INVENTION & INTERVENTION illustrates the nature and role of New Media Art in our daily lives; technology itself is an invention, which intervenes with our perception towards the entire world. New Media Art represents the best blend of technology and creative ideas, and grows based on the platform and principles of invention and intervention. Hong Kong’s New Media Art field is getting more and more mature, in which five emerging New Media Art stars are participating in this power showcase. Their artworks and performances are conceptually strong in illustrating the nature of New Media Art.
In the summer of 2011, with the greatest support from the presenter the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Microwave is proud to organize the largest platform of local New Media Art for the public. In this growing platform, we are going to invent the new, reinvent the art and intervene in the social, spatial and algorithmic poetics.
