Nightmarket workshops: art & science in action

During the past three years in Taiwan, we organized a series of Nightmarket Workshops to investigate Taiwanese sociocultural phenomena, and to provide cross-disciplinary environments for college students and practitioners to create interactive art pieces. In this process, we were intrigued by how the collaboration of art and science in the context of the nightmarket can deeply engage people in participatory ways of designing, demonstrating, and exhibiting. We present a 10-minute documentary film to illustrate the experience in which we see art and science in action.
