STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
「。。。其實有些東西他講過，也就是他所認定跟知道的藝術知識是一樣的，只是透過不同主題課堂，隨著當時的空間跟人群，重新組成知識 - 工具- 創作互相辯證的三角關係。這種不斷改變的有機關係，某種程度上也是屬於老師的創作吧。。。在他解釋工具跟其他藝術家怎麼使用工具的過程裡，我也突然發現有新東西可以玩了。一股腦地興奮就沒有時間煩惱怎樣才算藝術的問題。」– SueSuSu

jonCates (Jon Cates) teaching Media Art

jonCates 是在「Glitch Art/不穩定藝術」領域中的創始學者藝術家。從知名的奧地利林茲電子藝術節（Ars Electronica Festival in Austria）至紐約電影博物館（The Museum of Moving Image）以及紐約的藝術組織Rhizome， Cates在全世界數位市場中具有極多的策展以及參展經驗。 台灣最大宗與廣為人之的當代藝術發行品，今藝術 ARTCO 跟典藏 ARTouch，曾寫道：「jonCates 的《鬼鎮》，透過錯訊藝術的媒材應用，切入社會現象的討論，並藉以提供其他討論當代影像美學的觀看路徑。」他的「『Glitch Art/不穩定藝術』，表現鬼魅、錯亂與迷樣的科技影像，反映美國西部開發的幻覺與衝突。」 身為一位於其他多個全球性新媒體和媒體藝術史系所任教的教授，Cates曾於芝加哥藝術學院（School of the Art Institute of Chicago）擔任教職。芝加哥藝術學院內的新媒體學科必修課程即為 jonCates 所創立。此課程已是現今全美大學美術學院內（Best Fine Arts Schools of the United States），享有最高評價前五其中之一的新媒體系所。

Since the 1990s, pioneering Glitch Artist jonCates works across digital forms from Internet to cinema, games and NFTs. Most recently he is known for creating the Glitch Western genre. "Glitch Western" is a form of Digital Art that combines Old West themes with frontier technologies, such as AI, expressing their glitches and errors. His extensive international exhibition record includes invited exhibitions at biennales, museums, galleries, film festivals, and alternative arts spaces such as: 鳳甲美術館 (Hong-Gah Museum), 臺北數位藝術中心 (Digital Art Center), and 剝皮寮歷史街區 Bopiliao Historic Block (Taipei, Taiwan); Museum of Contemporary Art, the Gene Siskel Film Center, Chicago Gamespace, and the original Glitch Festivals (Chicago, USA); as well as ART BASEL (Miami, Florida), MuseumsQuartier (Vienna, Austria), Instituto Cultural de León (Mexico), Kasseler Kunstverein (Kassel, Germany), and the Ende Tymes Festival (New York City, New York) and many more worldwide.

Founder of the Glitch Art Gallery, jonCates curates Digital Art for international venues and organizations as an invited curator for Superchief Gallery, Ars Electronica Festival, and The University of Illinois at Chicago as well as many others worldwide. His acclaimed Chicago New Media exhibition, a major survey of Art and Games that he curated in 2018, was supported by The Terra Foundation for American Art, The United States Embassy (Austria), The Goethe-Institut, and more. His curating has always activated both physical spaces and digital networks simultaneously since 1997.

Cates is recognized for early and ongoing contributions to Digital Art education. Now offering classes through his glitch.school initiative he most recently partnered with 藝術宮 Artgong at the 龍山文創基地 Longshan Cultural & Creative Base, 臺北數位藝術節 (Digital Arts Festival Taipei), Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab (C-LAB), National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), and the Center for Innovation Taipei. He previously taught at School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1999 - 2023), building the award-winning New Media program and ultimately serving as the Chair of Faculty, the highest elected Faculty position of the school.
