Microwave International New Media Arts Festival

Microwave International New Media Arts Festival 微波國際新媒體藝術節(Microwave)成立於1996年，是為國際同類型的藝術節先鋒之一。藝術節銳意把世界各地最前線的科技透過新媒體藝術、動畫及短片的模式帶來香港。

Microwave began in 1996 and has evolved to become the first and only art festival in Hong Kong dedicated to new media art. Microwave has steadily grown into a well-established festival that brings cutting-edge works to provoke thought in the technological hub every year. Apart from the grand annual festival, Microwave also endeavours to nurture a rising local new media arts community, organising v

arious programmes such as competitions, educational workshops, seminars, forums, exhibitions, and producing quality projects. Microwave will continue our hard work to inspire Hong Kong and the rest of the world with the cutting-edge media artworks we gather, while also avidly supporting the exchange and dialogue between artists, professionals, and the general public.


除了每年一度的藝術節，Microwave將繼續把世界各地的尖端新媒體的作品帶到香港，亦致力培育本地新媒體藝術團體，希望透過舉辦各種活動，如比賽，教育講座，研討會，論壇，展覽和其他高品質的項目，將香港市民和新媒體藝術拉得更近。

《In the Time of Hope 裂縫》企劃最終站: 《Artists with Tools 實驗修羅》
將於 2026 年 4月 18 日至 4 月 26 日 在香港賽馬會創意藝術中心舉行。本次展覽並非以傳統展覽的形式構想，而是一個實驗場 —— 將一個持續演變的過程呈現於觀眾眼前。它匯聚藝術家及創作人，以各自的媒介作為工具，去揭示、測試、轉化，並開拓承載情感與對話的空間。在這裡，工具不僅僅是技術性的裝置，更是情感的延伸、研究的方法，以及一種關懷的實踐。是次《Artists with Tool》把所有創作一次過呈現眼前，並作為 《In the Time of Hope裂縫》的最後一站；Microwave自2024年開始一直持續探討如何通過連結藝術與科技，能夠多關心情緒健康的命題，不止同行，我們還要學光，穿鏠過牆，留著對希望的希望。

“In the Time of Hope: Artists with Tools” will be held on 18 -26 Apr at Hong Kong Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre.
Artists with Tools: Experimental Asura is not conceived as an exhibition in the conventional sense, but as a testing ground — a process in continuous transformation. It brings together artists and creators who use their chosen media as instruments: to reveal, to test, to transmute, and to open spaces where emotion and dialogue may dwell. Here, tools are not merely technical devices. They are extensions of feeling, methods of inquiry, gestures of care. Artists with Tools gathers these evolving stages together, presented as the final chapter of In the Time of Hope. Since 2024, Microwave has been exploring how the convergence of art and technology might open new ways of caring for emotional well-being. So now, we do not merely walk alongside one another, we indeed learn from light — to pass through fissures, to move across walls, and to keep, within the fracture.
Let’s hope for hope itself.

微波呈獻 :《裂縫》
Microwave presents - In the Time of Hope

這裡面穿插了許多跨界合作，包括媒體藝術家林妙玲通過光學去呈現消失或被蓋掩的語境、動畫導演/畫家李鈺淇的手繪作品以及通過情緒追踪技術、由科技藝術家林志輝轉化的屏幕作品以至由香港美術指導/創作人張世宏以人工智能創作的短片。這些創作都不是憑空而來，共同點是策展人鄺佳玲 a.k.a. 作者鄺霏飛根據與香港青年協會合作的研究，為所有創作者提供了三篇短篇小說，以離散、詐騙、職場修羅的角度去談情緒與感受，並讓所有創作者進入狀態。每一件展品會在不同平台展示，以接觸不同的觀眾，線上平台更有網路廣播 (Podcast)及藝術家分享以提供更多的角度去理解作品以至通過結合藝術與科技去表達、療癒的可能性，尤其是共同創傷與後遺。

The project brings together multiple cross-disciplinary collaborations. Media artist Miu Ling Lam employs optics to reveal contexts that have been obscured or erased, and animation director and illustrator Florence Lee responds to emotional currents in short stories (developed from research with HKFYG) through hand-drawn works and tech specialist Jason Lam transforms collected emotional tracking data into screen-based works, allowing physiological fluctuations to shape visual rhythm. Last but not least, Hong Kong film art director and creator Silver Cheung produced a short film using artificial intelligence, exploring imagination and projection within technological environments towards the shared topic & concern.
These works did not emerge in isolation. Curator Joel Kwong — also known as writer Fei-fei Kwong — drew upon research conducted in collaboration with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG) and wrote three short stories for the participating artists & creators. Addressing diaspora, deception, and the battleground of contemporary work life, these narratives explore emotional states and lived experiences, offering each artist an entry point — a shared emotional ground from which to begin. Each work appears across different platforms, engaging diverse audiences. The online platform includes podcasts and artist conversations, expanding ways of understanding the works and exploring how art and technology might express — and perhaps tend to — shared trauma and its aftermath.

Microwave presents - In the Time of Hope

《In the Time of HOPE》不是天真樂觀的宣言。如果你曾經走過那條沒有盡頭的黑暗隧道，你會知道，陪著自己的只有自己。支撐你再走幾步的，不是確定的答案，而是那種近乎固執的信念——也許再多幾步，就會看見光。項目名稱中譯《裂縫》，正是對這種信念的回應：
「只要有一絲空隙，光就能滲入。裂縫不只是破損，它是入口。」
In the Time of HOPE is not a declaration of naive optimism. If you have ever walked through a tunnel without visible end, you know that the only companion you truly have is yourself. What sustains you for a few more steps is not certainty, but a stubborn belief — that perhaps, just a little further on, there will be light. The Chinese subtitle – the Crack (裂縫) responds to this belief:
Where there is even the slightest opening, light can seep through.

LAST CALL | 最後一天

”Walk Through Walls“ was never just about breaking through. It was always about learning to live with what surrounds us.

Together we’ve connected art and technology, built empathy, and asked the difficult question: who truly walks with us through the invisible walls?

Joel offers no simple answers—only an invitation:
Let‘s continue the journey, together.

「穿牆而過」從來不只是為了突破。更深層的意義，是學會與之共存。

與我們走到這裡，共同連結藝術與科技，在建立同理心的同時，追問著：誰又與我們共同穿越那度無形的牆？

策展人 Joel 沒有答案，只有一份邀請：讓我們一起，走下去。

📍香港大會堂展覽廳 | Hong Kong City Hall Exhibition Hall
🕛 中午12時開放 | Opens at 12:00

Curator’s Highlight | Pickles: to Ferment our Lives
作品推薦 | 酸瓜：發酵我們的生命

More than a tool—it’s an intimate journey inward.
In a world that moves too fast, ”Pickles“ invites us to slow down and turn fleeting thoughts & raw emotions into wisdom, much like the timeless art of fermentation.

不只是一款工具，更是一段向內的親密旅程。
在這個太快的世界裡，《酸瓜》邀請我們慢下來，將流動的思緒與原始情緒，緩緩釀成智慧——如同古老的發酵藝術，需要靜默與時間。

Curator’s Highlight | Grandma
作品推薦 | 奶奶

A playable memory in pixel art form. Step into ”Grandma“ by Zhou Yichen - share meals, take walks, and sit together in this retro-style game about family, presence, and the quiet ache of loss. When Grandma departs, her love remains in every object and scene. Not just a game, but an emotional landscape.

一部可遊走的像素記憶。步入周一忱的《奶奶》，在這款復古風格的遊戲中與奶奶一起吃飯、散步、靜坐，感受關於家庭、陪伴與失去的溫柔敘事。當奶奶離去，她的愛仍存於每一件物品、每一個場景。這不只是一款遊戲，更是一片情感風景。

實驗P場：我們都一樣

從「實驗A場」走到今天的「P場」，Project Room 一直是 Microwave 的實驗核心。這不是關於完成品，而是關於過程與開創。

今年，我們探討一個命題：我們都一樣History Will Repeat Itself。
通過與 的合作，將青年的情感心事化作文本養份。這些故事再由香港著名電影美術指導 張世宏 Silver Cheung 發展成視覺作品，並由動畫藝術家 李鈺淇 Florence Lee 轉化成手繪創作。

我們記錄了創作者的情緒數據，作為伏筆，這實驗將在未來一年繼續昇華。我們不一樣，但我們又真的一樣。

Project Room P: History Will Repeat Itself

From ”Project Room A“ to today‘s ”P,“ this has been the experimental core of Microwave. It’s not about final pieces, but the creative process itself.
This year‘s theme: History Will Repeat Itself.

In collaboration with , we transform youth emotions into textual stories. These narratives are reimagined by film designer Silver Cheung into visual works, and by animation artist Florence Lee into hand-drawn creations.

We’ve recorded the creators‘ biometric data as a starting point for this year-long experiment. We are different, yet we are truly the same.
