Chinese Calligraphy
From Chinese brushes to Artificial Intelligence
LETTERS FROM THE UNIVERSE EXHIBITION
Shows the Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy works of Hilde Mertens and her search for what lies behind the brush strokes of 3,000 years of Chinese calligraphy, one of the oldest symbol systems in the world.
In the Letters of the Universe Series, she moves beyond the energy and fingerprints that are left by the traditional Masters, into a deeper layer of Chinese Daoist & Buddhist philosophy and beliefs around the ongoing changing nature of reality. To listen to the Universe is to see change happen and to understand a little of its emptiness.
ART PANEL: TIME TRAVELING, FROM CHINESE BRUSHES TO AI ART
Art is an endeavour of how humanity creates meaning today, while also looking forward into what the future might look like. Art goes to the heart of what it is to be human. Or not anymore?
Our moderator Annie Tsoi, Senior IP lawyer and Curator will lead a dialogue between Hilde Mertens, Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy artist, who explores 3,000 years of Chinese Calligraphy to redefine it in a new contemporary form, and Michael Whittle, GenAI Artist of the Orchid project and Assoc. Professor of the Faculty of Arts Humanity of the University of Macau.
You are invited to listen and share your thoughts on how our human minds are uniquely creative, how art is a space to give meaning to our experiences, can GenAIs be creative, and who owns what if technology gets involved?
