我們發現藝術是極具能量的文明產物。

在人類的城市生活中，藝術展示於純白寧靜的美術館被瀏覽著，有些人被愉悅、有些人被激發，然而這個場域像夢境，離走後漸漸忘卻一切美好，繼續水泥叢林的繁忙之中找尋慰藉。對於這個異象，變動所所員們皆深感惋惜、對藝術的歉疚在腦海裡徘徊不去。

我們亟欲追求藝術力量的最大效應值，決定於2015年開始一場計畫，以「速度」——這個世代的核心思維為研究宗旨，以「藝術能不能跳脫美術館的空間限制」為研究主題，希望使其以行動直接介入城市的街牆磚瓦中、與人群面對面碰撞交錯彼此的語彙。

邀請到我們所內的藝術總監，以及物理學、人類行為學、心理學、文字學、科技知能、都市考究等等40餘位權威，大家團結合作在此計畫之下，共同釋出四大研究成果，安裝於我們的移動型實驗室「力學變動所」外牆，整裝待發奔走城市！美麗事物被觀看的模式及慾望於舊有形式中解放之後，我們相信，這一定能達成當今世代，對於藝術的多層次另類想像。

We realized that art is a powerful product of civilization. In the cities, art is displayed in the pure and tranquil galleries, allowing people to glance through. Some people are pleased and some people are inspired. However, this experience is like a dream, people gradually forget the peaceful moment they had with art after leaving. They continue living in the hustle and bustle of city life, searching for comfort. As members of the New Media Cruiser Institute, we feel regretful for this astonishing phenomenon and could not remove the guiltiness we have to art from our thoughts.

In order to pursue the most effective form of art, we decided to start a series of projects in 2015. Using 'Speed,' the core value of this generation, as the spirit of our research, we study the potential possibilities of art to exceed the limitation of being presented in the galleries. Could art emerge into the city walls through action? Could it face the crowds, get involved, or even communicate with the city?

We invited the art director of our institute and more than forty authorities from different fields to work as a group. With our collaboration, we will install four inventions on the wall of our moving-lab, the New Media Cruiser, and tour around Taipei city. The desire and the way of evaluating the beauty of art proceed as time passed by, we hope that our projects can inspire people's imagination of art.
