'Visible Sounds & Audible Images' Multimedia Lecture Series【Online Programme】

Experience each moment in time through sound; enjoy the scenery through time.  The conscious and the subconscious interact just like an object and its shadow.  Four artists will share how, through their works, they look at time and space, the inner and the outer, the material and the spiritual, and speed and its reversal.

There are endless possibilities to the performing arts, but what comes with them is a considerable degree of instability.  A work of art that treads a fuzzier line is therefore more valuable than one in an erstwhile state.

'Visible Sounds & Audible Images' is conceived and presented by scenographer and singing bowl performer Tsang Man-tung.  For every lecture, the singing bowl performance complements the guest speaker’s artworks, with a dialogue on arts between the artist and the moderator.
