「水墨藝術」與「詩作書法」皆為中國傳統悠久的歷史傳統，然而，藝術的轉型需要能量，而「科技」產業在此可以說是為藝術提供了一個新的方向。此次以藝術家黃光男的作品作為創作之發想，並藉由新媒體藝術作一呈現與轉化，呈現方式共分為二大主軸，一、當代水墨和文學；二、數位水墨與錄像，並結合上國立臺灣師範大學、國立台北科技大學、國立台灣藝術大學三校相關科系的專業挹注，更讓水墨影像得以創新，開發出更能帶給現代觀眾震撼與感動的視覺感受，藉以擴大水墨藝術和科技產業的專業知識轉化，使其成為相互激盪而成之兼具傳統與創新之展覽形態。

政府部門近年來對於文化創意產業的重視，美感教育、藝術涵養與人文價值的重要性開始在台灣引起話題與迴響，隨著文化經濟、美學經濟與美力時代的來臨，代表新的獲利契機。以人文的角度來看，台灣的社會形成類似布拉格的氛圍，藝術與音樂捶手可得。回頭反思，水墨藝術堪稱是華人文化藝術精髓，理應在這股文化與產業、藝術與科技、美學與創新的時代潮流中為大眾生活投注心力，我們藉由展覽與相關推廣活動，使水墨藝術與科技結合的新格局得以介紹與社會大眾。而黃光男校長的水墨藝術與詩作書法皆具有想像力，具備了豐富的人文內涵，可讓科技產品不單單只是滿足現代人的物質需求，更能進一步的滿足精神需求。透過結合當代科技的技術與產品，讓「水墨藝術」的東方氣質與媒材韻味，轉化為數位影像，為科技產業的提升帶來新的契機。此次展出藉由臺北數位藝術中心的專業呈現，讓傳統與現代的藝術語彙進行對話，創造一個屬於現代、過去和未來的對話場域，同時建立起台北市領航新媒體藝術的地位！

Ink painting art and poetry calligraphy are both of long history Chinese tradition.  However, the development and transformation of art require drive; and technology to a turn provides a new aspect for art creation.  The creation and exhibition were inspired by the works of artist Kuang-Nan Huang (currently President of the National Taiwan University of Arts).

This exhibition is composed of two main themes: 1. contemporary ink painting and literature; 2. digital ink painting and video imagery.  With the contributions of National Taiwan Normal University, National Taipei University of Technology and National Taiwan University of Arts, innovation of ink imagery art and a feast of art creation for the audience were made possible.  Moreover, ink painting art chimes with technology expertise into a harmonious exhibition of tradition and innovation.

In recent year, the government has put much emphasis on the cultural creative industry.  Aesthetics and art education, as well as culture values gradually gained much attention.  The era of culture economy, aesthetic economy and empowerment of aesthetics brings new opportunity.  With the culture heritage, Taiwan has advantages in creating artistic and musical atmosphere like that of Prague form the cultural point of view.  In retrospect, ink painting can be considered the essence of Chinese art.  It is indispensable that more efforts be put into culture creative industry.  It is our hope to introduce to the public, through this exhibition and related activities, the new aspect of art by wedding ink painting with technology.

The ink painting and calligraphy of President Kuang-Nan Huang both are full of imagination and depth.  Technology products not only can meet the material needs of modern people, it also can enrich our lives when applied in artistic creation.  The characteristics of oriental spirit and charm in the form of digital images bring in new life to technology industry.  The Digital Art Center Taipei presents this time, an artistic dialogue between traditional arts with modern technology.  By hosting this exhibition, Taipei city demonstrate its determination in leading the creation of artistic creation media.
