             <p>Science and art are considered vastly distant from one another. However, if the contact between science and art could work toward the <b>same goal and philosophy</b>, why not use it as a feasible and creative way to work together? We thought that art might provide a unique perspective to help us <b>bridge the gap between science and society</b>.

             <p>Inspired by our collaboration with a senior citizen service center on Taiwanese Hokkien audio recording (Find it in Media for more information), glove puppetry came to mind. <b>Glove puppetry</b> (Budaixi) is a well-known performing art in Taiwan, which has undergone a rapid renaissance since the 1960s. It is usually performed at religious and festive occasions. The puppet master will set the performing stage and manipulate the glove puppets while hiding behind the stage. Taiwanese Hokkien is almost always the language used in dialogue and narration, accompanied by a Chinese orchestra performing on site. It is an <b>entertaining performance suitable for all ages</b>.</p>

By the rendition of glove puppets, the puppet masters tell a story, transmitting knowledge and intellectual values like Chinese virtues through the format of art and entertainment.
