How can age-old traditional art and emerging technologies be synthesized? The integration of the new and the old has been a much scrutinized and deliberated subject for long. "Hong Kong in Arts: Creative Arts Technology and Cultural Inheritance Programme for Gifted Students" is jointly organized by Centre for Learning Sciences and Technologies and the Art Museum of The Chinese University of Hong Kong as an attempt to respond to the question.
Four VA major students were selected to join a one-year training programme featuring diverse learning activities that offer knowledge and experience of ancient Chinese material culture and modern technological tools. Through the final art creation exercise, students reflected on and presented their exploration of the infinite possibilities in combining tradition with modernity. Their graduation showcase, titled “Antique Revival”, will be held in the Art Museum from 22 to 29 June, 2024. In the exhibition, you can see installation and moving images and artworks created by our students under the guidance of practicing artists.
