As a result of the pandemic, 2020 saw the devastation of countless industries worldwide. During these challenging times, arts institutions have been brainstorming possible solutions – how should the arts industry cope with the drastic changes to global socio-economic conditions creatively?
\n\n
Since 2015 Weiwuying has been running international symposiums, making dialogues between Arts, Life and Civic Society. This year, in conjunction with the Federation for Asian Cultural Promotion (FACP) Annual Conference, Weiwuying's International Symposium on “the Arts Industry in the Post-Pandemic Era” reflects the responses from the arts industry towards the challenges and impact of the pandemic, discusses the potential transformation of arts and culture under the digital era, and the flexibility to swiftly act on a risk society.

“Future Artists in the Post-Pandemic Era”
\n\n
Arts has the mission to foresee future. At a time of global crisis, with their reflections on social relationships, survival and liberty, what impacts would have been made to the aesthetics of the artists? Weiwuying collaborates with FACP members, including artistic directors of major festivals and venues, to call for pitching of experimental project ideas that respond to the pandemic, and to inspire the public to speculate our possible future. Join us and be in the (online) room where the idea happens.

“Hello, it's DJ QuestionMark (YING Chi-shuan). We're gonna spend the moment together before my show, then let's go on the stage together.”
\n\n
It's a cyber-immersive theatre experience, a first-person game, a live streaming and a post-COVID production. The “viewers” are part of the show and requested to interact with each other and the performer in the chat room. Through live streaming, everybody will be switched between different spaces, characters and views. As you might wish, you are able to peep into the private moment before the performer stepping on the stage, or explore the backstage you will possibly never have the access to. Even “jump” in the other artist’s personal view.
\n\n
At the end of the journey, you will be taken to the stage, perform, then finish the “show” together.
\n\n
\n\n

Choreographer, dancer and curator all-in-one, Weiwuying Artist-in-Residence CHOU Shu-yi has been exploring relationships between human bodies and the city.

Weiwuying International Symposium
\n\n
Following the inevitable slow-down due to the pandemic, the Weiwuying International Symposium in 2020 discusses the Role of Arts under the precautions of “avoiding contact” and “social distancing”. With the subthemes of “Experience” between arts and the public, “Making” by the artists and practitioners and “Ideas” of reflection by arts institutions, the Symposium in Kaohsiung brings us to the melting points between the arts and the contemporary society, provoking exchanges in both the physical and the virtual worlds.
