The Last Supper - Art in Asia Oscar Venhuis

- Arts
In a world where the spotlight often shines on Western contemporary art and its historical narratives, it's important to remember that Asia is home to approximately 60% of the global population. With this in mind, the purpose of hosting this podcast is to present alternative worldviews and foster a deeper appreciation for the richness and diversity of art across Asia. Every weekend a new episode is released, bringing new perspectives and engaging dialogues with emerging and established artists, curators, gallerists and collectors in Asia.

Ep.99 | Artist and researcher Marty Miller (PhD) on pictorial ontology, redefining the found image, AI hallucinations and human imagination, and how diffusion reinterprets Sham Shui Po.
I sat down with Dr. Marty Miller, a Hong Kong based artist and researcher. Our discussion spanned a broad range of topics, starting with an exploration of image ontology. We delved into Dr. Miller's research involving AI models and their ability to detect and reinterpret patterns in Sham Shui Po, a busy residential and shopping district in Hong Kong, and we explored AI hallucinations and human imagination.
Marty Miller (PhD) is a visual culture and technology learning researcher pursuing his PostDoctorate at CityU's School of Creative Media within The Studio for Narrative Spaces. His research notes how image-creation practices adapt to emergent technology and why this influence informs the meanings created. Specifically, found photography and technological literacy designs fuel his scholarly output, funded creative work, and integrated teaching practice.

Ep.98 | Artist Trong Gia Nguyen on appropriation, disassociation of materiality, distributed ownership of art, and selling his work on eBay.
Artist Trong Gia Nguyen discussed the role of appropriation in his work and how he dissociates himself from materiality. We also delved into the notion of distributed ownership and possession of art, the intricate relationship between physicality and virtuality and how he sold his work on eBay.
Trong Gia Nguyen is a multi-disciplinary artist currently based in Brussels, Belgium. Having also lived in Vietnam and New York City over the last 20 years, his wide array of works examines structures of power in their myriad forms, scrutinizing the soft foundation upon which contemporary life plays out, often behind the façade of fairness, sincerity, tradition, and civility. Regularly employing humor while at other times engaging sober reflection, Trong's work elevates the condition of doubt as it reveals and disrupts the undercarriage of our most trusted spaces - domestic, cultural, political, and economical. His work includes everything from iPhone applications to installation, film, painting, sculpture, performances, and web-based projects.

Ep.96 | Artist Serene Hui on meaning-making, the impossibility of communication in an unknown environment, and voice modulation.
Artist Serene Hui delved into meaning-making, the impossibility of communication in an unknown environment, the origins of scold, gossip and siren, voice modulation or how we understand voices within our body and how this impacts female leaders.
Serene Hui is a Hong Kong-born artist. Her practice is research-focused and multi-faceted, engaging primarily with installation, audio and live works, printmaking and text. Serene's work is involved in a discursive, artistic and political exploration of her own context, using the geographical distance from personal lived experiences to investigate the wider socio-political impact of how meaning is made and who has access to making it. Her practice is currently invested in epistemological colonialism for the ways it affects social structures, languages, psychology and its potential susceptibility for manipulation. In her works she addresses obscurity and nuances by creating an ontological shift of displacement - meaning to transform social conventions, normative ignorance, and language ambiguity into resistance, reflection and criticism of contemporary systems.
