Dimension Plus

What Dimension Plus does

Dimension Plus is a privately held arts and technology studio founded in 2008 in Hong Kong by artist Keith Lam and curator Escher Tsai, with a regional headquarters in Taipei. The company operates as a creator, curator, and producer of site-specific artworks and immersive experiences that integrate generative computing, AI, 5G cloud computing, robotic systems, motion capture, and biofeedback with performing arts. Core technical capabilities include a proprietary 5G Cloud Computing Aesthetic Platform that enables remote cross-border performances, AI text-to-image and generative species systems, GSR biofeedback-driven visuals, slit-scan photography, and the U-108 5G immersive display system (18K resolution, 16.2 Ambisonics spatial audio). Flagship offerings span the reCONNECT performance series, Hello Human! AI art exhibitions, Project Patching (an AI cultural training initiative), the Playaround Workshop and Arts in School programs, and the AND Taiwan Arts and Technology Center platform.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-off commissioned artworks and installations for museums, performing arts centers, and government cultural bodies (MoCA Taipei, Hong Kong Museum of Art, National Taichung Theater, East Kowloon Cultural Centre, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts), supplemented by festival curation and production fees, corporate brand collaborations (Mondelez/Oreo, New Balance, GIGABYTE), and workshop/education programs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; each project is custom-scoped. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven through long-term institutional partnerships, with no retail or productized distribution. Marketing is largely earned — driven by international award recognition (Prix Ars Electronica, Japan Media Arts Festival, Taiwan Golden Pin Design Award, Design for Asia Award Gold) and presence at international festivals (Ars Electronica, SXSW, MUTEK Montreal, Nuit Blanche Taipei).

Dimension Plus is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent entities. The ownership structure remains founder-led. Customer concentration is moderate, anchored by a recurring set of public cultural institutions, with episodic corporate diversification. Geographic reach spans Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Japan, Austria, Finland, Canada, and the USA via festival presentations. The company has produced 200+ projects since founding, with a recent strategic pivot toward AI cultural training (Project Patching, 2024) and AI-curated exhibitions, signaling an expansion of its addressable market beyond commissioned art into cultural AI research and dataset curation.
