(Central News Agency reporter Tseng Yi-hsuan, Paris, 6th, special report) Taiwanese director Chen Hsin-Yi attended a professional forum organized by the Chaillot Théâtre national de la Danse in Paris, sharing her XR (Extended Reality) creative experience. A Canadian arts and culture panelist praised the achievements of Taiwan-Canada collaboration and their rich creative ecosystems.
The "Chaillot Augmenté x Rencontre TMNlab: Performing Arts and Digital Environments" professional forum was held on the 5th and 6th at the Chaillot Théâtre national de la Danse and TMNlab (Digital Theater Lab) in Paris.
With the support of the Taiwan Cultural Center in Paris, Chen Hsin-Yi attended with her award-winning work "The Cloud in Two Thousand Meters" and participated in two lectures yesterday.
In one of the lectures, she conversed with Myriam Achard, Head of New Media Partnerships at PHI, an arts and culture organization in Quebec, Canada, exploring the possibilities arising from the interaction of different ecosystems in Taiwan and Canada.
Chen Hsin-Yi stated that Taiwan has many systems supporting creation, for example, her work "Traces for the Future" received support from the Kaohsiung Film Archive, "The Man Who Couldn't Leave" explored how to use new technologies with the National Human Rights Museum under the support of the Ministry of Culture, and "The Cloud in Two Thousand Meters" was a Public Television Service (PTS) project; additionally, in the accumulation of her works, she also received international funding.
She said that this demonstrates that Taiwan has been able to go so far in exploring new technologies due to strong support from various sources, including the government.
From her first work, Chen Hsin-Yi has considered exhibition possibilities beyond VR (Virtual Reality). She once combined the changing daylight and live performance at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in Korea to create an unforgettable experience for the audience; she also used spatial design in a museum to allow the audience, after watching "The Man Who Couldn't Leave" (a work on the White Terror), to then see the last letters written by actual victims to their families, extending the VR experience beyond the viewing.
Achard recalled the immersive unit of the 2022 Venice Film Festival. At that time, there were not many 360-degree panoramic VR works, and in her opinion, Taiwan performed best. Finally, "The Man Who Couldn't Leave" also won the Best Immersive Experience Award. At that time, she believed that "something was happening in Taiwan, and we wanted to participate in it," which led to PHI's Taiwan Focus exhibition project, which was also very successful.
She said: "I truly believe that the ecosystems of Taiwan, Quebec, and France are very rich, brewing many exciting results and creating incredible works."
In another lecture, Chen Hsin-Yi discussed the artistic potential of XR-related technologies with director and playwright Isis Fahmy, designer and musician Benoît Renaudin, director Frédéric Deslias, and writer Joséphine Derobe. (Editor: Wei Shu) 1150506
