節目簡介
今年策展主題以媒體藝術出發探討藝術在社會上的角色，從而追蹤及尋找「真相」，並以此手段導向追尋烏托邦的精神。主題展請來不同國家的藝術家、科學家及科技人員合作。其中參展的台灣媒體藝術家陶亞倫，將展出其著名的虛擬實景之作《科技威權》和《徘徊的幽靈No.5》，作品中充滿濃厚的哲學性反思與辯証。
今年的Project Room 實驗L場展出四位台港兩地的創作人（台：方序中、吳仲倫，港：鄺佳玲、趙浩權）聯手合作的超媒體節目《生死牆》－以文學連動媒體一起說故事，把人文社會上重要的命題透過媒體平台發佈，遊走線上線下，讓觀眾穿梭於故事之中，思考生命的價值。

About the programme
In Microwave 2020, the curatorial direction will be focused on how media technologies and creations enhanced “investigation” of “new truth” in this post-truth era. Collaborating with Taiwan Arts Festival, media artist Tao Ya-lun is invited to present his VR installations “Technological Totalitarianism” and “Ubiquitous Ghosts No.5” in the main exhibition; his work brims with dialectical logic and philosophical reflection that are intended to provoke viewers’ thoughts.
For Project Room Exhibition, four creatives (Taiwan: Joe Fang , Wu Chung-lun; Hong Kong: Joel Kwong and Edward Chiu) will join force together producing a Transmedia Storytelling Project entitled “About Life & Death”-audience could experience an immersive online to offline journey through this installation.
