​

The conference will take place from 5–8 November 2026 at the elegant and beautiful Mei Pavilion, part of the Fubon Art Museum. The excursion will take you to the New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum, which showcases Taiwan’s rich ceramic culture, history, and contemporary artistry, followed by a visit to Yingge Old Street, a charming historic area known for its pottery shops, local crafts, and traditional Taiwanese snacks.​

Colorizing the Horizon:

Vision, Culture, and Innovation

​

Under the theme “Colorizing the Horizon: Vision, Culture, and Innovation,” ACA 2026 seeks to reimagine the evolving role of color in shaping human perception, cultural narratives, and technological futures. “Colorizing” is understood not merely as the application of color, but as a transformative process—infusing perception, extending boundaries, and reconfiguring the ways we see and engage with the world. “Horizon” signifies both the limits of vision and the emergence of new possibilities. Together, the theme invites participants to explore how color operates across disciplines to:

​

• Expand perceptual and cognitive horizons

• Mediate between technology and human experience

• Embed cultural meaning in contemporary design

• Foster ethical and sustainable futures

​

The conference particularly welcomes contributions that respond to rapid advancements in AI and digital technologies, while maintaining a strong commitment to humanistic values, cultural depth, and environmental responsibility.​
