In order to introduce media arts to the public and promote their understanding of this discipline, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) organised three large-scale interactive media exhibitions, namely “Body Movies” (2006), “A-Glow-Glow” (2008) and “Invention & Intervention” (2011) respectively. To further enhance the above objective, HKADC is now organising the upcoming “4th Large-scale
Interactive Media Arts Exhibition”. Presented by HKADC, curated by Professor Jeffrey Shaw and Professor Maurice Benayoun and organised by the City University of Hong Kong, the 4th Large-scale Interactive Media Arts Exhibition will be held in Hong Kong in September 2014. During the exhibition period, the project will present a series of interactive media arts exhibitions and seminal new large-scale public art light installations under the theme of “Fleeting Light”. The project has invited world-renowned media artist Jim Campbell, and two well-established local artists Leung Mee Ping and Samson Young for participation. They are enthusiastic about presenting their masterpieces to the citizens of Hong Kong. Along with the exhibitions, several educational programmes such as an Artist Symposium, Artist Workshops, and Docent Tours will also be presented. As a public and highly interactive media arts exhibition, “Fleeting Light” will be able to create extensive application space for the positioning of contemporary digital application and arts, and encourage public participation in media arts.
香港藝術發展局(下稱「藝發局」)於過往曾三次舉辦大型及互動的媒體藝術展,分別為「体‧映‧戲」(2006)、「燈陸‧亞高高」(2008)以及「發明π」(2011),邀請本地及國際著名的媒體藝術家展出其具份量的作品,藉以吸引本港市民大眾接觸媒體藝術,並增加對這項藝術的認識。為了進一步推動媒體藝術發展,藝發局舉辦第四屆大型互動媒體藝術展。
由藝發局及香港城市大學主辦,邵志飛教授及莫奔教授策展的第四屆大型互動媒體藝術展於2014年9月在香港舉行。在「流光曳影」的主題下,呈現一系列互動媒體藝術的作品及大型公共光影裝置。今次展覽邀請到國際知名媒體藝術家Jim Campbell,以及兩位本地著名藝術家梁美萍和楊嘉輝共同參與。他們非常期待向香港市民呈現自己的傑出作品。
除了展覽外,今屆的活動包括數個富教育意義的活動,如藝術家座談會,藝術家工作坊及導賞遊。「流光曳影」將為當代數碼藝術及其裝置帶來更廣泛的應用空間,並鼓勵大眾投入參與媒體藝術。
