About reCONNECT Series

The genesis of reCONNECT, stemming from the imagination of literature and sound in 2020, aims to bring together literary figures, musicians, and new media artists from Taiwan and around the world to create an international production. To craft not merely from the technological perspective, but what we are facing and experiencing in this moment, thus emerged the creative development project of reCONNECT. In addition to the original creative intention, Dimension Plus has been continuously contemplating the reconnection of vintage media in the process of technological art development. It aims to bridge different generations and diverse fields. In the face of the development trajectory of human technology and art, there are unique perspectives and artistic forms across generations. However, the core values are closely linked. Thus, we pay homage to the exploration of our predecessors, maintain interdisciplinary collaborative communication, and continue the dialogue across regions and generations.

So we began reCONNECT Nam June Paik, Roy Ascott, Mario Costa. reCONNECT Taiwan,Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, United Kingdom. reCONNECT writers, musicians, producers,musicians, dancers, singers, engineers, artists. An infinite reCONNECT of creation.

reCONNECT is a re-creating concept to re-link the development of art and technology. The writer, singer, musician, and new media artist from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan bring about the new interdisciplinary performance “reCONNECT.” The artists adopt a conceptual stage, where tangible and intangible elements converge at different levels, and reconnect to the history of art and technology through the concept of Karesansui (Japanese rock garden).  Summer Lei, Keith Lam, and Ei Wada present a live cross-disciplinary performance with their unique singing voice, home appliance instruments, light architecture, and stage design, guiding the audience through reality and virtuality to experience the sensual fantasy brought about by media connections.
