About Loop (English Version only)
As part of Loop Hong Kong-based artist and poet Nicholas Wong and Nottingham-based artist Millie Quick joined forces to explore an international, intercultural linguistic exchange by means of poetry, symbols, and translation.
Taking working with words and visual symbols of language as a starting point of collaboration, the artists created a constellation of related outcomes - a visual and linguistic diary, in forms of poetry, sigils and installation. The works are playful, surreal and not free of a mistake or miscommunication, just like any intercultural collaboration.
The final work is digitally interpreted and presented on a website by Tom Ireland, who digitally captured the process and essence of the collaboration and virtual interchanges. The title Loop refers to the self-generative nature of language through the interplay of cultures and mediums, creating a feedback loop.
