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.
