The development of art technology plays an important role for art and cultural institutions. Not only does it introduce new forms of expression into various artistic medium, it also transforms the audience's experience of engaging with art, culture, and heritage sites.
In conjunction with the exhibition FLASH! The Palace Museum - A Pop-Up Digital Experience, the latest edition of Tai Kwun Conversations explores the objectives, practices and outlook of cultural institutions using art technology to promote traditional Chinese culture. The discussion will be based on the exhibition, focusing on its curatorial concepts and thought processes. It will also examine how the integration of art tech, history and culture can create new possibilities and enhance the audience’s connection to traditional culture from the perspectives of theater and cultural education.
The event will be conducted in Putonghua, with simultaneous interpretation into Cantonese and English.
