數位藝術於現在已不是個陌生詞彙，它更是凸顯科技時代所演化的新生活模式。日常生活中一些便利的微小科技一旦成為創作元素，都可讓藝術更貼近生活經驗，喚起大眾的共識，原創性的動畫更是如此。台灣從七○年代動畫代工角色至今轉變成為具有原創性的動畫大國，整個動畫界逐漸改變型態，將牽動著台灣動畫教育。
    過去台灣統一性的教育無形中扼殺了學生許多的創意和想像力。為了增添台灣藝術圈、設計業界或文化相關產業新血，培育具有創意的動畫人才，一直是本校多媒體設計系的教育目標之一，本校多媒體設計系旨在培養學生具有數位內容應用之設計能力，敏銳地觀察週遭環境的能力，並能關注藝術在數位時代的持續發展，在技與術兼具之下，孕育新一代的藝術家、設計師或文化人。
    在本校多媒體設計系林育弘主任的策劃下，本校首次和台北數位藝術中心合作協辦KINETOSCOPE－活影活現動畫展，期能讓有志於數位藝術發展的業界人士或學生透過此展覽，更瞭解未來動畫產業的發展方向，或是各種小型工作室的創作機會等。為了結合產學界的多元面向，在本校所舉辦的「國際偶動畫研習營」也特別邀請日本動畫師比嘉兄弟、法國動畫導演Karim Tubez和產業人士擔任演講人，透過論壇、研習營或工作坊，與業界大師相互切磋，讓與會人士與學生的美學視野和專業，有所精進。

Foreword by President of Chihlee Institute of Technology

 Digital art is no more a strange term and it punctuates a new living model evaluated with technology era. In our daily life, once convenient and micro technology become creation elements, art will be closer to our living experience and the public awareness will also be improved. This also applies to animation film creation. Since the 1980s, Taiwan gradually transformed itself from an OEM maker to original animation creator and the gradual changes of the whole industry also led animation education in Taiwan.
    In the past, Taiwan’s uniform education system killed creativity and imagination. Cultivating creative animation talents for the art circle, design industry or culture related industry has long been the education goal of the Department of Multimedia Design of the Institute which aims to equip students with the design ability to apply digital contents, to observe the surrounding environment, and to care for the continuous development of art in digital era, the next generation artists, designers, or cultural workers with technology and art literacy.
    Planned by Director of the Department of Multimedia Design of the Institute, Mr. Yu-Hong Lin, we, for the first time, cooperate with Digital Art Center, Taipei to organize KINETOSCOPE for the participation of talents and students interested in art development, the understanding of future development of animation industry, or provision of creation opportunities for small scale studios. In order to facilitate diversified academic and industrial cooperation, the Institute also organizes the “Workshop” and invites Higa Brothers from Japan, French animation director, Karim Tubez, and industrial leaders to be presenters. Through forum, workshop, or study session, participants are able to learn from these gurus and that will definitely benefit their aesthetic vision and profession.
