.:.: ifva x Adobe: ifva+ interaction
Starting with creativity and rooted in experience, ifva+ has been our all-time favourite, gathering visual artists to enlighten the young novices on their road of creations! This year ifva+ is especially featuring the theme of “interaction”. Despite of one-way demonstration and artists showcasing their own talent and experience, they will co-operate and do some “art-jamming” with audiences. Through different projects participants and artists will altogether undergo an exciting new journey!
Starts from November, ifva+ attracts famous top artists to share with us their insights, including innovative rap artists MC Jin, MV director Vernie Yeung, multi-media artist Keith Lam together with animation artist tamshui:\, who will provoke collisions between visual, music and media, while exploring the potentials behind.
