Speakers description:

Choi Kit Wang | Architect

Choi Kit Wang’s work explores the relationship of space and time - the ever-changing city fabrics, the cause and effect on the built environment. Choi and his team’s work is notable for the methodology of carrying out time & space exploration with the use of a diversity of media animations, films, installations, exhibitions - and means of material - paper, concrete, electronics, smoke, light, air - to express architectural ideas without the presence of architecture, in which the boundary of the natural, the social and the artificial is blurred.


Choi Sai Ho | Multimedia Artist and Composer

Choi Sai Ho’s work “Signals" was chosen by Sónar Calling to be part of a message sent 12.4 light-years to planet GJ273b. "Space Within Space" is exhibited at Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre in 2019. Sai-Ho was invited by the Hong Kong Institute of Architects to exhibit two works "Move (extended version)" and "Map Dealers" at the Hong Kong exhibition for London Festival of Architecture at The Building Centre, UK.
