2025 LAB X The Young Artists' Atelier – Audio-Visual Art Program
Learning x Practice x Professional Communication
National Taichung Theater (NTT) focuses on exploring the collaborative possibilities between technology and performing arts, actively advancing innovative applications in interdisciplinary arts.
Since 2020, NTT has launched the LAB X Platform, fostering deeper collaboration between performing arts and technology. The Young Artists’ Atelier (referred to as the program) aims to nurture creative talent under the age of 30 on their artistic journey, providing opportunities and support for focused learning, exploration, and experimentation. The program emphasizes the importance of exploration, research, and critical thinking, encouraging creators to practice and validate their ideas within the program. The sixth edition, in collaboration with the TSMC Education and Culture Foundation, features creative works in Audio-Visual Art and Algorithmic Art.
The mentor of the 2025 Audio-Visual Art program is Escher TSAI, creative director of the Dimension Plus, while the mentors of the 2025 Algorithmic Art program include Cosima Terrasse, Hans Block, and Moritz Riesewieck from Laokoon. Through experience exchange, creative guidance, and hands-on research, young creators will be encouraged to cultivate visionary artistic perspectives, innovative thinking, and practical skills.
