Ep 1 : How do artists adopt the new normal for their art creation during Covid-19?
Featuring guest artists : Benson Koo and Carol Man
Benson Koo - Hong Kong visual artist, video director, and creator. His first solo gallery debuted in The Fringe Club in Hong Kong showcased the “扭曲” Collection. He received Reviewers Award in 2016 at the Unknown ASIA Art Exchange Osaka.
Carol Man is a visual artist in Hong Kong, presenting the two sides to stories in her cross-cultural projects. Besides exploring Chinese and Jewish traditions and practices, her works also carry hidden meanings to illustrate how the majority and the minority may see the world differently. The series of colourful dotty paintings is dedicated to her mentor, Henry Steiner – world-renowned graphic designer, for his inspiring teachings and encouragement for her artistic career.
Ep 2 : How does a visual artist create artworks from conceptual ideas to final pieces with new technologies?
Featuring guest artists : Frédéric Bussière
French-Portuguese visual artist, Frédéric Bussière is graduated from a Master in Arts in France then started an international career: Buenos Aires, Paris, Sydney and finally Hong Kong. Through his travel, his approach of art has moved from 2D animation, to fashion video, and then finally to visual arts, incorporating video projection, installation and new technologies.
Many of his works explore the relationship between humans and nature, via the themes of biophilia, digital communities and air and water pollutions.
His approach is viewer centric, considering the audience as part of the art piece, by immersing the attendees into new audio-video experiences and also digital worlds and realities.
