Cyborg

Topic:Cyborg Student name:Mak Hoi Ying Student number:60174231 Cyborg Imagine walking down a dark street at night, when suddenly you hear the echo of metallic footsteps in the shadows. A figure that looks human slowly approaches, its eyes glowing red—this is the classic scene from The Terminator . This is no ordinary person, but a cyborg: a being that is half human, half machine. Cyborg stories often begin this way—both familiar and strange, both fascinating and frightening. They blur the boundary between human and machine, forcing us to rethink what it truly means to be “human.” The Terminator The Terminator The film’s story is set in the future, where artificial intelligence systems have taken control of the world and send a cyborg assassin back in time. This assassin appears human on the outside but hides a ruthless mechanical skeleton within. His mission is to kill the mother of the future leader of the human resistance. At the same time, the resistance sends a warrior back to prot...

Passage In  Passage , I witnessed the main character meeting a partner and walking through life together. Over time, their appearances changed—one grew white hair, the other became bald. Later, the partner passed away, leaving the character to continue alone until he eventually died as well. This experience made me feel the fragility of life and the value of compani...

sound artist Yasunao Tone

 Topic:  the practice of sound artist Yasunao Tone Student name: Mak Hoi Ying Student number:60174231 Yasunao Tone ( 1935–2025 ) was an avant-garde artist from Japan . His works often challenge our ideas of what “music” and “art” can be. In 1997, he released Solo for Wounded , a very representative album that used a special method to create unique sounds. Born in Tokyo, Tone studied Japanese literature and wrote on Dada and Surrealism. In the 1960s, he joined groups such as Group Ongaku and the Neo-Dada Organizers , using noise, chance, and intermedia performance to embody the radical spirit of postwar Japanese avant-garde art. After moving to New York in the 1970s, he collaborated across dance, video, and sound, performing at experimental spaces like The Kitchen and PS1. His work consistently emphasized destruction, chance, and cross-disciplinary practice, making him a pioneer of sound art and glitch music. 《Solo for Wounded》 source: Solo for Wounded Solo for Wounded ,...

Wafaa Bilal’s Domestic Tension

圖片
Topic: Wafaa Bilals Domestic Tension  Student name: Mak Hoi Ying Student number:60174231 Wafaa Bilal's work creates a unique ethical battleground where the digital world intersects with physical reality. His artistic practice not only challenges the boundaries of traditional art, but also opens up disconcerting spaces for reflection in the blurred zone between virtual and real. I'm particularly fascinated by how he uses his own body as an artistic medium. This is not just a symbolic gesture, but a genuine offering of his flesh and blood to the operation of the artistic mechanism. In this process, viewers are forced out of their comfort zone, transforming from passive spectators into participants who must make moral choices. source:  Domestic Tension Domestic Tension is a work that left me unsettled for a long time. Bilal spent thirty days and nights in a Chicago gallery, while viewers on the other end of the internet could shoot paintballs at him with a simple mouse click...

The Art of Stephanie Dinkins

圖片
Topic: The Art of Stephanie Dinkins Student name: Mak Hoi Ying Student number: 60174231 Stephanie Dinkins is a transmedia artist from the United States whose work blends technology, storytelling, and social engagement. She is deeply interested in how artificial intelligence shapes social structures, especially in terms of gender and racial representation. She questions whether technology can truly reflect diverse cultures and works to create space for marginalized communities within tech narratives. Her art often draws from family memory and community experience, using technology to spark gentle yet profound conversations. What draws me to Stephanie Dinkins is her focus on AI, gender, and equity. She doesn’t make cold, technical art—she uses technology to tell human stories, especially those that are often left out. She shows me that AI isn’t just code; it can carry memory, emotion, and culture. Her work makes me think: if tech is the future, how do we make sure everyone is seen...

The art of Jeffrey Shaw

圖片
 Topic: The art of Jeffrey Shaw    Student name: Mak Hoi Ying    Student number: 60174231 Artist Jeffrey Shaw works primarily in interactive media and virtual environments. I am interested in the immersive, participatory, and spatial aspects of his work, because of how they challenge the traditional way we experience art and storytelling. For my research this week, I focused on Extended Virtual Environment (EVE) , which he made in 1993. This work deals with the subject of perception and control, in a way that resonated with me. I am particularly drawn to it because it allows the viewer to become part of the artwork, not just someone who watches from the outside. Extended Virtual Environment (EVE) (source:http://www.medienkunstnetz.de/works/eve/) Extended Virtual Environment(EVE) (souce:http://mycours.es/gamedesign2016/presentations/art-in-virtual-reality-first-wave/) I observed that the work contained a large inflatable dome, with stereoscopic projections...

The paintings of Pieter Schoolwerth

圖片
Topic:   The paintings of Pieter Schoolwerth Name: Mak Hoi Ying Student ID: 60174231 Pieter Schoolwerth is an artist who mainly works with layered paintings. He mixes digital images, 3D models, and painting together. I like his work because it shows how digital images change the way we see people and space, and how the body looks broken apart when it goes through screens and software. Your Vacuum Blows, Which Sucks   （source：https://sl.bing.net/im79swU0Gq） This week, I looked at his painting Your Vacuum Blows, Which Sucks (2019). It really caught my eye because it feels like a picture that is half real, half digital, almost like when a photo glitches or looks blurry after compression. The bodies in the painting look like they were cut out from different files and then stuck together, which makes them look unstable and strange. I also noticed that he uses flat, pixel-like colors mixed with transparent figures. For me, this looks like what happens when a digital image loses its ...
