TOKYO, March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION announced on March 18 the launch of “Feeling the Street,” a global street music initiative. Around the world, some of the most vibrant musical performances take place on street corners. That talent now has a home with the launch of “Feeling the Street” (www.feelingthestreet.com), an online campaign that celebrates some of the world’s best buskers.

TOYOTA for the first time gives the general public a chance to select the world’s best street performers by voting for their favorite artists to create an ultimate Global Street Band.

Three phases of competition:

Phase 2 — “Pick your band”: The audience will be able to pick a combination of the six favorite artists they would most like to see come together. Phase 2 runs from May until June, 2015.

Phase 3 — “Taking the Global Street Band on the road”: The winning participants will travel to New Zealand for a nine-day tour across the country that will culminate in a live performance on stage.

TAIPEI, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Jaguar Asia Art Tech Prize, jointly organized by Jaguar Taiwan and the Taiwan Art Gallery Association, is now underway, with its application rules and regulations having been released and its official website now online.

Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar, once said, “Cars are the closest we have come to making something that feels alive.” Three quarters of a century of nurturing, art, technology, and craftsmanship has created cars like the Jaguar E-Type, XJ220, F-Type. These are cars that deserved to be savored; classic cars with a sleek exterior and a powerful motor; cars that are the combination of perfect design and drive. These cars were made by breaking through creative barriers and from brilliant interactions. Jaguar cars are the finest portrayal of techno art, creating a never-ending experience of beauty.

After a long period of discussion, Jaguar Land Rover Taiwan, Chiuo Ho Automotive Sales Co., Ltd. and the Taiwan Art Gallery Association have established the Jaguar Asia Tech Art Prize. The Taiwan Art Gallery Association was established in June of 1992. Ever since its genesis, it has held an annual gallery fair. With the goal of encouraging artistic talent and enhancing artistic development and the art environment in Taiwan and in Asia, Jaguar Land Rover Taiwan, Chiuo Ho Automotive Sales Co., Ltd. and the Taiwan Art Gallery Association have jointly embarked on a new journey of aesthetics with the highest prize money targeting on Asian artist in the techno art category in the world.

The Jaguar Asia Art Tech Prize aims to encourage artists in the field of tecnho art. By doing so, it hopes to enhance the development of techno art. The prize aims to reward the most innovative artist in the techno art field of that year and also the artist that can bring the most positive impact for humanity and the environment. The committee is comprised of professionals dedicated to promoting the development of art in Taiwan and professors at art universities. They include: Hsieh Pei-ni, the director of Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts; Wang Jun-Jieh, Chief Director of Center for Art and Technology at the Taipei National University of the Arts; Huang Wen-hao, CEO of Digital Art Center, Taipei; and Loh Li-Chen, Managing Director of Association of infoDATE, Taiwan. The committee hopes to build the Jaguar Asia Tech Art Prize into an exchange platform for techno art, both within Taiwan and all of Asia, in order to create a whole new look for Taiwan.

Preliminary results will be announced on the website before June 30, 2015. The committee and judges will adjudicate the final round at Art Taipei 2015 on October 30, 2015 and the awards will be presented at Art Taipei 2015. Not only will the 1st prize winner receive $1 million NT, the largest prize targeting on Asian artists in the techno art category, but 4 other runner-ups will also each receive $100,000 NT as creative compensation in hopes that they will write a new page in the development of art and creativity in Taiwan.

Avant-garde creative group, HH, uses technology as a creative medium to create a heated clash of the senses

The venue will be full of rhythm, lighting, and interactive programs to showcase a thriving vitality that “never ceases to amaze”.

Techno art can be created using many mediums. Through interactions to communicate a unique sense of beauty and passion, we can create brand new possibilities. HH, founded by sound artists Zhonghan Yao and Tinghao Yeh, will be performing at Jaguar Art Tech Prize. Avant-garde and imaginative visual effects coupled with a strong rhythm will rush at your senses. Digital creations will also serve as a direct interactive bridge with the audience. An intense experience of the senses will tear down limits. A fusion and transformation of different artistic fields can create contemporary artistry achievements, which just happens to reflect the “never ceases to amaze” spirit of Jaguar’s brand. This also precisely evokes the mission of the Jaguar Asia Tech Art Prize.

The Jaguar Asia Tech Art Prize draws its inspiration from the classic craftsmanship of Jaguar cars. It hopes to utilize an even more active creative environment to spark an endless imagination of techno art and to experience a vitality that never ceases to amaze.

Emerging Technologies Enable Smarter Monitoring of Assets, Push Industrial Testing, Inspection and Monitoring Market

– Mechanical testing driven by supporting Mega Trends in consumer electronics, big data and beyond-BRIC markets, finds Frost & Sullivan

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Increased emphasis on product quality, reliability and safety has boosted investments in new testing and inspection technologies. The convergence of industries and products has also given rise to a range of innovative test solutions. This trend is further driven by the requirements of Generation Y, which is generally more inclined towards communication, media and digital technologies. As a result, product development strategies of test equipment vendors will cater to their needs, aiming incorporate emerging technologies like touch-screens, intuitive software, and even interactive voice response.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Impact of Mega Trends on the Mechanical Test Market, identifies and understands how key Mega Trends such as big data, emerging economies beyond BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China), and the rise of Gen Y will influence the mechanical test market in the years to come. The study covers nondestructive testing (NDT), condition monitoring, dimensional metrology and material testing.

For complimentary access to more information on this research, please visit: http://bit.ly/1w3EFse.

New infrastructure projects in markets beyond BRIC will be the biggest driver for capital expenditure-based industrial inspection and monitoring solutions. Potential game-changing countries include Indonesia, Turkey, the Middle East, and Africa. Markets will also see wide-scale adoption of big data platforms that enable continuous monitoring of critical and non-critical assets to maximize productivity and prevent costly shutdowns.

“Productivity trends in the consumer electronics industry, such as enhanced processing power, expanded memory, display technologies, lithium-ion batteries, and a shift toward touch-based devices, will directly impact tomorrow’s mechanical test equipment,” said Frost & Sullivan Measurement and Instrumentation Program Manager Vijay Mathew. “Equipment vendors are increasingly integrating these features into their devices as technologies continue to converge and solutions become more interactive, portable, connected and easy to navigate.”

Lack of skilled technicians and an aging workforce is a key challenge in the mechanical test industry. Though well-publicized infrastructure failures, aging infrastructures and growing investments in new infrastructure projects have incrementally increased demand for new technicians, the supply shortage continues. Coupled with shrinking budgets, end-user industries are compelled to outsource maintenance and inspection services.

“With buzzwords such as Industry 4.0, smart factories and smart manufacturing gaining interest, end users look to move away from traditional testing and inspection technologies and opt for automated solutions that can be integrated with modern production lines,” observed Mathew. “Inclusion of cloud-based software and networked systems and interfaces will also be crucial to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0.”

Impact of Mega Trends on the Mechanical Test Market is part of the Test & Measurement Growth Partnership Service program. Frost & Sullivan’s related studies include: Alternative Energy and NDT: Impact of Shale Gas and Oil Sands on the NDT Inspection Services Market, Beyond BRIC Opportunities for NDT Inspection Services Market: Middle East and North Africa, Current and New Opportunities for Metrology in the Automotive Industry, Analysis of the Emerging and Nontraditional Nondestructive Testing Equipment Market and World Material Testing Equipment Market. All studies included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.
