Art in the Cloud | Panel Discussion III
Joseph Chan (HK), Marco Donnarumma (DE), David Rodriguez Gimeno (ES), Vvzela Kook (HK), Ray LC (US/HK), Lin Pey-Chwen (TW), Tamas PalWaliczsky (HU/HK)
The development of media art and the online art space are both tightly enmeshed with the technological innovations of their times. Art in the Cloud is curatorial research that explores how the sudden growth of online art spaces contributes to the transformation of the presentation of media artworks. Specifically, we question how inherent characteristics such as interactivity and immersion shift in online exhibitions. How does today's online space contribute to, or limit, artistic creativity? What are some of the unexpected challenges that artists have encountered? What are some of the new potentials that emerge from the technological impediments we come across?

EASEAS: Experiments in Art, Science and Ethology of the Art-Subject
Maurice Benayoun (HK/FR), Refik Anadol (US), Nicolás Mendoza (CO), Tobias Klein (HK/DE)
The birth of the art-subject and its proliferation in the art world exemplifies a clear departure from the traditional status of artworks as objects. It enables artists to explore divergent paths as the behaviour of artworks goes beyond biomimicry and the mirroring of human attitudes, making disjuncture a powerful means through which to interrogate different levels of social concern and human belief.
Galactic Wine Sharing Party
Pop by Hong Kong for a virtual drink with the Galactic media art community? 50% of what Festivals are about, is meeting friends and discovering new people, and this is what has been lost in the circumstances of the pandemic. But the technologically mediated routes, which we are forced to stick to, funnel us toward a more extensive intermixing of people who are usually distanced geographically, and culturally.
