Microwave International New Media Arts Festival 2018

Exhibited at Exhibition Hall, Low Block, Hong Kong City Hall

October to November 2018

Microwave Festival began in 1996 as an annual video art festival of the local video art institution Videotage. As technology progressed and became more accessible, video art slowly evolved to involve other media; thus Microwave began to embrace the wider range of new media art. As the first and only art festival in Hong Kong dedicated to new media art, Microwave has steadily grown into a well-established festival that brings cutting-edge works to provoke thought in the technological hub every year.

Brain Factory

The artworks based on Artificial Intelligence are examining not only the meaning of ‘humanity’ like creativity, cognition, and emotion but also the relationship between humans and machine. This AI project provides variety of events related to AI. AI conference brings a discussion about the relationship between human and machine through the development of the artificial intelligence in cognitive revolution era.Brain Factory is a work that translates abstract human‘emotions’ into a visual form that resembles a ‘product’.The process where invisible emotions are transformed into data, visualized, and printed through a 3D printer raises a question about the true nature of emotions and their roles in the age of artificial intelligence.
