……………………………………………………………………………………………………. Two new work-in-progress pieces by media and sound installation artist Michael Yuen.
Michael is an Australian artist and curator based in Adelaide. His artistic practice centres around interactive installation traversing many artforms. Formally trained as a composer, Michael’s installation-based works use a combination of abstract sound, images, and experimental interactive technologies, in order to create artworks grounded in perceptual experience. Since 2003, he has been exhibiting regularly, facilitating masterclasses and workshops, guest lecturing at universities, curating new media exhibitions and serving on various boards. Most recently his work Swarm was shown at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in a joint exhibition with the Hayward Gallery. He has been the artistic director of Project 3 (2006 Adelaide Festival) and served on the Inter-Arts board for the Australia Council of the Arts (2006-7).
This is an Asialink project supported by Arts South Australia and the Australia-Korea Foundation
