Tech-tonic shifts
Keeping in touch
Stay Connected: Navigating the Cloud is informed by the hope for finding positivity and meaningful connections at a time of uncertainty and growing cynicism — to which the internet contributes in no small measure.
"The internet can be an instrument for spreading the message of solidarity, just as it can isolate people," says co-curator and head of art at Tai Kwun, Li Pi. "When people take leave of each other, they often say, let's keep in touch though we may not be seeing each other in person. And that really is our hope for such a divided world."
He states that though the show features Chinese artists — some of whom are based overseas — its focus is on how "these artists reflect contemporary reality, and the human condition, not only in China but also the world over".
