自2003年至今，籌備6年，亞洲第一座數位藝術中心—「台北數位藝術中心」，於6月28日正式開館營運。台北數位藝術中心除了舉辦常態性成果展出之外，另一主要機制為「創意整合實驗室」，作為藝術家與科技產業合作實驗的場所，以此建立實務研發分享的運作模式。「創意整合實驗室」年度計畫之一為發展高畫質影像，除此之外，另外也設置了「SD攝影棚」，作為數位藝術教育與推廣。計劃邀請專家學者來做數位藝術相關議題的論壇節目，不但在現場有觀眾可以參與，並可將影音檔上傳讓未能到現場的民眾也能夠在網路上點選觀看與數位藝術相關的精采內容，分享數位藝術的創意。未來預計「SD攝影棚」成為一個論壇空間，並且也是一個虛擬的演講廳，透過網路社群將影響力擴大並持續傳播。

“SD”為標準畫質影片的規格，與目前一般電視公司所提供的畫面規格相近，特色是結構雖然簡單，卻可以做出即時錄製與線上串流檔案供瀏覽。台北數位藝術中心選用SD規格是因教育推廣功能須以效能為重點，所以決定以標準畫質設置攝影棚配合網路社群。結合網路相關討論，開幕特展期間便安排了多場「網路社群」主題的創作論壇，日後在網路上皆可看到這些精采的內容。此外，今年邁入第四屆的台北數位藝術獎也包含網路社群的領域。
結合今年發展影像的主題，除了SD標準化質的節目錄製，此攝影棚仍可以做一般非線性的作品拍攝場地。6月28日開館當日，台北市市長郝龍斌、台北市文化局局長李永萍、前文化局局長廖咸浩、台北市議員林奕華等貴賓親臨現場見證攝影棚正式啟用，為攝影棚測試功能錄下第一段影像。

「SD攝影棚」為今年「創意整合實驗室」專案計畫中的首項成果，為擴大「SD攝影棚」的效益，台北數位藝術中心將開放此空間對外租用，提供相關工作團隊使用，以及藝術家進行創作，讓「數位藝術」持續的進駐及發生。一直以來，台北數位藝術中心積極推廣台灣的數位藝術，「SD攝影棚」只是個開端，「創意整合實驗室」的數位科技與人文藝術合一的理念正一步步的付諸實踐。

After 6 years of preparation from 2003, the first digital art center in Asia— “Taipei Digital Art Center (DAC)” was officially opened to the public on June 28. The DAC features art exhibitions on a regular basis, along with the “Creative Club Lab (C.C.Lab)” as another key mechanism. It is a venue for artists and hi-tech industry to launch experimental collaborations, as well as establish a practical R&D sharing operation model. The H.D. image development serves as one of the annual programs of the “Creative Club Lab”, while the “SD Film Studio” is specifically set for the purpose of digital art education and promotion. Academics and experts will be invited to host digital art related symposiums of the DAC. Audiences are welcome to take part in the events, and for those who cannot show up, highlights of the events will also be available online. In the coming future, the “SD Film Studio” will be used as a symposium venue, and play the role as a virtual lecture room to spread ideas with the help of online communities.

“SD” is a standard format used in image making and film. It is very similar to the image format of the general broadcasting companies. SD is characterized by its simple structure, which is suitable for real-time recording and online streaming for file browsing. To meet the standard image format requirement for film studio and online communities, the SD format is especially selected by DAC as the key feature to enhance the efficiency of promotion and education. In line with the related online discussions, various creative forums with various topics are arranged for “online communities” during the time of the special opening exhibitions. The highlights of these forums are also available for viewing online.

In addition, the 4th Digital Art Festival, Taipei this year also comprises online communities. In response to the theme “image development“ for this year, apart from SD standard format for show recording, the film studio may be used as a general and informal venue for photography.

On June 28, the opening day of the DAC, Lung-bing Hau, Mayor of Taipei; Yong-ping Lee, Commissioner of Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government; Hsien-hao Liao, the former Commissioner of Department of Cultural Affairs; Yi-hua Lin, Taipei City Councilor and other distinguished guests personally attended the event and witnessed the official opening of film studio. To test the facilities of the film studio, all guests were filmed for the first video clip.

The “SD Film Studio” signifies the first achievement of C.C. Lab’s special annual programs. In order to enhance the effectiveness of the “SD Film Studio”, DAC decided to rent out space for private use, especially for related work groups or artists for art creations that enable “Digital Art” to continuously thrive and show its strong presence. The DAC has always been committed to promoting digital art in Taiwan. Since the “SD Film Studio” only marks a beginning, C.C.Lab will strive to live up to and fulfill the objective of integrating digital technology with art and culture.
