The 21st century witnesses the close integration of technology into our quotidian existence, which is characterized by increasingly diversified environmental and ecological issues, humanistic critical thinking, technological industries and technical applications, along with a growing trend towards cross-industry and strategic alliances. Design and art undoubtedly play a crucial role in blending future technology into human life and fostering the symbiotic relationship between humanity and ecology. Against this background and harnessing the National Chiao Tung University’s strength in informational technology, the Institute of Applied Arts (IAA) was founded in 1992 and has kept abreast of modern developments to date. It is now underpinned by three pillars — industrial design, transdisciplinary art, and future technology — intended to explore the theories and applications in each field and meanwhile highlighting hands-on experience, idea exchange and fusion of theories.
Applying humanistic concern and artistic thinking, the IAA treats technology and design as its instruments, committing itself to theory construction and practical creation in the fields of transdisciplinary art, future technology and design. It also aims to incubate designers and artists by equipping them with comprehensive knowledge, a global vision, humanistic literacy, as well as a good command of media technology and artistic creation. Based on its concrete creative practice and solid theoretical foundation, the IAA further endeavors to promote its own development, position itself in the international context, build a harmonious learning environment, encourage exchange and enlightenment among different disciplines, and utilize future technology in transdisciplinary design and artistic practice, insofar as to create more thought-provoking opportunities.
