When Experience Returns Otherwise: first MA Graduation Show of AMC

​Featuring a diverse collection of artworks including moving images, installations, interactive systems, paintings, and screen-based pieces, When Experience Returns Otherwise explores the mediation and innovative expression of human experience through the integration of art and technology, as well as new possibilities for reshaping sensory perception and cognitive experience via contemporary media.

​Rather than fully restoring past experiences, the exhibition invites audiences to re-sense and reinterpret experiences through diverse media and contexts. The act of gazing reshapes the perception of faces; storytelling re-enacts individual memories; physical movements generate new visual traces; traditional cultural rituals are integrated into contemporary exhibition contexts; and the emotions and narratives carried by moving images linger long after viewing. Past experiences are no longer merely part of bygone time, but reappear and regenerate in new forms within the exhibition space.

​As the inaugural graduation exhibition of the Division of Arts and Machine Creativity (AMC) at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, this exhibition presents pioneering creative achievements stemming from the integration of aesthetics and technology. It also documents how a group of young creators explore innovative perceptual approaches through contemporary media, opening up new imaginative dimensions for the future development of technological aesthetics.
