In 2005 Tsai An-chih’s Taiwan Sound Project was selected for grant support under the National Culture and Arts Foundation’s inaugural “Technology Arts Creation and Presentation Project” and participated in the touring exhibition Sci-Glow · Sound-Play. The Taiwan Sound Project undertook a systematic, island-wide sound collection, selecting eighty to one hundred fixed sites across Taiwan for their regional specificity and organising them thematically, tracing local cultural perspectives and issues to connect with topics in nature, environment, economics, society, and the humanities. Using a creative approach emphasising “concrete sound,” and employing spatial audio systems such as Ambisonics, the project rebuilt and constructed a true three-dimensional sound environment — inviting participants to interact with listening stations and sound objects, placed in a listening room that conveyed a genuine sense of three-dimensional space, rekindling their attentiveness to the sonic environment.
