藝術與遊戲如何產生連結，也許會被令外界困惑。但曾畢業於科技藝術相關領域的 Lukas 卻認為，遊戲與藝術間是能夠彼此激發、相互轉化的媒介之一。遊戲具備高度互動性，將能更直接將藝術作品從傳統的空間推至大眾的日常之中。

交流過程中，本校博所管林益仁教授表示，若未來涉及田野調查或人文脈絡等內容，博館所或可探討合作的空間，為遊戲鋪上更深層的寓意。動畫學系趙瞬文教授亦對該系所表達高度興趣，帶領外賓參觀動畫系教學空間之餘，雙方也就學生交流、課程合作等方向交換意見，期盼未來能持續保持聯繫，逐步深化合作的可能性。國際事務處國際合作組楊育睿組長亦表示樂見其成，期待兩校未來能建立更具體交流模式。

適逢第三屆北藝新媒卓越獎《未竟之黑》作品展期，我們特別安排外賓前往藝科中心觀展，進一步了解本校學生在新媒體藝術與科技藝術創作上的成果。本校新媒系三年級李承諺同學為本次展場的工作人員之一，為外賓以全英語進行導覽及作品解說，其表現非常值得肯定。透過清楚的介紹，外賓不僅能深入理解作品的創作理念，相信也對本校學生的語言能力及藝術創作表現留下深刻印象。

此次來訪不僅促進本校與荷蘭莎格森應用科技大學之間的相互認識，也展現本校在藝術及科技方面的發展才能。我們相信若未來雙方能進一步結合遊戲、動畫與人文等相關領域，將有助於開展更多元的國際合作模式，並為本校師生創造更多實踐性的交流機會。

Saxion University of Applied Sciences from the Netherlands visited TNUA on April 13 and April 22. The visits were jointly hosted by the Graduate Institute of Museum Studies, the Department of Animation, and the Office of International Affairs.
