Artist Talk: Photography and Hybrid Technologies
9.11.2024
16:30-18:00
About the Talk
Whether by medium or by action, several artists participating in the photo exhibition 'Mega Family—Imagining Home' have produced works that extend far beyond the elements of photographic print and frame. Their efforts include artificial intelligence, world-building, performance art, archive-diving, and model-making, culminating in takes of home that skew towards either literally imaginary or imaginatively literal.
Chan Oi Yan collaborated with her family to prompt AI to produce images of their dream house, printed on 'instant' film as if they were real, fleeting moments. Justin Hui used family photos as a research tool for recapturing images and models related to his grandmother's life, fashioning himself into an architect of family memory. Kevin Ling inserted himself into the frame as performance artist, using a drone to document his act of 'washing out' the ground beneath our constructed landscapes. Almond Chu created a world of his own, merging the mediums of photography with sci-fi, landscape, performance, and paint.
Enjoy their stories, experience, and expertise on the notion of 'hybrid' photographic art-making in this second of a series of four artist talks at the 2024 HKIPF.
