Sensory Transcode – ARTS•TECH Exhibition Hong Kong Arts Development Council

Marshall McLuhan, the great master of media theory, often speaks of the second skin. In this Electronic Age, we do not use technology for what they are inherently; we use technology because there is no staying away from them in this world. They are everywhere, and are no longer mere tools or detached entities. They are our second skin. And when they are applied in art-making, artists often view them as part of their body.

With the technology of coding, artists can interconvert media from one to another, such as turning images to sounds, sounds to visuals, or formless data to sculptures. As this happens, our sensory perceptions are transplanted, or interconverted too. We can "hear" visuals, and "see" sounds. This is what we will find in the 7 pieces of trans-media artwork in "Sensory Transcode". Be prepared to switch your gear from unidirectional sensory pathways to ones that transcend senses. Senses are going to shift and and the world you are going to "see" and 'hear" might seem very different from the one you know.
