Co-presented by WMA and HART, the ‘Book Lab’ is a new initiative focused on artists’ books. Spotlighting design thinking, materiality, printing and reading experiences, 'Book Lab' intends to stretch established sequencing-driven models for generating books, to the process of conceptualisation and format design. ‘Book Lab’ includes two full-day seminars and a five-day book making workshop. A group of local and international designers, publishers, and book makers will demonstrate how books transform from paper that simply carries knowledge to a collection of artists’ thoughts and actions. A book can be used as a contemporary creative medium not only for reading but also for looking at, touching, and even experiencing.

由WMA 與 HART 聯合籌劃的「書籍實驗所」是一個以藝術家書籍為核心的全新計劃。計劃以設計思維、物料材質、印刷製作以及閱讀經驗為主導，突破傳統以敍事結構來編制書籍的模式。整個計劃包括兩場專題討論會，以及一個為期五日的書籍製作工作坊。一眾本地與海外的設計師、出版社、書籍製作者將透過他們的分享，展示書籍如何由單純承載知識的紙本，轉化成一種結合藝術家的想法和行為，可以不單被閱讀，而是被凝視、觸碰、甚至經驗的一種當代創作媒介。

Opening Reception: 5 May 2023 (Fri), 6–8:30pm
Artist Talk and Guided Tour: 6 May 2023 (Sat), 2-3:30pm

During the celebration of French May Arts Fest 2023, curated by HART artist-in-residence Merryn Trevethan, “Luminaria” is Gisèle Tchitchiama’s exhibition that frames a quest for illumination through encounters with light, fragility and the ephemeral. For Gisèle, her multiple identities - French, African, woman, wife, mother, daughter - are woven into her interrogations. Presence and absence are at the heart of her ongoing artistic conversation which takes the audience on a journey into inner and outer landscapes.

The exhibition was inspired by the colour, poetry and delicacy of an unexpected moment on a journey from France to Dover, England last summer, Gisèle captured in a blurry landscape photo. This image became the starting point for an artistic journey that incorporates many creative and meaningful collaborations.

“Music for 9“ is part of the The Missing Link series. Curated by Multi-disciplinary Media Artist / HK Composer GayBird and Vanissa Law, The Missing Link consists of three Arts Tech exhibitions, an immersive performance, and a series of open lectures concerning the current issues in the use of technology in arts. By introducing two essential elements in music - timeliness and performative into art forms that have not yet existed, the two composers/curators wish to inspire new creations and to offer new dimensions to existing art forms. Through the creation of multimedia artworks, the artists would explore ways to deploy technology for the sake of storytelling.

《九重奏》展覽是由兩位跨媒體藝術家及作曲家梁基爵和羅穎綸策劃《連繫不明》展覽系列的延伸，靈感來自科技與音樂的應用，將「時間性」 (timeliness) 和「展演性」 (performative) 套用在不同媒體的藝術層面，輔以科技的運用，給予藝術形式一個新看法、新生命，從而啟發更多新的作品。《連繫不明》展覽系列計劃包括三個分別以聲音雕塑、動態裝置及虛擬現實裝置為題材的展覽，是一個時空扭曲的媒體演出以及六節免費的科技藝術公開課。他們都會從不同界別去透視時間性和展演性應用在其他藝術形式的可能性。

With the recent rapid advancements of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are led to imagine a near future through its domination. Commissioned by Videotage and supported by Hong Kong Arts Development Council, The Arcana Intelligent (2023) concludes a 6-month research by artist Liao Jiaming. It creates an experience of “divination”, combining elements of various religion, meditation, occultism, and ritual, that employs AI algorithms developed from different eras. It is an attempt to subvert current relationships between human users and computational algorithms in most AI applications. The art of divination may not simply be interpreted by the omniscient, it provides access to the inquirer’s subconscious. AI becomes a conjugate of scientific and spiritual medium, and therefore positioned beyond the divine and secular.

*The meaning of “Arcana” comes from the terms “major arcana” and “minor arcana” in tarot card reading. Arcana is the mystery sought by the alchemists of the Middle Ages, and the principle of the world.

From 11 to 29 April 2023, you will be able to experience this unique divination powered by AI at 9/F H Queen’s, alongside HART’s exhibition “Postmodern Tales”.

近期人工智能（Artificial Intelligence，AI）急速發展，引領我們持著AI主導來想像未來快將來到。由Videotage委託和香港藝術發展局資助，《萬試萬靈》（2023年）是藝術家廖家明六個月的研究成果。作品創造了一種集合宗教、冥想、神秘主義和儀式等元素的「占卜」體驗。該作品綜合採用不同時代開發的AI算法，試圖顛覆目前大多數AI應用中人類使用者和電腦算法之間的關係。占卜的魅力也許不是可以得到全知者的提點，而是得以通往問卜者自身的潛意識。AI在此成為科學和精神媒介的結合體，因而也被置於神性和世俗之外。

*英文作品標題之「arcana」來自塔羅牌占卜中的「大秘儀 major arcana」和「小秘儀 minor arcana」。Arcana為中古世紀煉金術師所追尋的奧秘，天地萬物運行的道理。

在2023年4月11至29日期間，你可在H Queen’s 九樓「後現代小傳」展覽中體驗AI占卜。
