Academia Sinica Center for Digital Cultures has responded to the International Museum Day for three consecutive years. Using the "Open Museum" as a platform, it has joined hands with the Chinese Association of Museum for three times, calling on domestic collection institutions to participate in the grand event and start the "digital" demonstration.

 

With the theme of "Connecting the World" this year (2022), the Academia Sinica Center for Digital Cultures will connect 73 domestic and foreign institutions and individual collectors, including the British Museum and Academia Sinica, and select more than 500 collections Create a demonstration experience, so that the public can watch as they choose, and they can also conduct digital explorations following various connections between collections, breaking the boundaries between regions and libraries, and creating a pioneering work in the domestic museum industry.

 

Liao Junzhi, President of Academia Sinica, said that the challenges brought by the new crown epidemic to the world are coming one after another. In addition to striving to fight the virus with scientific research, Academia Sinica is also actively responding to the current digital trends and the needs of the global art and literature industry, and expanding social understanding through the development and application of emerging media.

 

In recent years, the "Open Museum" has been promoting digital transformation side by side with domestic collection agencies. Now it is trying to create a mechanism to connect collections from all over the world, promote Taiwan's integration with international standards, and show greater intentions and patterns. Once the public enters the "Connecting the World" event page, they can follow the clues of different collection content themes, such as "dressing", "beauty", "bathing", and even "the works of the author's friend". The paintings collected more than 1,000 years ago are connected with the landscape paintings, sculptures, and even films of modern Taiwanese artists collected by many cultural institutions in Taiwan, showing the span of time, geography and collection types.
