Introduction

錄影太奇將藝術帶進人群，與ēpöch咖啡店合作，展出香港設計師及媒體藝術家Henry Chu的最新作品 - THE MOVING MAO。展覽主體是一個4米 x 2米的油畫般影像，影像會隨著人們的移動而扭曲變形、模糊化開、分身重疊，及幻化出其他更新的視覺體驗。

Videotage brings art to the people: joining forces with ēpöch coffee bar & desserterie in Wan Chai, we present Hong Kong Designer and Media Artist Henry Chu's newest piece. THE MOVING MAO is a large-scale projection of an object similar to a canvas; it changes shape as people move into a certain area with in the cafe space. Interaction through body movement causes the image to blur and distort.

Artwork descrpition:

Moving Canvas is an extension of my experiment Video Brush about converting body gestures to visuals through a video camera. The way how people move in front of the screen will manipulate this canvas and it moves correspondingly. Sometimes the canvas looks like a distorted mirror, sometimes it leave traces on the screen and create painting-like visuals.
Using the body gestures instead of a paint brush could be more expressive and more direct, it also require less skills, thus anyone could join the creation process.
