5 月 18 日國際博物館日視為博物館界重要的公共文化節點，國美館為 518 國際博物館日規劃系列活動，結合展覽、教育推廣與數位參與機制，博物館作為文化行動與社會連結平台的角色。 在此脈絡下，VR藝廊將展演《未來布袋戲劇場》，透過一件結合在地文化資產、數位互動媒介與沉浸式的作品，使觀眾藉由簡易的手部操作與感知重新接近臺灣傳統表演藝術。 May 18, International Museum Day, is regarded as an important public cultural occasion within the museum community. In celebration of International Museum Day 518, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts has organized a series of programs that integrate exhibitions, educational outreach, and digital participation, highlighting the museum’s role as a platform for cultural action and social connection. Within this context, the VR Gallery presents Theater of Puppetry, an immersive work that combines local cultural heritage, digital interactive media, and immersive technology. Through intuitive hand-based interaction and sensory engagement, audiences are invited to reconnect with Taiwan’s traditional puppet theater arts in a new way.

活動內容介紹
未來布袋戲劇場___傳統的靈魂 x 科技的想像 Theater of Puppetry__Tradtion Inspires, Technology Reimagined.
《未來布袋戲劇場》以 VR 與手勢操偶技術，將傳統布袋戲轉化為沉浸式互動體驗。作品結合虛擬實境、手勢辨識與即時操偶系統，讓觀眾以新的方式接觸並互動於臺灣布袋戲文化。
作品延續陽明交大布袋戲數位博物館的研究與數位典藏成果，將既有的文化研究基礎轉化為可供實際操作的互動形式。觀眾透過雙手操作虛擬戲偶，在參與過程中感受布袋戲角色動作、操偶邏輯與表演節奏，進一步建立對布袋戲文化的理解。
Theater of Future Puppetry transforms traditional Taiwanese glove puppetry into an immersive interactive experience through VR and gesture-controlled puppetry technology. By integrating virtual reality, gesture recognition, and real-time puppeteering systems, the work offers audiences a new way to engage with and experience Taiwanese glove puppetry culture.
The project extends the research and digital archival achievements of the NYCU Glove Puppetry Digital Museum, transforming existing cultural research into an interactive format that audiences can actively participate in. Through manipulating virtual puppets with their hands, visitors can experience the characters movement, puppeteering logic, and performance rhythm of glove puppetry, fostering a deeper understanding of its cultural significance.
策展理念 Curatorial Concept
以「傳統操偶的當代轉譯」為核心，強調布袋戲不只是可被觀看的表演內容，也是一套包含角色邏輯、身體技藝與文化記憶的複合型知識系統。 透過 VR 與手勢操偶機制，觀眾由單純的觀看者轉變為實際參與的操作者，得以透過身體動作感受布袋戲的操演方式，進而理解其美學與文化意義。
這樣的設計降低了大眾接觸傳統布袋戲的門檻，也使原本難以透過靜態展示完整傳達的操偶經驗，能夠透過沉浸式互動被重新理解。對博物館而言，此形式亦提供了一種結合數位科技、文化教育與觀眾參與的展演方法。
Centered on the idea of “contemporary reinterpretation of traditional puppetry,” the project emphasizes that glove puppetry is not merely a performance to be watched, but a complex knowledge system encompassing character logic, embodied techniques, and cultural memory.
Through VR and gesture-based puppeteering mechanisms, audiences shift from passive viewers to active participants. By engaging physically with the puppetry system, they are able to experience the operational methods of glove puppetry firsthand, gaining insight into its aesthetics and cultural meanings.
This approach lowers the barrier for the public to engage with traditional glove puppetry while enabling the intricate experience of puppeteering—often difficult to fully convey through static exhibitions—to be reinterpreted through immersive interaction. For museums, this format also offers a new exhibition model that integrates digital technology, cultural education, and audience participation.
合作館所 Collaboration institution
合作館所「演．藝：陽明交大布袋戲數位博物館」是陽明交大推動布袋戲文物典藏、數位化與加值應用的重要平台，並建基於校方自 2019 年接收西田社大量布袋戲相關文物後的長期整理與研究工作。 該館不僅進行文物保存與數位化，也強調透過跨領域方法讓布袋戲文化走向教育推廣、社群共享與新型態詮釋，使傳統藝術得以持續生成當代意義。
《未來布袋戲劇場》即是在此基礎上發展出的創作成果。作品並非以展示數位博物館既有內容為目的，而是將研究成果、典藏脈絡與文化轉譯經驗進一步發展為可供觀眾親身參與的沉浸式互動作品。
The collaborating institution, Yang MIng Chiao Tung University Glove Puppetry Digital Museum, is an important platform established by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University for the preservation, digitization, and applied development of glove puppetry artifacts. The museum is built upon extensive research and archival work initiated after the university received a large collection of glove puppetry-related artifacts from the Seden Foudation in 2019.
Beyond artifact preservation and digitization, the museum emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches that expand glove puppetry culture into educational outreach, community sharing, and new interpretive practices, allowing traditional art forms to continuously generate contemporary relevance.
Theater of Future Puppetry was developed from this foundation. Rather than simply presenting existing digital museum content, the work further transforms research outcomes, archival contexts, and cultural translation experiences into an immersive interactive artwork that audiences can directly participate in.
