It integrates dozens of art villages and art spaces across Taiwan and holds regular meetings every year across Taiwan to discuss the position and role of artists in residence (AiR) in contemporary art through an annual series of meetings and lectures. TASA was to serve as a platform for the exchange and integration of resources among artists in residence (AiR) and art spaces throughout Taiwan.

The art group ‘Hyper Wave’ began with artists selected by the Ministry of Culture’s 2020 ‘MIT’ project. The name originates from the mutation and uncertainty of contemporary art\, positioning themselves as artistic ronin. They place the characteristics of contemporary art creation within environments to engage in artistic dialogues. \nSupported by: \nMinistry of Culture \nMinistry of Foreign Affairs \nNational Culture and Arts Foundation \n
