Night,Light    4Chih-Wen Lo
Night encroached by light presents an air of mystique and tenderness. Interplay of abstract shapes of lights and shadows (presented through movements of human body) presents the abstruse and treacherous temper of the night.

Peeking…    Chun-Yi Li、Szu-Hsuan Li
We do not know whether there is another world outside; maybe the creatures on the other side are so much larger than human beings. Or maybe there is no light or colors, and maybe our world exists in a dark and close space. And maybe there is a unknown world peeping at us right at this moment…

The lively Funkcy Light Celebration - A Mysterious Incident    Fanny
After the searchlight spotted,
Funky Radishes are holding the festival of the day – “Digital Art Festival Taipei 2009.”
Suddenly, all the radishes are falling down!
What’s happened in the end?

Exchange    Chao-Yen Chu
In modern society, people sometimes return to a primitive way of trading, that is, trade by bargaining. So long as the values of the trades are agreed upon by both parties, anything can be exchanged, and people always wish to exchange their things for something of higher value. This work tackles issues in morals, environment, and ecology to interpret the concept of a “Bargain”. It is an attempt to express the phenomenon where people trade off their things on many occasions without being aware of it. This work intends to bring audiences to take an inventory of the things they have traded off and the values they have gained. The over-exposed background implies a trade in between different times and spaces.

Extend Of The Funky Light    Yi-Feng Lin
The term “Funky Light” came from “The Book of Wu” meaning strange and exotic phenomena. This work creates visual effects in grandeur and tackles the subject through the sci-fi concept of time travel. Realistic images designed in the Chinese mythology styles accentuate the theme of “funky light”.

Continuity of thoughts conveys the funky stories of ancient Chinese mythology through the concepts of lights and shadows and time and space. Through advanced CG technology, the artist(s) created the bizarre phenomena presented in the ancient Chinese mythology and conveys the images to the audiences on the product of the most advanced technology, Taipei Screen, which creates a sharp contrast between the scenarios and the environment.

The artist(s) takes the special specifications of the Taipei Screen into part of the design and makes an attempt to create an air of grandeur through the arrangement of the moving lines. The images draw from close range to the far background, from left to right, to create a continuous visual and emotional perception. The layout of real and virtual spaces features images of the classical styles with a touch of modern glamour to convey the message and theme of the Digital Art Festival Taipei 2009.

Continuing from the expected effect, this work is an attempt to create a funky and cool effect that will seize the eyes of the public, and the effect of proliferation is expected to convey the message and theme of the Taipei Digital Art Festival 2009 to the masses. As an echo to the name of the artwork, a tone-shifting and bizarre combination of the western and oriental style achieves the strong and powerful visual presentation and brings out the theme of the 4th Digital Art Festival Taipei 2009- “Funky Light” invading the skies of Taipei (on the Taipei Screen).

Chaser       Shu-Kuang Lin
The Funky Light is not only an inspirable creative symbol, but a chaser. No matter what we are pursuing in the world, endless chasing indeed enhances beautiful living with colorful mind. And this spirit supposes to be a destiny for all chasers.
