Tonight I went for a long way to Cyber Port to attend a performance by renowned media artist Prof Masayuki Akamatsu
In the performance, Prof Masayuki Akamatsu developed his own iphone software which made about 20 iphone could be interact each other on a WI-Fi network.

When Prof Masayuki Akamatsu touched one of the iphone , the screen will generate some snow flake and instantly transfer and interact to other iphone, other than visual elements on the screen, nice tones were generated as the same time
In the second part, prof hanged all the iphone on the windows and let the audience to touch and to generate your own sounds.

Amazing to turn a tech stuff into a new media carriers, as an iphone user, i think there were more possibility to be explored....

An interview about Figure artist Michael Lau

Today I have visited Michael Lau 's gallery in a factory building in Quarry Bay
for an interview about the catalogue essay.
He was so nice to express his view about Hong Kong Art Scene, his art philosophy...

Wow, from his first exhibition of the well known Gardener Figure, the coming summer will be 10 year anniversary.
and his Gardener series will be exhibited in U.S.A as one of the celebration.

Chow Chun Fai 's Taxi series

Beside Michael Lau's water garden, I also find local artists Chow Chun Fai's taxi series in lobby of cornwall house. Chow told me that the day when he drew the taxi series was the time he earned his living as a part time taxi driver,

From his drawing, not only reflect a local scenery of public transport. but also the harsh life for a local artist.
