Artifactual Exploration – A Kinetic Art Exhibition by Joseph Chan
Visual Arts

Description
Description
What is “kinetic art”? In our daily lives, we only see machines as tools, for instance watches display time and pens write. In what way can “machines” relieve the burden of purposes and be perceived as “art”?
In this exhibition the artist presents his kinetic sculptures. He attempts to design machines that are free from purposes and illustrate the very essence of themselves, therefore presenting the true nature of “machines” to the audience.
Through the intriguing shapes, delicate mechanisms and motions, these pieces aim to arouse curiosity, and provide an immersive experience to allow the audience to rediscover the pleasure of exploration.
