Art Machines 2: International Symposium on Machine Learning and Art 2021 will take place between 10th-13th June 2021. "Art Machines 2," will bring together Academics, Artists, and Professionals in the field of Computational Media Art in a four-day symposium on the topic of Machine Learning and Art.

After the success of "Art Machines" in 2019, this much-anticipated follow-up symposium will provide the opportunity for in depth assessment of the impact of artificial intelligence on the making of computational art and media, and an exploration of the conditions of existence, range and futures of computationally based art and media. Media art does not exist in a vacuum and a critical concern of the conference will be both to understand and practice ways in which media art can intervene, both critically and constructively, in the ongoing construction of social reality by machine learning algorithms. The conference will comprise academic key notes, plenary panel presentations and discussions, scholarly and art practice paper presentations, an art exhibition and student-led workshops.

We believe that the ability to design is something that makes us uniquely human. It is a practice of realizing our imagination and a reflection of our way of thinking. Design is ubiquitous—it helps construct the fabric of our communication and has shaped how we exist as a species. It clothes our body and gives us our cultural identities, provides spaces of shelter, determines the substance we put into our mouth and keeps us alive. Everything manmade has been designed, hence everything can be redesigned.

The achievements of the Redress Design Award’s 10th cycle finalists and Alumni All Stars will be celebrated in an exhibition, opening on 20 November at THE FOREST, in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. a Hong Kong hub of outdoor living that fosters a sustainable environment surrounded by greenery.

Waste-reducing looks from the world’s top emerging menswear and womenswear designers will be showcased with visitors getting to see up close these stunning sustainable designs, and find out more about the circular design strategies applied by these talents who are working to shift the landscape of fashion. The exhibition features 14 designers, three of whom are from Hong Kong including much celebrated sustainable designer ANGUS TSUI.

Leung’s artistic practice involves observation and intervention through flaneuring, sometimes working with found images and ready-made objects, so as to explore the interplay between art and its plights. The result appears in the form of object, installation and video, exhibited to accumulate a visual disruption.

This radically inventive body of work is achieved by hand-screen printing images, in this case striking grids of currencies, onto retroreflective vinyl sheeting, the industrial material used to make road signs visible in the dark. While traces of patterning are perceptible upon first inspection of these intriguing monochromes, it is only when the works are illuminated by a beam of light that the intricate details of the iconic imagery are fully revealed. The works must be 'activated' by the viewer, whether using the light on an iphone or taking a photograph with a flash, encouraging an engagement and personalized experience with each work of art.

You can close your mind to things if something is important enough. It works very well. You make yourself very small, shut your eyes tight and say a big word over and over again until you are safe

The agave survives adversity and only blooms once in a lifetime. It is rare and precious. It is intertwined with works related to the conservation of endangered animals and natural resources by artists. Environmental pollution and excessive felling of trees have caused irreparable damage to the ecosystem. However, Gallery AGAVE by Kenal and How & How have joined as co-working partners to regenerate these precious species and destroyed places one by one with AR technology, giving vitality to life and enhancing the visual enjoyment of the audience to find the lost intimacy between human and nature, virtual and physical.

Pat Pat, Claudia’s seventh solo-exhibition, takes its name from an artwork in the ‘Hong Kong’ series. The collection comically illustrates Cantonese slag and innuendos. Each piece is accompanied by a caption offering insight into the connotation and cultural nuances. These works were made as an homage to the city and its way of life during a time of social uncertainty.

The artist graduated from London College of Communication in 2013 where she was already strongly focused on the sexual objectification of women. After working as a designer, she returned to her personal practice through her Instagram account. Quickly, the social media platform censored her works showing female body parts even though the style was far from explicit. She then played with the boundaries of the censorship algorithm, adding flying birds or skyscapes into the images, finding these details would keep the post from being deleted.

For six decades the Osaka-born, Paris-based artist Takesada Matsutani has developed a unique visual language of form and materials. Organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong includes new mixed-media paintings, works on paper, assemblages and an important site-specific installation from the artist’s archive.

From the early 1960s until the 1970s Matsutani was a key member of the influential post-war Japanese art collective, the Gutai Art Association. As part of the group, Matsutani experimented with vinyl glue, using fans and his own breath to manipulate the substance, creating bulbous and sensuous forms. By working closely with the material, this approach embodied an important aspect of Gutai: letting material and spirit work in conjunction with one another to create something new.

Wet feet __ dry feet: borders and games gathers for the first time in Hong Kong important recent works by Francis Alÿs, one of the most influential conceptual artists of our time. Structured around the artist’s interest in migration, borders, and his fascination with children’s games from around the world, this solo exhibition highlights Francis Alÿs’s poetic, imaginative sensibility, anchored by geopolitical concerns and individual will while being grounded in everyday life.

In between breaths, the world became still. Time once again was measured in sunrises and sunsets, shadows that grew to their terminal length in the confines of our homes. In its third year, this edition of Sound Forms has mutated and grown with the seismic shifts that have affected forms of mutual aid, care, and turmoil. Hong Kong, an international airport hub and transfer node, now finds itself physically isolated. Yet the project of world-building endures. The sound artists we have invited for this first collaboration with Tai Kwun Contemporary reflect those who have superseded the usual confines of their medium. What they have to offer is a sensorium of experience created in collaboration with video artists, composers, and choreographers. Curated by Remy Siu of CMHK (Contemporary Musiking Hong Kong) and Hera Chan, Sound Forms 2020 (TKC Edition) is a series of transmissions that celebrate the world that can be found in the local.

Tai Kwun Contemporary presents SNEEZE, a solo exhibition by Mika Rottenberg featuring immersive video installations about surreal alternative worlds of global everyday life. This is the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by the artist. With an engaging yet rigorous artistic practice combining film, architectural installation and sculpture, Mika Rottenberg is fascinated by processes of labour and of technology as well as the effects of distance and the production of value in our contemporary world. Her works bring to the fore some of the absurdities in our global world.

Is Truth Real?, presented by JPS Art Gallery, features a new group of paintings that probes the relationship between the audience and the mass media. We are living under the age of information overload, from reading the news to managing status update on our social media platforms, we are consuming information 24/7. However, have we ever considered the power of mass media in our daily lives? In this group of works, Lam draws our attention to the influence of media and how we perceive new information. All the works presented in this exhibition are the artist’s re-imagination of some of the most iconic cover stories in media history, including Life Magazine’s Moon Landing special edition single issue in 1969. Recalling the main theme, the works are also all uniquely framed with acrylic cases, mimicking the plastic cover packaging that is normally spotted in the rare magazines.

Hong Kong is the heart of cyberpunk culture. “Blade Runner” a Hollywood film co-produced by Shaw Brothers in 1982, has depicted stunning futuristic Cyber cityscapes that was heavily influenced by Hong Kong and was famously considered to be the classic cyberpunk film of all time that spearheaded and cultivated the genre.

Since after that, cyberpunk can never be separated from Hong Kong, and tons of work belong to the cyberpunk genre have been produced with Hong Kong as part of the futuristic aesthetics. Some scenes in Ghost in the Shell were filmed in Sham Shui Po, where saturated neon lights and metropolitan style high-rises create the ideal aesthetic and mood.

In the third year of FP2.0 at JCCAC, Andio Lai wants to try out another event similar to the Sketch Out show (稿展) in 2018. Assembled this time will be performance-related old media files from FP1.0 and FP2.0, which hopefully generates something new through the exhibition period.

More importantly, Andio is experimenting with new event formats under the pandemics and post-pandemics work conditions. Would an impromptu mode embracing flexibility with a carefree touch also generated something valuable and spatially innovative?

We are entering a space full of barely perceptible, yet deliberately edited sounds and images. These sounds and images are like weak signals that cannot be transmitted completely or accurately. We can only supplement them through our own experiences and memories, or try to augment the limited external information by other methods and reorganise our indistinct visual and auditory consciousness.

“BAD CONNNNNNNECTION” is the first duo exhibition by Jacklam Ho Tsz-yeung and Li Hiu-wa. In addition to their experiments with space, creation, and forms of display, the works also show the artists’ recent bewilderments and obsessions.

Post No Bill presents BOMS’ works from different stages of his artistic oeuvre including his iconic characters, photography of his street art and graffiti, contemporary Chinese calligraphy and the local hip-hop scene.

BOMS (b. 1990) is a graffiti artist working in Hong Kong. Starting out in his early practice with acrylic on canvas, BOMS strayed away from the traditional medium after discovering street dancing and hip-hop at the age of 17. It was through the local hip-hop scene that he was exposed to graffiti art for the first time, and its down-to-earth power in capturing city dwellers’ attention with bursts of creativity soon also captured his artistic imagination. He started to devote himself to spray-painting murals and is now one of Hong Kong’s most recognizable street artists.

SHOP Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to announce “The Mingei”, a group show curated by Nicolas Trembley, featuring Japanese crafts, prints, design and publications from Oct 9 – Nov 15, 2020. Artworks and products presented in cooperation with Gallery Kojima, KOMIYAMA TOKYO, Kurodatoen, LYAN ARTS’ COLLECTION, Shikama Fine Arts, as well as collectors Terry Ellis & Keiko Kitamura and Masamitsu Saito.


This exhibition explores the presence and legacy of Mingei—the Japanese Folk Craft Movement founded in the late 1920s by philosopher and critic Soetsu Yanagi. Based on handcrafted art, the movement originally finds beauty in everyday ordinary and utilitarian objects created by nameless and unknown craftsmen. Yanagi has a core concern for the functional qualities of objects, which he described as an “honesty with regards to their intended use”, leading to the well-known expression of “YOnoBI” or functional beauty. Perceived through intuition, the inherent beauty of Mingei arts can be enjoyed by all walks of life.

Phillips in collaboration with K11 presents a rare selling showcase at the new K11 Art & Culture Centre of Victoria Dockside. This exclusive selling exhibition spotlights the pivotal pieces that made immense implications in the world of contemporary art and blurred the lines between pop culture and fine art.
