Resonance Aura – Astrolabe

EVENT DESCRIPTION

FutureScope, Hong Kong’s first large-scale art dome, continues to bring visionary ArtTech experiences to visitors with the launch of its second chapter, Resonance Aura – Astrolabe, at Kai Tak. From 30 January, the immersive experience invites visitors to explore sound, light, and movement within the dome. Conceptualised by Hong Kong media artist Chris Cheung (h0nh1m), alongside his media art collective XCEED, the second chapter presents a new interactive element, a mesmerising kinetic installation, Resonance Aura VI – Torquetum.

Following the success of Perpetual Records at FutureScope, Resonance Aura – Astrolabe invites visitors to reflect on their place in the world and the universe. The experience draws inspiration from the works of Hong Kong literary icon, Xi Xi (Ellen Cheung Yin), particularly Marvels of a Floating City (《浮城誌異》) and Imperial Astronomical Observatory (《欽天監》). The exhibition reflects on Xi Xi’s poetic vision of the cosmos and urban life, echoing her observation that “The starry sky is simply the starry sky, it knows no borders,” which serves as the guiding principle behind the exhibition.

The exhibition will be complemented by ticketed live performances, featuring world-renowned experimental vocalist Sainkho Namtchylak, known for her pioneering mastery of Tuvan throat singing (Khoomei).
