This will be the century of the city, nowhere more so than in East Asia where hundreds of millions of people now live in high density urban communities. Artists, architects and designers will play a significant role in shaping the quality of life in our cities. The UK and countries throughout East Asia have much to gain from sharing skills, ideas, resources and networks between these people.

Re-imagining the City is an audio-visual project which explores how artists are both influenced by, and can help shape cities. It aims to give artists a voice in how cities are planned and experienced and will address issues of creativity, community and connectivity, identity, planning and sustainability.

A collaborative, ongoing audio-visual work, produced by the London-based creative
unit, D-Fuse, together with local creatives in eight cities across East Asia. In Kaohsiung,

D-Fuse and local artists will film and record aspects of the city over five days before
performing the results live. Each city is therefore an exclusive event, growing as the
tour. Surface will have captured the essence of urban expansion on film and in sound
across the region in a unique and vital way.
