The visit can be traced back to a video conference held in December 2022, where HKAPA expressed a keen interest in our CSAAR and sought further opportunities for collaboration. The representatives from both institutions introduced the respective developments of their sound centers and schools during the conference and explored future collaborations and opportunities in the fields of sound, multimedia and technology arts. Professor Chao and Professor Tseng accompanied the esteemed guests on a tour of our ambisonic sound space and sound studio in CSAAR, as well as the technology art theater in the Innovation Center for Art and Technology (ICAT), showcasing our research and results in the field of sound and technology arts.
In the afternoon, there was an academic exchange between the faculty of both institutions. Mr. Tse presented the performance achievements of the Department of Media Design and Technology. He mentioned that the school organizes an annual Sunset Concert, where students take the lead in organizing everything from stage lighting and sound installations to visual designs, photography, and band selection. Furthermore, he shared several interdisciplinary collaborative works with different artistic groups. During the meeting, representatives from both institutions engaged in inspiring discussions and reached a preliminary consensus on reciprocal visits and exchanges, joint performance of student works.
