Richard Feinman’s Residency Art Presentation
In late June 2023, Richard Feinman, the first international artist in residence for the year, arrived in Taiwan to begin a month-long residency at TESA Creative Center.. During this period, he created 13 artworks. His residency will culminate in a showcase event in July, which will combine an exhibition of his works with an open studio. Feinman will also be present to share his insights and experiences from his creative process and residency with the audience.

Harrison Hall Residency Art Presentation
Harrison Hall, along with his collaborator, Dr. Sam McGilp (an Australian media artist), is embarking on a new project. This work will explore post-human narratives and the intricate processes involved in experiencing and constructing physical form.
They are particularly interested in coming to TESA (Taiwan's Experimental Sculpture Association) because of its proximity to nature and its rich history in sculpture. Their new work draws inspiration from experiences in organic natural environments, with the human body envisioned as clay, shaped and molded throughout the performance process.
Their creation is imagined as a durational performance involving two people—one performer and one technician—completing a series of complex digital and physical tasks that impact the body. During their residency, they will engage in 3D modeling, motion capture, 3D animation, and choreography. In October, Australian artists Harrison Hall and Sam McGilp are invited to participate in the L Project, an immersive media theater and audiovisual performance event, as part of the 18th Digital Art Festival organized by the Taipei Digital Art Center.
