| 摘要: | 申請單位受行政院國家科學委員會科學教育發展處委託，自95年開始舉辦「李國鼎科技與人文藝術獎」（簡稱「K.T.科藝獎」），各界反應熱烈，歷屆得獎作品獲評審高度肯定，除發揮原先預期藝術與科技結合的效果外，亦展現台灣在此方面活動的能量，各大專研究所及業界更視其為一重要指標。為擴大數位創意活動之能量，擬延長本案之時限由一年半改為三年，我們將累積數屆活動經驗為基礎，分期舉辦第六、七、八屆K.T.科藝獎之競賽。我們擬議此屆競賽將有兩大特色，第一，本案擬延續前屆在台北市政府主辦之「台北數位藝術節」活動平台上展現：台北數位藝術節為一行銷平台，其辦理方式為精選優秀的活動企劃，從事共同的展現。過去幾屆此數位藝術節包含四大主軸活動：台北數位藝術獎、國際邀請展、數位藝術表演與創作論壇，「K.T.科藝獎」在第三屆活動中，首次加入成為台北數位藝術節的活動主軸之一，成果輝煌，不但在台北當代藝術館展開為期兩個月的展覽，累計參觀人數更多達三萬五千多人次；而今年學校團體與外籍人士更是不計其數，假日期間則另有專家導覽為一般社會大眾解說科技與藝術結合之奧妙( 參見附件一 )。開幕當日，李國鼎科技發展基金會萬其超秘書長、故資政李國鼎先生之子李永昌先生亦親臨會場，體驗科學技術落實在人文藝術領域，擴充科普教育之涵義，電子與平面媒體爭相報導(參見附件二)。若本案 (第六、七、八屆「K.T.科藝獎」 ) 獲得通過，將有利於推動科技與人文藝術之結合，落實科學技術於人文藝術領域，足以展現科普教育之涵義，提升我國相關創意活動的能量，同時紀念李故資政國鼎先生一生提倡科技建設與提升人文素養之志業；新一屆的「台北數位藝術節」係台北市政府主辦，由台北數位藝術中心承辦，除了本國藝術界人士參與外，尚有國際邀請展，過去兩年(98－99年)即有不少國外知名的數位藝術家來台參加 ( 參見附件三) ；若「K.T.科藝獎」能再次於該平台上展現，更能發揮互利互惠的最大成效。本次申請案之第二特色為科普人才培育。本申請案中，擬針對互動科技藝術、數位遊戲、電腦動畫三大領域辦理工作坊及研習營，邀請業界專業講師及K.T.科技獎得主，共同分享其專業經驗及創作理念，使民眾與年輕學子能深入了解科技藝術，培育未來科技藝術人才。依據前幾屆累積的經驗來看，每年提繳申請案與K.T.巡迴宣傳說明會的時間相近，預期心理往往導致活動措手不及，為了避免此窘境，今年擬提出為期三年之申請案，較以往有更充裕的時間做好充分準備活動的宣傳與前置作業。本計畫工作項目可分為四個階段。第一階段主要工作為第六屆K.T.科藝獎之巡迴演講及作品收件，第二階段為頒發獲獎各組的得獎者獎牌與獎金，並使其作品能於「台北數位藝術節」之場地展出。第三階段我們將舉行「K.T.科藝論壇」，邀請競賽獲獎的團隊參加，並廣邀國內外專研於「知識經濟」與「數位內容」領域的專家及業者前來指導，讓雙方分享各自投入知識內容產業，以及參加國外科技藝術研討會及展覽的經驗，以進一步推廣科普教育的精神，促進產學交流與合作；同時將在各校園不定期舉辦「K.T.科藝座談會」，以為下屆之競賽活動宣傳暖身。在第四階段，開始下屆之作品收件，同時爲了使有志於朝數位科技內容發展者有機會吸取國際經驗，將安排電腦動畫、互動科技藝術、數位遊戲工作坊與研習營，由邀請業界專業講師指導，並請K.T.科藝獎得主分享經驗，以推廣科藝藝術及增進K.T科藝獎的能見度。It has been our privilege since 2006 to have hosted the Kuo-Ting Lee Technology and Humanities Awards (popularly known as the “K.T. Digital Arts Awards”) sponsored by the Science Education Development Section of the National Science Council, Executive Yuan. The activity has been evinced by outstanding public participation and the highest levels of praise from the jurors for the numerous world-class submissions, which have not only ensured the event achieving its original objectives of illustrating the superlative results of the synergistic application of science and technology in the arts, but has served as a veritable wellsprings of Taiwan’s considerable creative talents, and as a key focal point among our universities for their competitive spirit to advance the state of the art. As a harbinger of the tremendous potential for the hidden energies of our creative impulses, we hope to build on this initiative’s initial successes to extend the project from one and a half years to a full three- year duration, so that we can further deploy the positive results to the 6th, 7th and 8th K.T. Digital Arts Awards competitions. For the next competition we plan to emphasize two objectives in particular; first, continuing the successful hosting of the event in conjunction with the “Taipei Digital Arts Festival”. This activity serves as an important practical marketing platform which selects the most outstanding event proposals for cooperative production.The previous years’ Digital Arts Festivals have included such activities as the Taipei Digital Arts Awards, an invitation-only International Exhibition, Digital Arts Performance and Creative Forum, and the premiere of the K.T. Digital Arts Award in the third annual Festival. These activities not only yielded an impressive two-month exhibition at the Taipei Museum of Contemporary Arts, attracting more than 35,000 visitors; but also proved alluring to numerous student groups and international guests through the weekend on-site docent efforts for the public providing appealing explanations of the many intriguing applications of technology in the digital arts (see Appendix I). On the day of the event opening, it was our pleasure to have hosted the Secretary General (Executive Director) of the Kuo-Ting Lee Technology Development Foundation, Mr. Chichao Wan, as well as a personal appearance by the son of the late Senior Counselor to the President Kuo-Ting Lee, Mr. Yung-Chang Lee, to join us in celebrating this unprecedented exploration of the ingenius and inspired applications of technology in the arts and culture, as means of furthering scientific education and discovery, and achieving substantial digital and print media exposure (see Appendix II). Thus, if this project is approved (for conduct of the 6th, 7th and 8th “K.T. Digital Arts Awards”), we expect that this will substantially advance our promotion of the synergistic diffusion of technology in the arts and humanities, imbuing the widest spectrum of the arts with the latest high-technologies, fully evincing the significance of widespread adoption of technologically advanced science education, distilling our inherently unbounded domestic innovation potential, while serving as a profoundly appropriate living memorial to the key achievements of former Presidential Counselor Mr. Kuo-Ting Lee’s lifetime dedication to advancing technology and inculcating the finest cultured values and dedication. With the upcoming “Taipei Digital Arts Festival” to be sponsored by the Taipei City government, and hosted by the Taipei Digital Arts Center, we can rightly expect that not only will there be widespread domestic and international participation, but that the invitation-only International Exhibition will heighten interest, as over the past two years (2009-2010) it has enjoyed involvement from numerous world renown digital artists (see Appendix III); so jointly hosting the “K.T. Digital Arts Awards” once again in conjunction with this important global creative forum can ensure optimal synergies. The second critical focus of this project involves promotion of the development of top notch science and technology professionals. To achieve these objectives we are emphasizing the three major areas of interactive digital arts, digital edutainment and electronic games, and animation for the conduct of workshops and seminars during the events. These initiatives will involve concomitant participation from specially invited industry experts with cutting edge expertise along with the K.T. Digital Arts Award winners, providing an intimate forum for exchanging hands on knowledge and creative concepts, to inspire the public and persuade young digital artisans to better appreciate the broad landscape of technological applications in the digital arts, helping to further broaden the horizons for the next generation of innovative artists and scientists. From the accumulation of wisdom and experience over the previous years’ awards, we have found that the submission of our proposal for continued support have been timed to coincide with the extensive media outreach we conduct to promote the K.T. Digital Arts Awards events, resulting in exacerbated stresses to our project team. So we are hoping this year to help overcome this by receiving funding for a three-year extension, allowing us the much needed breath of encouragement to ensure the additional inspiration required for successfully expanding the event’s promotional reach and pre-event planning for maximal results. Our project work will be deployed in four phases. The first phase involves successfully hosting the 6th K.T. Digital Arts Awards’ roving seminar series and collection of submissions for the competition, followed by the second phase where the juries sit to evaluate the submissions for the awards and prize funds, with the winning entries appearing on display at the Taipei Digital Arts Festival. The third phase involves our hosting the “K.T. Digital Arts Forum” with all the competition winners enjoying group invitations to participate, along with leading domestic and international academic and industry experts specializing in the “knowledge economy” and “digital contents” fields to provide guidance through mutual sharing of their contributions to the digital content field as well as participation in international digital arts conferences, symposia and exhibits, to provide further concrete advancement to the spirit of universal scientific education through academic-industry collaboration and cooperative education activities. In the fourth phase, we begin to collect submissions for the next competition, while also working to ensure opportunities for those interested in engaging in the latest applications and digital breakthroughs to the arts to acquire global exposure and experience, through arranging animation, interactive digital arts and digital edutainment/e-games workshops and seminars, with instruction from leading industry and academic experts, to achieve maximum visibility and optimal outreach for the promotion of the digital arts field and the growing prestige of the K.T. Digital Arts Awards. 研究期間：10006 ~ 10105 |
