Three visual artists recently won fellowships from the Asian Cultural Council, beating hundreds of applicants from around the region.
New media artist Hung Keung (Hong Kong), calligrapher Joseph Wei Ligang (the mainland) and Indonesian painter Dikdik Sayahdikumullah will visit the US and spend several months in an artist-in-residence programme at various universities, art schools and museums.
Crossing Boundaries showcases the artists' differences in medium, style and content. Hung presents an interactive video art piece that explores the relationship between human beings and moving images. In Time Liquid, Navigating Images and Heavy Angels/Falling Angels, the MA degree holder from Britain's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design devised a large flat-screen TV with a mounted camera that transposes and reverses images of people standing in front of it.
The image is then pixilated into large colourful circles or triangles, which correspond to the movement of whoever stands in front. It's fun to swing your arms and watch the image move - however, the artistic impression fades as soon as you walk away.
