數碼藝術展覽簡介

      發光螢幕早已與我們形影不離，它不只是接收溝通資訊的末端，更是重要的數碼物質，是連接物理身體、虛擬世界及數碼物質的重要媒介，讓人能投入及浸淫在瞬息萬變的資訊之海。
      啟發自二十四節氣的穀雨，洪強博士之《穀雨》系列在發光螢幕上，以花開花落的概念將漢字人格化。洪譽豪先生的沉浸式作品《Proxy》邀請觀眾在虛擬世界中將自我去中心化，在瀏覽之間反思數碼領域對人類意識的影響。李嘉瑩女士的互動裝置《想與你分享我的風景》運用面部追蹤技術作畫，探索人與風景之間的關係。周嘯虎先生的《迷走花園》運用3D動畫及VR體驗，解構一般人對時間和空間的理解。
      嶺南大學動畫及數碼藝術課程的老師以別具一幟的方法，窺看內在自我與數碼物質之間糾纏不清的關係。文志華教授的《innerSelf_V.23》以一系列螢幕上的碎片影像反映出內在自我，曹鴻傑教授的裝置作品《Matter Conversion》探索用戶生成圖像和聲音之間的互動，結合觀眾的影像和音樂來創作，簡肇韜教師的互動裝置《數碼自我的方面》思索社交媒體世代下身份的本質。他們更選取學生出色的作品，以示學生如何以數碼藝術的形式來探索藝術，表達想法。
      通過展現感官、故事和文化如何在現實空間及虛擬影像之結合中自我改造，此次展覽將會改變你對這三者在感性和理性上的理解。

Digital Art Exhibition Description

      Luminous screens have become ubiquitous tools of interaction. Beyond a mere receiving end of communication, the screen connects our bodies with physical, virtual, and digital matters. It serves as a vital interface, enabling humans to engage and immerse themselves in an ever-changing sea of information.
      Inspired by the solar term Grain Rain, Dr. Hung Keung’s Grain Rain series personifies Chinese characters through the depiction of life cycle of the blossoming and withering of flowers on luminous screens. Mr. Hung Yu Hao’s immersive artwork Proxy invites viewers to navigate in the process of decentralizing themselves in the virtual world; by doing so, it helps viewers to reflect on the impact of digital connections on human consciousness. In her interactive installation I want to share my landscape with you, Ms. Lei Ka Ieng uses facial tracking technology to create visual artworks that explore the relationship between people and the landscapes that they inhabit. Drawing inspiration from Jorge Luis Borges’s novels, Mr. Zhou Xiaohu’s The Garden of Vague utilizes 3D animation and VR experience to challenge conventional notions of time and space.
      The team from Lingnan University’s Animation and Digital Arts Programme offers another way of understanding the entanglement between the inner self and the luminous digital matter. Prof. Man Chi Wah’s digital artwork innerSelf_V.23 reflects the inner self through fragmented images on a series of screens. Prof. Tso Hung Kit’s installation Matter Conversion delves into the interaction between user-generated images and sounds, incorporating the audience’s own images and music into the creative process. Mr. Kan Shiu Tao’s interactive installation Facets of the Digital Self explores the nature of identity in the age of social media. The team also curates exemplary and exceptional artworks of students, thereby exemplifying their artistic explorations and expressive inclinations within the digital art medium.
      The exhibition revolutionizes our perception of sensations, narratives, and cultures, highlighting their transformation through the combination of actual space and virtual images.
