very much.

Creative people start from within themselves and must be true to themselves; their chief task is to manage their own intellectual assets. They must be persistent, even when the public don t recognize their talent. As a result they often become deeply, passionately involved in their work, whether they are full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid. They transfer life from their minds to their work; their job is to believe and to imagine. They acquire a sixth sense for what "work" in their medium or field; for what they want to work.

I hope you could be a director as your wish one day.

Should we stab all bad guys?! or could we....

Since we live in a century in which copying is only going to get easier, should we stab all bad guys? furthermore, could we?! It’s the 21st century, humans are brilliant, we may be able to find a way out to keep everything in balance and spend a little time on thinking this interesting question simultaneously: is your art for the 21st century?

Sharing @ Chia-Hsing Ho & Hui-Chan Kuo Solo Exhibition 2007

After few years of participating into Creative Commons local promotion, some of my sentiments are finally being got together. It's like moving from a penthouse to a super highway.

friends' talk：Chia-Hsing Ho & Hui-Chan Kuo Solo Exhibition 2007

Artists who attempt trying something new and different from they are accustomed to, such as digital materials, are actually deserved to praise and admire. This week, I am invited by Hui-Chan and Chia-Hsing, two studious creators who happened to be that kind of artists, to introduce Creative Commons. Plus have a cozy chat with participants.
