The 4th Taipei Digital Art Festival, with a theme of 'funky light' will open Nov. 6 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei with a performance of light and sound 'mapping' by the Taipei National University of Art.

According to a statement from the festival organizers, the art festival's 'funky light' theme is 'an attempt to probe the illusion and nature of technology and civilization.'
