Jonathan Liang – Looking Outwards – 08 – Creative Practice of an Individual

The work above is called Prismverse by Hong Kong media artist Chris Cheung. Chris is an artist who tries to integrate his artistic practice with his background in Chinese Philosophy. His work have common themes of integrating the traditional and the futuristic ideas as well as the aesthetics of technological intervention. Chris is currently the founder of an interdisciplinary creative studio called XEX, based in Hong Kong. Their work has been displayed all over Asia.

My personal favorite work of his is Prismverse. Prismverse is an installation that tries to immerse the viewer in infinity through sight and sound. Chris and XEX hoped that the diamond mirrors in the space would give the viewer a sense of the universe populated by infinite stars, and the omnidirectional speakers will present an ambient soundscape that immerses the viewer from all directions.
