In 2018, with the "Art Youth School" as the core structure, the Vision Alliance tried to think about the emerging learning needs of young people with different specialties in the visual art world from the perspective of a new type of school, and through the practical experience accumulated over the years, the five major work platform resources were integrated with each other to build a new form of learning platform.
In this project, Google Analytics Learning (GA Learning) – Online Curation Equipment 4.0 will be launched, allowing young online curators to learn GA data analysis tools and catch up with the analysis and interpretation techniques in the era of big data through free courses, and use the "Taiwan Contemporary Art Database" (TCAA) as a reading and analysis platform. The "Taiwan Contemporary Art Database" is based on the investigation of bilingual materials of Taiwanese contemporary artists, breaking the limitations of time, space and geography, actively establishing international connections through the Internet, encouraging curators to rethink and use the database after learning from GA, analyzing the user's reading behavior patterns from the background traffic data of the website, so as to ask curatorial questions and think about research directions, and further generate a new form of curation with "online curation".
