Development of video art comes from life and technology, the two sides of a whole; creative works as early as the 1960's already attempted to crossover from television media into the experimental, continuously developing interconnected notions of body, concept, recording, film, computer, interactivity, installation etc, making it possible for video art to emerge and grow gradually amidst the many different art genres.

　At the same time, the technology of video art continues to break new ground, and the continuous innovation of humanist concepts, let it gradually take on an important role in the history of art. From the development milestone of video art, ideas of critical influence can be explored, whereby the types of work and forms of creative expressions such as: influence of television broadcast media, live and recorded video documentary, body behavior in the video, textual spirit and conceptual video, feedback video and technical experiments, image transformations of film and video, integration of multi-media visual effects, projection of objects and video installations etc.

　Taiwan, known as the island of technology, already has vast development potential. Exhibition practices or artists' creations here are all gradually gearing towards international standards. Looking ahead to the future, after evaluating the present situation with regards to international response to moving image arts in Taiwan, there are presently the ''Taiwan International Documentary Festival'' organized by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, ''Taiwan International Animation Festival'' organized by the Chinese Taipei Film Archive, with the macro perspectives of these exhibitions continuing to gain reputation in the international art scene.

　Regarding the development of images, currently Taiwan's video artists are a constant voice and have achieved important recognition in the international arena. However, excluding some video art exhibitions which have been listed as part of some local art exhibitions, no form of special exhibition on video art has been shown. Therefore, the Chiu Tsai-Hsing Culture and Education Foundation is organizing the ''2008 Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition'' (Biennial) for the first time this year, to create a win-win situation by setting the standard of strong and stable support to moving image arts, as well as to promote the arts and its international image.
