節目簡介
「E.A.T.」是今年微波國際新媒體藝術節的策展主題，一字雙意，面對過去未來的「食」，是演出也是實驗，是回憶也是指向。2019年的藝術節以開放態度提出多個思考問題，透過主題展覽、硏討會、演出、衛星展等多項節目，全方位進行探討。
這次是藝術節首度與台灣月合作：台灣藝術家顧廣毅與香港設計師譚君妍合作，將於主題展覽展出〈新滿漢全席〉，融合華人傳統飲食文化和生物科技，想像未來食物；台灣導演瞿筱葳和黃邦銓將於衛星展覽「實驗K場」展出，以食物、回憶與家連結主題，透過短片與串連媒體作品，思考三者之間的關係，重構回憶以開展未來。

About the programme
The title of Microwave International New Media Arts Festival 2019 is "E.A.T. ", which has a double meaning: eat and Experiments in Art and Technology; it can be both past and future, performative and experimental in one, carrying memories. Taiwan Art Festival will collaborate with Microwave for the very first time, bringing Taiwanese artists to the main exhibition and the project room exhibition.
Artist Ku Kuang-yi will present "New Ultimate Imperial Feast" in the main exhibition with Hong Kong designer Adelaide Lala Tam, blending traditional Chinese cuisine and bio-technology to imagine future food; Directors Chiu Hsiao-wei and Huang Pang-chuan will present their film-based projects at the Project Room Exhibition to link food to the notions of home and memory.

Adelaide Lala Tam
Currently based in the Netherlands, Adelaide explores complexities within the food production system with an intention to unfold the stories behind it.
