We conceptualize &#8220;craft&#8221; through the lenses of strength, skill, force, energy, and power. Human craft encompasses not only artistic practice but also the techniques and capabilities that individuals and societies wield to manipulate surrounding environments. In this context, our exploration of human craft in the digital age adopts a bidirectional approach: one dimension examines how contemporary technologies and human craftsmanship in the digital age have reshaped our realities and our perceptions of governmentality, geopolitics, resource extraction, labor exploitation, and forced displacement. The other dimension involves artistic intervention, exploring the operational logic of digital governance observed in the field through various artistic mediums. We will showcase our findings through performance, video essays, photography, film, new media art, critical curation, etc. We aim to investigate how artistic interventions can meaningfully engage with these pressing issues to illuminate the nexus between technology and society, economy and environment.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Problem Statement and Research Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The project aims to explore the following research questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1. How have digital automation technologies driven by the chip industry accelerated capital expansion and automated operations, thereby transforming the logistics and infrastructure of production and supply chains?

In response to the challenges posed by advancements in digital technologies, what measures and interventions can humanities scholars and artists in the Asia-Paci\ufb01c region adopt to address these issues e\ufb00ectively? Beyond traditional academic writing, what alternative forms of knowledge and artistic expression can be created?

These explorations will inform the development of our project website, which will visually map the depth and interconnections of concept clusters, especially in relation to local or regional specificities. Multimedia elements such as podcasts, video essays, and documentary clips can also be linked to individual concepts. This stage is intended to reveal the complexity of conceptual relationships, including hierarchies, sub-concepts, derivatives, cross-linking, and context-sensitive representations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-1024x576.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55177 aligncenter size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/transit-asia.chss.nycu.edu.tw\/tarn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Critical-Reorientation-in-the-Age-of-Digital-Technology_\u9801\u9762_03-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243;
