The first "Taipei Digital Art Festival" is scheduled to have its grand opening from Nov. 10th to 19th. This event has invited many foreign artists to participate, including the award winner of Golden Nica in Austria, Paul DeMarinis. He will come to Taiwan to demonstrate his work of "Rain Dance." Once people hold their umbrellas, they can hear beautiful music. Another guest, Theo Jansen, is from the Netherlands. His works have been very popular in Europe in recent years. He uses computer to simulate the bone structures of creatures and makes them into huge but light works. The internationally famous choreographer Ku Ming-shen and British stage master Thomas Gray have planned for three years and they will present the dance program "Memory Puzzle." This dance program will be included in this festival. In addition, this festival includes four new awards like "interactive equipment" "digital sound and image," "art of sounds" and "Internet art." The purpose is to provide more space and opportunities for digital artists in Taiwan to present their works.                                Website : http://www.dac.tw/daf06/
