SWaitse Blog: Interaction

This is an exhibition celebrating the 10th anniversary of the partnership between the Hong Kong Art School and the School of Art, RMIT University

According to Wikipedia, interaction is a kind of action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another. The idea of a two-way effect is essential in the concept of interaction, as opposed to a one-way causal effect.

The theme of the exhibition is about the different roles and relationships between “the self” and “the other.”
1. Teachers and students: Apart from teaching and learning, teachers and students inspire each other from diverse backgrounds and different generations.
2. The art from Australia and Hong Kong: Through experience sharing and cultural exchange, artists broaden their vision internationally. The viewers are enlightened by the exhibition as well.
3. Different forms and media of art: Artists talk through their artworks in various ways. With distinguishing characteristic, the selected material also talks for the artist in a way how it is formed and presented.

Exhibition calls forth interaction between artists and viewers. It also encourages interaction among viewers. Interaction will continue until one meets the other, an insulator. Artists convert messages into their artworks, and viewers decode them and give various interpretations of individual artworks. Through communication among viewers, messages are further elaborated and possibly, transformed into new meanings.

Then, another exhibition may come along.
