關於超越圈圈
「超越圈圈」源自策展人賴懿容於2014至2015年間參訪日本《大地藝術祭》與《瀨戶內國際藝術祭》時，對地方創生與藝術跨域合作的深刻體會。2018年，她與循環台灣基金會前往蘇格蘭學習循環經濟熱點計畫，進一步思索如何將循環經濟理念與台灣在地產業、文化與創意設計相結合。
於是，「超越圈圈」誕生為一個以循環經濟為核心、跨域合作為手段的行動平台。我們相信，每個產業都能成為循環的一環，每個人都能透過超越自我、突破框架，打破知識與領域的界線。
正如《梅第奇效應》所指出：「創新常來自不同領域的交會。」我們期望透過策展、對話與實踐，串聯設計師、企業、教育者、科技工作者與政策制定者——以跨域行動，開展永續未來的循環實踐。
Circula-Cross originated from curator Yi-Jung Lai’s profound insights into regional revitalization and cross-disciplinary collaboration in the arts, gained during her visits to Japan’s Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale and Setouchi Triennale between 2014 and 2015. In 2018, she traveled with the Taiwan Circular Economy Foundation to Scotland to study its Circular Economy Hotspot program, further inspiring her to explore how circular economy concepts could be integrated with Taiwan’s local industries, culture, and creative design.
Thus, Circula-Cross was born—an action platform centered on the circular economy and driven by cross-disciplinary collaboration. We believe every industry can become part of a circular system, and every individual can transcend boundaries and limitations, breaking down the barriers between knowledge and fields.
As The Medici Effect highlights, “Innovation often arises at the intersection of different disciplines.” Through curation, dialogue, and practice, we aim to connect designers, businesses, educators, technologists, and policymakers—fostering cross-disciplinary action to realize sustainable and circular futures.
一個為再生協作而生的平台
Circular-Cross 超越圈圈 是一個跨領域的展覽與實踐平台，自 2020 年起誕生於台灣，致力於串連各界創新者，探索循環生活的可能樣貌。我們不只是展示成果，更是一個跨越材料、產業、文化與系統邊界的共創場域，為邁向韌性與再生的未來開路。
A Platform for Regenerative Collaboration
Circular-Cross is an interdisciplinary exhibition platform that brings together innovators across sectors to explore, experiment, and reimagine the future of circular living. Born in Taiwan in 2020, Circular-Cross aims to go beyond traditional boundaries—connecting people, materials, cultures, and systems to shape a more resilient and regenerative world.
在氣候變遷、資源枯竭、系統分化加劇的當下，跨域合作不再只是口號，而是實現轉型的必要條件。儘管循環經濟提供了解方，它卻常被侷限在技術、產業或政策框架中，難以深入生活、觸動人心。
Circular-Cross 正是為了打破這些邊界而誕生。
我們連結設計師與工程師、新創團隊與教育者、藝術家與政策制定者，相信只有透過共學與行動，循環經濟才能真正轉化成一種文化、一種語言、一種日常選擇。
In a time of accelerating climate change, resource depletion, and systemic fragmentation, the need for collaboration across industries and disciplines has never been more urgent. The circular economy offers a powerful vision, but too often remains locked within technical, industrial, or policy silos.
Circular-Cross was created to unlock these boundaries—to build bridges between designers and engineers, entrepreneurs and educators, artists and policymakers. Through shared action, we believe the circular economy can become not just a system—but a culture, a language, a lifestyle.
每年，Circular-Cross 以展覽為起點，串聯裝置藝術、互動體驗、工作坊與公眾活動，打造一個持續進化的循環創新生態圈。重點主題包括：
再生設計與永續材料
聚焦升級再造、搖籃到搖籃設計、生物基材料與在地工藝。
AI、氣候科技與數位工具
探索氣候收據、材料履歷、智慧循環平台等資料導向系統。
社會創新與公眾參與
透過故事、參與式藝術與實驗行動，讓社區與全球解方接軌。
跨界媒合與合作平台
創造政府、企業、學界與公民社群之間的交流與合作機會。
我們相信，循環必須與日常生活產生連結。因此，每一次策展都不只是「讓人看見」，更是邀請「參與其中、產生感知、轉變行動」。
Each year, Circular-Cross curates an evolving ecosystem of exhibitions, installations, workshops, and public programs centered on circular innovation. Our focus includes:
Regenerative Design & Materials
Featuring innovations in upcycling, cradle-to-cradle design, biobased materials, and local crafts.
AI, Climate & Digital Tools
Exploring data-driven systems such as climate receipts, material passports, and smart circular platforms.
Social Innovation & Community Engagement
Connecting local communities with global solutions through storytelling, participatory art, and hands-on experiments.
Cross-Sector Matchmaking
Creating opportunities for collaboration between government, business, academia, and civil society.
We believe circularity becomes meaningful when it enters daily life. That’s why we design experiences that invite visitors not only to see, but to feel, touch, question, and participate.
Circular-Cross 不只是一次展覽，更是一種思維轉向。
在我們眼中，循環經濟不只是回收再利用，更是修復關係、重新定義價值與重構系統的過程。
我們不追求完美，而重視實驗、好奇心與在地智慧。錯誤是學習的一部分，合作是改變的種子。
跨領域，其實也是跨越自我。走進陌生、進入對話、看見他者，是我們相信的轉變起點。
Circular-Cross is not just an event—it’s a mindset.
We see circularity as more than resource recovery; it’s about restoring relationships, redefining value, and rethinking systems.
We don’t aim for perfection. We value experimentation, curiosity, and local wisdom. Every mistake is part of the learning loop. Every collaboration plants a seed for long-term change.
As we cross disciplines, we also cross personal boundaries—stepping into discomfort, dialogue, and new perspectives. We believe this is where true transformation begins.
