Microwave International New Media Arts Festival 2008
“TRANSIENT CREATURES”
7th – 23rd November

Can Life be translated into a computer code?
Can a computer program produce Life?
Where is the line between Human and Machine, when technology is tangled up so intricately in our existence?
And what happens when technology starts blurring the line between Human and Animal?
Running 7-23 November 2008, Microwave International New Media Arts Festival will be exploring “life” in our technological age, under the title “Transient Creatures”.
As the ever-advancing technologies osmotically seep into our being, Festival 2008 aims to take a long, hard look at life technologies and biotech from the point of view of art.
“Transient Creatures” will bring artists/scientists from all over the world to Hong Kong, provoking deeper thought into issues that lie hidden in our society, while inspiring the city with extraordinary creative uses of today’s technology.
