Features of the Cultural Content Community

Our community specializes in the knowledge development and practical production of Digital Cultural Content and Audio-Visual Networks, encompassing: Design, Technology, and Management. We provide integrated research, teaching, services, and exchange functions for digital cultural content production, website construction, online communities, interactive media databases, and knowledge management. Our teaching achievements are showcased on the "College Youth Web Magazine".
The definition of Digital Cultural Content developed by this community extends beyond conventional forms such as text, images, animation, video, and online interaction, to also include Digital Music and Digital Television.

•Digital Music (MIDI) Special Zone: Offers rare domestic resources for teaching, research, and service.
•NTU Digital Music Lab: Provides more opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.
•Digital Television Project: This project involves industry-academia collaboration both domestically and internationally, and is currently the only program in higher education in Taiwan dedicated to cultivating talent in this specific field.

Digital Cultural Content Design

Emphasizes the empirical validation of "Knowledge Aesthetics" and the experiential engagement with "Digital Aesthetics." This approach demonstrates that beyond subjective perception, the beauty of visual and auditory experiences can be connected to scientific knowledge and quantitative methodologies.

Digital Cultural Content Technology

Proposes the concept of "Process Engineering" to facilitate learning and creation based on "Tool Independence." This means selecting digital software tools according to the compositional requirements of the content, rather than being limited by any single software.

Digital Cultural Content Management

Focuses on practical learning through a "Problem-Solving Oriented" approach, encouraging project-based "Collaborative Work Models," and providing online tools for planning, division of labor, and management.

Definition, Development, and Internationalization of Cultural Content

Cultural content creation broadly refers to various forms of cultural and artistic creation. However, today it typically denotes "Digital Cultural Content," distinguishing it from traditional creative media.

Defining Digital Cultural Content: The "Structure" Definition

The "Structure" definition of Digital Cultural Content involves integrating, designing, producing, and managing cultural and creative works using digital technology. It defines the creative tools and resulting outputs based on: senses, media materials, and media platforms.

•Visual Sensory Media Materials: Digital visual design, text and digital publishing, imagery (including digital art and graphics, digital photography, image processing), digital animation, digital video micro-films.
•Auditory Sensory Media Materials: Digital music, digital audio.
•Media Platforms: E-books, online cultural content and optimized websites, cross-platform mobile devices, television projects, digital interaction, home digital centers, public digital facilities, and non-media (e.g., glasses, gloves, refrigerators, etc.).
This "Structure" definition simultaneously encompasses Digital Aesthetics and Digital Cultural Content Management.

Defining Digital Cultural Content: The "Context" Definition

The "Context" definition of Digital Cultural Content originates from the new interdisciplinary field combining "Information and Communication." Its nomenclature has evolved multiple times. Early terms included "Information and Communication (C&C)" or "Multimedia." Internationally, there was a later reflection that the term "Media" itself implies multiplicity, making "Multi" seem redundant. Thus, the term reverted to "Digital Media," but with a richer connotation: "Flat + Audio-Visual + Interactive Media."
Since the production process of "Digital Media" involves two distinct parts—tool production and content production—and to emphasize the content rather than the tools, the terminology shifted to "Digital Content." In recent years, to further highlight the industrial and economic value and status of "Digital Content," the term evolved into "Digital Cultural Content."
A more stable definition might be: Digital Cultural Content is a convergence of "Digital Technology + New Media + New Creation + New Services + More New Possibilities," forming a new interdisciplinary concept, new works, new industries, and new lifestyles.

Digital Cultural Content Industry

From the alliance between Microsoft and NBC and the merger of AOL and Warner at the end of the last century, to the rise of AI and even AI assistants in recent years, it is evident that Digital Cultural Content is an interdisciplinary industry. Taiwan's entry into the "Digital Television" era in 2014 further reflects the emergence of more innovative services and media forms in digital cultural content. However, in terms of penetration, mobile phones are trending towards becoming the dominant hardware carrier.

Digital Cultural Content is the most future-oriented, market-valuable, and human-resource-intensive direction.
Due to the future potential of "Digital Cultural Content" and its possible role in the macroeconomy, the nation initiated the "Asia-Pacific Media Center" plan in 1995. This concept was fundamentally modeled after the "Ten Major Construction Projects," but unfortunately, due to changes in domestic and international political, economic, technological, communication, and educational conditions, the plan never gained traction. The current public policy for the "Digital Cultural Content" industry appears to be more slogan-driven, with substantive content remaining ambiguous.

Internationalization of Digital Cultural Content

The development of Digital Cultural Content is inevitably moving towards internationalization.

Professor Tung-Hsiung Wu's Digital Cultural Content community has long organized and promoted cross-departmental, cross-university, and cross-national borderless collaborative production projects, involving students from over 20 countries and regions. Therefore, bilingual lecture notes, practical teaching materials, and achievement displays are specifically provided.

Cai Tian Shi Community (Color Stone Community)

Cai Tian Shi (彩天石), or Color Stone Community, is the material used by Nüwa to mend the heavens in traditional Chinese science fiction thought. Under her skillful hands, she constructed the cosmos as a stage for time and space, wove the magnificent tapestry of the Milky Way, and inspired humanity's boundless imagination.
