The show case of "LOOP ME" integrates lighting, sound, images and dance, with no focus on any one style of performance , opening up new possibilities of digital art performance. In today's quest for 'cross border' artistic innovation, true integration involves the four above-mentioned styles, each becoming the main style in the performance. During the process, through the differing styles of sound, images and dance, the three artists employing different techniques must communicate and collaborate. This is not only a challenge but also an avenue for the artists to work as one creative team, and in the process, learn to appreciate one another's line of thought and technique Wed 10/5 Movie: “The Man Behind the Book” Time: 19:00-21:30 Location: Theater of College of Communication Language: Chinese Subtitled: English This film follows Wang Wen-xin, a prominent literary figure, through his travails in founding the literary magazine “Modern Literature.” Wed 10/12 Movie: Chou Meng “The Coming of Tulku” Time: 19:00-21:30 Location: Theater of College of Communication Language: Chinese Subtitled: English The coming of Tulku cites the anecdotes of Buddhist classics, referring to a whole life time by the allusion of one day in the life of Chou Meng-tieh.

Does the thought of attending the exhibition arouse images of entering a white space or the endless waiting queue? In fact, many cities across the world have embarked on a cultural transformation, integrating the unique characteristics of culture and the city, creating a new dimension of cultured city. Creative art enriches the public space, providing a visual feast as far as the eye can see, increasing the depth and breadth of inter-relationship within the society, transforming the city into one exhibition hall of refreshing energy. From the Very Fun Park seen around in the walkways and alleys, to the organized display in the community events, we may perceive how artists and exhibition organizers have challenged the public's realm of vision and imagination through modern art. Creative art no longer stays in the art museums or galleries to be explored and discovered, but has stepped out proactively to join the embrace of the public
