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.

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.More on www.thelastsupper.asia

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.

Cambodian-based artist Khvay Samnang talked about Calling For Rain, a work that consists of a video installation but also multiple sculptures that are inspired by Reamker, the Cambodian version of the poem Ramayana. We talked about ecology and the impact of urban development, the critical role of animals in the Chang community and Stiev Selapak, an art collective committed to reevaluating and preserving Cambodian history as well as exploring the connections in visual practices that were disrupted by the civil war of the Khmer Rouge regime.
Khvay Samnang was born in 1982 in Svay Rieng, Cambodia. He graduated from the Painting Department at the Royal University of Fine Art in Phnom Penh, where he lives and works today. Khvay’s multidisciplinary practice offers new views on historic and current events as well as on traditional cultural rituals using humorous symbolic gestures. In his work, which includes all media, he focuses on the humanitarian and ecological impacts of colonialism and globalization. The development of each body of work is based on thorough research and investigation of local specificities, structures and conditions. Traveling is a crucial tool for his practice. Engaging directly and personally with local communities – within and beyond the cultural scene – is an integral part of his work, which makes it highly relevant, critical and connectable to various contemporary discourses. His work shows a remarkable ability to engage with cultural and geographic contexts as well as with spatial and institutional settings.

Taiwanese-based artist Chang Wen Hsuan discussed the roles of paper as a social movement and as a tool for activism, the challenge of normalisation, how a new generation appears to have a disembodied experience about current affairs in Taiwan and addressed her work the international suicide award.
The artistic practice of Chang Wen Hsuan questions the narrative structure of institutionalised history with re-readings, re-writing, and suggestions of fictional alternatives in order to expose the power tensions embedded in historical narratives. Through versatile platforms including installations, videos, and lectures, she often navigates skewed documentations and first-person accounts to trigger reflections on how the understanding of history affects the purport of the present and thrust of the future. In 2018, she launched the project Writing FACTory. Prizes and awards include the Taipei Art Awards(2018), Kaohsiung Awards(2015), and Lin Yutang Literary Prize(2012). She has presented projects in Taiwan, China, Korea, USA, Singapore, Germany, Mexico, etc.

I sat down with Cambodian-based artist Svay Sareth. We began our conversation talking about how the Blue Art Center provides free art education to children to become independent and find their own way, the impact of imagination, Sareth spoke passionately about his mission to preserve Cambodian’s artisanship and history for the next generation, and his performance work eat rubber sandals. We talked about Sareth’s experience of walking for 250 kilometres with a metal ball from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh and the amazing story how this work did not fit in the Singapora Art Museum, an UNESCO protected building.
Svay Sareth’s works in sculpture, installation and durational performance are made using materials and processes intentionally associated with war – metals, uniforms, camouflage and actions requiring great endurance. While his critical and cathartic practice is rooted in an autobiography of war and resistance, he refuses both historical particularity and voyeurism on violence. Rather, his works traverse both present and historical moments, drawing on processes of survival and adventure, and ideas of power and futility. More recently, Svay confronts the idea that “the present is also a dangerous time” through the appropriation and dramatization of public monuments that hint at contentious political histories.
Svay Sareth was born in 1972 in Battambang, Cambodia during a period of political turmoil and violence that would last until he was 18 years old. Svay began making art as a young teenager in the Site 2 refugee camp, near the Thai-Cambodian border. He describes life as a refugee as “a void nationality…a time and place you imagine escaping from.” Drawing and painting became a daily activity for Svay – a process of bearing witness to the psychological and physical violence that was an everyday experience, as well as a way to symbolically escape and dream of change. After the wars ended, 1994 Svay went on to co-found Phare Ponlue Selepak, a non-governmental organization and art school in Battambang that continues to thrive today.In 2002, the artist continued his studies in France, earning the Diplôme National Supérieur d'Études des Arts Plastiques / MFA in 2009, after which he returned to Siem Reap to live and work and 2019 he found Blue Art Center.

Cambodian-based artist Yim Maline talked from her place in Phnom Penh about her dream of becoming an artist, her experience of going to France without a grant and not being able to speak the language, we also delved into how nature informs her work, and we discussed why she began the Blue Art Center initiative.
Yim Maline’s artworks. From her meticulous graphite-on- paper drawings to her bold sculptures, her conceptual foundations have been a processing of memories specific to her childhood growing up amidst civil war in Cambodia, and a means to consider the complex effects of this period on the natural environment and individual and societal structures of today. Yim’s ambitious and skillful use of materials challenges our perception, while an inherent vein of uncertainty and tension challenges our comfort.
Maline was born in 1982 in Battambang, and is a graduate of Phare Ponleu Selpak art school (1995-2003) and received a BFA, Fine Art, École Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Caen la Mer, France (2010).

Architect turned artist Justin Hui sat down with me to talk about his journey into art that started in Africa, how globalisation is shaping cities in Africa and the rest of the world, the impact of colonialism and appropriation, the erosion of Hong Kong’s history, and we discussed the semiosis of imagery.
Justin started making images when he took a one-way flight to Africa back in 2014 to document Chinese infrastructure for a year. Since then, he has drawn on his practice in architecture to explore topics about land development, borders, globalisation, alienation, memory, and oneself. Besides photography, he works with zines, cartography, space, writing, and found material. He published his first photobook, New Territories, with Asia One in 2022. Trained in architecture at Cornell University, he’s a licensed architect who worked at Herzog & de Meuron and Office for Metropolitan Architecture.
