All segments will be connected via real-time transmission, allowing audiences in both cities to experience the same program simultaneously.

What is Out in the Loop
Out in the Loop was founded in 2022 and is part of an international network of arts institutions. Its core approach is to bring programming from different formats and time zones onto a single shared stage, testing possibilities for collaboration across disciplines, cities, and audiences, while using digital tools to address the technical and sensory challenges of "real-time cross-location experience." This collaboration with Sonic Shaman marks the festival's first time extending its telematic connection to Taiwan.
