Digital Humanities Summer Fellowships
The Simpson Center offers annual summer fellowships for faculty and graduate students to pursue research projects that use digital technologies in innovative and intensive ways and/or explore the historical, social, aesthetic, and cross-cultural implications of digital cultures. The program has three primary goals:
- To animate knowledge—using rich media, dynamic databases, and visualization tools
- To circulate knowledge—among diverse publics
- To understand digital culture—historically, theoretically, aesthetically, and generatively
The Simpson Center gratefully acknowledges the support of a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as well as many donors to the endowment which is underwriting these fellowships.

Untitled Vignettes: Multisensory Encounter, Audiovisual Symphony, and the Contemporary Multimedia Art of Taiwan
Untitled Vignettes is a multisensory journey that traces the footsteps of the social movements taking place in Taiwan that rebel against social issues and injustices rampant on the island. The site-specific audio walk and its digital companion audiovisual book interweave spontaneous reflection with history, personal recollection, music, cinematic soundtracks, and local soundscapes. It turns the virtual encounter initially mediated by the cyberspace into an interdimensional experience through a series of audiovisual storytelling, listening, and viewing.
