How contemporary art with technology change HK?
Michelle Ho
?
To me, contemporary art is…
• Something looks good and with meaning• Encourages audience to think• Vary in medium(e.g. painting ->new media)
Otto Ng’s view
“Anything with story is art.”• Concern with ideas and explorations, rather
than solely the aesthetic• Reflection of society (Invader incident)• Technology based (LED lighting ,high-tech
installation…)
Otto Ng
