Hong Kong’s reputation as a world-class place, with a stunning array of festivals and performances, along with a sophisticated and lively nightlife, is well-deserved.  It’s been honed over time by some of the best minds in the world, working to make it a place where arts and culture can thrive along with a very lively local economy.  Hong Kong is truly one of the powerhouses in the world today, and has something to offer everyone.  It has attracted artists and intellectuals for generations, and it always seem to be on the move, looking further into the future than anyone could imagine.  This is also true for the lodgings, and for some of the world’s best hotels, Hong Kong is where it all begins.

There is a sense of hospitality here that is simply amazing.  It is gorgeous and welcoming, and very careful not to intrude, allowing you to find your comfort zones.  You’ll certainly find a place of comfort in this place, and an enormous sense of rejuvenation.  The amenities are superb, and are designed to offer you the sense that you are being taken care of.  It’s a great way to begin any day, and here it’s the beginning of a new adventure.  Hong Kong has always been on the cutting edge in so many different areas, and art and technology are two of these that are becoming more joined at the hip these days.

One of the hippest joiners is Hong Kong artist Bryan Chung.  He’s a lecturer at the School of Creative Media, and his work and life are very interesting indeed.  He has a degree in computer science that got him some government jobs, and the call of inspiration kept pestering him, and he returned to get a degree in interactive media.  This turn in life direction is very fortuitous for the arts community, because his work is very intriguing, and suggests new directions for the forms he’s working in.  One of his latest projects, for the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, is an installation where the viewer’s own body sets off different video segments, and their movements can alter how the video plays.  This kind of interactive work is exceptionally necessary in an art world where we are starting to pay attention to each other again, and moments such as these give amazing glimpses into the nature of who we are right now.
