John is an artist, a troublemaker, and a Mr.Nobody. He wanders between art and science without boundaries, looking for new possibilities lying under the intersection area. His artworks take different forms, including but not limited to text, sound, video, net art, software art, generative art, and installation.
John obtained a Bachelor of Art and Science degree with the highest GPA from School of Creative Media, Hong Kong, in 2022. He also holds a MA Contemporary Art Practice degree from the Royal College of Art, London. He has shown his works in several museums, galleries and festivals in Hong Kong and the UK, including Tai Kwun (HK) and Tate Modern (London).
Datarium is a series of generative animation/video installations. In this series, I imagine a digital world (digital world #05A35) inhabited by digital creatures. Many portals, some of them appear to be screens and some of them look like everyday objects, bridge the gap between our reality and the digital domain. Each portal offers a unique glimpse into specific areas of the digital world, revealing diverse ecosystems teeming with digital life forms.Datarium is the result of a series of extensive studies on diverse natural ecosystems, especially aquatic ones. It is a re-interpretation and re-imagination of the world we occupy, an exploration of alternative forms of organisms, and a question of the essence of life.
