When did you begin to do art, and why? - My first job was in the post-production section of a big broadcast station. I had to use special effects to make sure everyone looked great and sexy in a soap opera or create fake bullets and smoke on screen every day for 10 hours. Questions started to pop up in my head. I would daydream and make up stories in my head as a getaway from work. Writing was my first art experience. It then became my biggest hobby.
You live and work in Hong Kong. Do you think the place of residence is vital in today’s world? - I am a city person. I need physical excitement, inspiration, and stimulation from the surroundings that the internet cannot provide. The political status of a place and the freedom of speech etc., are also very important to an artist. Constantly traveling might be a better option, sadly not at this moment. I was moving between Airbnbs even when I was in Hong Kong before COVID hit. It was refreshing.
As a representative of the new digital generation, do you think your work represents the need for new aesthetic values? - I do not think my works are anything new, to be honest. As human beings, we are always hungry for something new. Maybe we do not know what we want until something fresh pops up. But how often do we experience anything new after growing up? I think the aesthetic nowadays is led by new technology. There might be nothing new about it but technology. There are differences.
