"The Ventriloquists: Thinking Narratively" exhibition series

Description

"The Ventriloquists" is a series of 2 on-site and on-line exhibitions, funded by the MF_EXT: Art and Science in Dialogue for the Humanities, an extension of an ITF awarded to the researcher.

The series was created in 2020 by artist-scholar Dr. Linda C.H. Lai to show the artistic experiments of BA students in Narrative Strategies (a core course for BACM students at SCM), with 64 works in 5 categories on-site at the Floating Projects (Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, Shek Kip Mei) and on-line at SCM's V+ virtual gallery. The 2021 edition returns to the Singing Waves Gallery with 36 works at the Singing Waves Gallery. The series aims to open up the discussion of why narrative concepts are central to artistic creation in a data-conscious milieu.

“The Ventriloquists: Thinking Narratively 2020-2021” is a sight-and-sound assemblage, a constellation of video dreamwork, thought paths as collage and montage sequences, visual analysis of well-known moving image works as pictograms, generative video and creative writing, and prototypes of game worlds.
