Digital art exhibitions offer new view
Print Edition
THE city’s rare art center focusing on video, Chronus Art Center, is holding joint solo exhibitions featuring Jeffrey Shaw and Hu Jieming.
Born in 1957 in Shanghai, Hu is a pioneer of digital media and video installation art in today’s China.
For more than two decades, he has created and experimented using various media including photography, video and digital interactive technologies.
For this exhibition, Hu brings “Tai Chi with Overture.” His intention is to illuminate the boundaries between the “passing by” and the “going on” and by doing so setting viewers free from the chronological way of seeing historical events into a more accidental reconstruction.
The eye-catching piece is a major retrospective of the AVIE (the Advanced Visualization and Interaction Environment) system. AVIE is the world’s first artistically conceived 360-degree stereoscopic interactive visualization and audio environment. Shaw, a leading figure in new media art, created this and has done research to embody new forms of creative content and interactive and immersive experience opportunities. The exhibition features art that Shaw built for the AVIE in collaboration with other artists.
