Minister of Culture Lee Yung-te began his statement by thanking and affirming NTMoFA's and the curatorial team's commitment to producing a new type of art show by merging lighting, technology, and art. At the same time, they've established a vital platform for young and foreign artists to exhibit their work and engage with one another, according to Lee.
The 2022 Taiwan International Light Festival's theme is "Play and Playing- Light and Shadow," and it aims to immerse the audience's senses in the digitally created world of light and shadow, allowing them to engage in the graceful ambiance where light and shadow are harmoniously combined.

The upcoming exhibition will feature artists from Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and France, according to NTMoFA. The exhibition, which features ten performative installations and showcases "light" in three dimensions – "Light and Shadow Theater," "Lightscape Stage," and "Light Travel Interface" – re-defines the roles of subject and object in performance and constructs the audience's exhibition viewing behavior and sensory experience in "viewing" and "interaction."
As a result, the audience is transformed from "someone who intervenes through witnessing and involvement" into "the indispensable subject in the works" by the exhibition.
