Hu Rui and Huijun Lu explore the implications of emergent technologies, raising ethical and environmental concerns. In the fast-paced capitalism-driven AI development, might we ever predict and prevent financial crises? How can we balance technological progress with environmental care? Join Rui and Huijun in this online conversation, as they share their creative processes, recent reflections, and explore the roles and responsibilities of artists in navigating these complex issues.
This conversation will be moderated by curator Lenette Lua.
*Please note that conversation will be hosted in English.

About Hu Rui
Hu Rui works with videos, installations, and computer simulation. His practice engages with issues around temporality from a multitude of variables, including causality, prediction, choice, and language. He is the recipient of the Best Experimental Animation Award at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival and a Jury Special Mention at the 25FPS Festival Croatia. He is an Assistant Professor in Computation and Design at Duke Kunshan University.
About Huijun Lu
Huijun Lu works at the intersections of art, music, engineering and computing. Lu’s practice culminates in kinetic installations, sculptures, moving images and soundscapes. Consistent in the works are mechanisms and circuits that examine the function of objects, observations about the unnoticed in our environments, and technology’s role in mediating relationships with our surroundings.
