When the written word meets music and video, textual possibilities stretch further! The Writing Machine Collective’s Closing Party is the event’s highlight you wouldn’t want to miss! Text x Music x Video x Interactive Installation x SMS…– 4 Mediums, 2 Platforms, 2 DJVJs will mingle and collaborate with visitors to create a new experience of interactive play.

The Writing Machine Collective exhibition is only the beginning of a new form of digital art to take root in Hong Kong. Before the closing party, WMC’s curator, Linda Lai, will give a comprehensive overview on the conceptual and creative background to the Writing Machine event, titled “What is Writing Machine: hyper- and cyber-textuality,” also agenda-setting as well as invitation to interested writers to join.

當文字遇上音樂、錄像後,文字的可能性又再次擴展!

「文字機器創作集」閉幕派對,是這次展覽的必到推介!文字 x 音樂 x 錄像 x 互動裝置 x 流動短訊(SMS),四個媒體、兩個平台、兩個DJ VJ加上一群觀眾 ,將幻化成一個平台與媒體、觀眾與表演者的跨越互動演出,為你帶來一個耳目一新、震撼人心的晚上!

此外,「文字機器創作集」策展人黎肖嫻將為你解釋此次創作及展出活動的來龍去脈。這是首個在香港的文字機器公開講座,希望藉以令更多藝術家和作家,關注及意識到寫作、?事的更多可能性。我們展列的作品或者仍多似習作,有點初步,但這不過是起步。

想和一眾藝術家狂歡一晚?對數碼平台給文字創作打開的新天地有興趣,就不要錯過八月七日的「文字機器創作集」閉幕活動!

Closing Party 閉幕派對

Performers 演出單位:S.T., The Demos

S.T. X The Demos is the result of partnership of two music units, S.T. and the Demos, combining VJ and DJ into one single mission — S.T.Demos. Improvised, on-the-spot interaction via the cellular phone of audience to begin with, the live performance exploits the many possibilities of installation, texts and visuals in the original exhibition, to strike off new modes of interactions between machinic orchestration and the human bodies that participate…

S.T. 和The Demos 兩個獨立音樂單位化身成 S.T. Demos,變身成VJ及DJ的混合體,利用觀眾的流動電話作出即時的短訊互動,並配合自家創造的互動裝置,為文字和視覺作一次最跨越性的婚嫁,再將觀眾加上表演,令文字和其他媒體的互動能量無限擴大!
