Playful Virtuoso in New Media Arts
|
Daito Manabe, one of the most highly regarded among new media artists in Japan today. In March 2008, he came to Hong Kong to partner with local music artist Ho Shan@Pixel Toy on a video and sound performance at the 13th ifva Festival. The next year, he was invited to take part in the opening show at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria, which received rave reviews and put his name on the world map. Since then, he has become a fixture at various international arts festivals as well as a much soughtafter collaborator for world-famous brands. The Nike Music Shoe is among his most famous creations.
Manabe is noted for the many outlandish ideas that he incorporates into his works, which masterfully utilise new media to bring forth new experiences for the audience. With this revisit to Hong Kong, Manabe will showcase his media installations for the first time with UV Laser Fade Out (2010), which features breathtaking laser projections, as well as Face Tracking (2011/2013). |
