Department of Cultural Creativity and Digital Media Design, Lunghwa University of Science and Technology

Introduction

The theme of this year's exhibition is "Consciousness Reboot" which reflects the state of students in the current digital era. The rapid development of AI technology is redefining human society, with technology deeply embedded in the fields of design and cultural creativity. In this process of rebooting our consciousness, we must reexamine our position within this technological tide—not merely as users, but as creators. AI should be embraced as a partner in extending creativity, not as a tool that dominates human thought.

Cultural creativity is gaining momentum among the younger generation. Emerging designers excel at blending art with technology—from digital art and immersive metaverse exhibitions to AI-assisted creation—cultural innovation has broken through traditional boundaries and stepped into a new era of intelligence.

In this age of information explosion and technological transformation, we aim to inspire people through creative design to coexist harmoniously with AI, to strengthen inner empathy and social responsibility, and to build a more conscious and inclusive world.
