Sharing this wonderful time @soar55 performing live visuals with Dutch cellist Diederik van Dijk for TaiwanFest at the Vancouver Art Gallery, very honoured to remix Sammy‘s father @chienartstudio 50 years of painting in new media art form, with Bach music and an improve live electronics set. Thank you Irwin again for curating us, very meaningful to be back to VJ for you again returning to your support at the start of Sammy’s VJ career since 2008. This is layers of intergenerational and transnational collab. Thank you everyone for all the love in such a down to earth family friendly event. 很開心我能在溫哥華台灣節表演美術館北廣場結合我爸爸簡志雄老師50多年的畫,分享臨場影像,搭配荷蘭裔大提琴手的現場巴哈古典樂,以及我們一起即興的聲響表演。
