SUMMARY:Aphrodite in Miniature and the Embodied Figurine
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nAphrodite in Miniature and the Embodied Figurine \n\n\nDate: 6 December 2023 (Wednesday)\nTime: 4:00-5:30pm \nVenue: CPD 3.16\, The Jockey Club Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Ryan Ho\, PhD candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nThis project introduces a selection of miniature Graeco-Roman figurines of Aphrodite/Venus\, from the Late Classical and Hellenistic periods and combines both formal and contextual approaches to studying these objects with more recent theories of embodiment in classical art history. As “embodied objects” of handling\, these figurines intimately engage with and invite a direct process of sensory engagement with the viewer/handler in their use. They encourage and respond to fantasies of sculpted objects transformed into living\, conscious subjects capable of possessing an animated agency in relation to those who use them. By examining these cult figurines in their original contexts and in these “embodied” terms\, this project aims to reconsider and interrogate ancient and modern engagements with this material genre and explore the ways in which their appeal to tactility serves as evidence for the importance of haptic modes of image-making and viewing in Graeco-Roman visual culture.  \nSpeaker\nRyan Ho is a second-year PhD candidate in the Department of Art History at The University of Hong Kong. He has a background in Art History and Visual Arts\, receiving his MA from The University of Hong Kong and BA from The University of Chicago\, respectively. As an independent researcher\, digital developer\, and multidisciplinary creative\, Ryan has executed projects for a wide range of academic and cultural institutions\, startups\, and global brands alike.

SUMMARY:The Empire of Paper
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nThe Empire of Paper: Pictures of Chinese Papermaking Made in Late Imperial China and Their Social Lives in Early Modern World\n\n\nDate: 16 November 2023 (Thursday)\nTime: 5:00-6:20pm \nVenue: CPD 1.44  Room 10.28\, 10/F\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Summer Xiaomin Wen\, PhD candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nMy research investigates a series of Chinese papermaking album produced in Qing China and traveled to France throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. These albums entail a consecutive program of step-by-step scenes\, each of which dedicates to a specific procedure of producing bamboo paper. Despite their shared thematic focus on bamboo papermaking\, many identical technical procedures demonstrated in the scenes\, these albums take on distinct artistic languages. The variety of these albums nicely exemplify the visual diversity of pictures of papermaking produced in later imperial China while each of the albums captures its dynamic relationship with respective historical context. The intersection of art\, culture\, and technology embodied in these papermaking picture albums offers a fascinating lens through which to examine the history of technology\, labour production in both Qing China and France\, and Sino-European interaction in the early modern world.

SUMMARY:Innovations in studying the past with technology
DESCRIPTION:Talk from the School of Humanities on Technological Innovations in Archaeology\nDate: 21 September 2023 (Thursday)\nTime: 2-3pm\, 6-7pm (both sessions are the same\, so you only need to attend one)\nVenue: Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing One\, LED Wall and Brainstorming Area (LG/F)\nSpeakers: Dr. Peter Cobb and RPG students\, School of Humanities\, Faculty of Arts\, HKU\nRegistration: Required. (CLICK HERE)\n \nTechnology is increasingly important in studying humanities topics such as archaeology. HKU helps lead a collaborative fieldwork project in Armenia every summer where we are excavating a fortress from 3\,000 years ago. This field project is a laboratory for experimenting with various technologies including 3D modeling\, databases\, augmented reality\, virtual reality\, machine learning and many other technologies. \nIn this talk\, we will introduce some of our past engineering experiments and our ongoing projects. All participants can join us in developing new technological solutions that can facilitate our fieldwork in the future. Participating students may also get a chance to join us in Armenia next summer! \nThese talks are open to all!

SUMMARY:Desperately Seeking Lauren
DESCRIPTION:This talk is co-organised by M+ and Hong Kong Arts Development Council.\n\nDesperately Seeking Lauren: Yeewan Koon in Conversation with Angela Su\n\n\nDate: 16 September 2023 (Saturday)\nTime: 2-3:30pm\nVenue: The Forum\, M+\nRegistration: Required. (CLICK HERE)\nSpeakers: Dr. Yeewan Koon and Ms. Angela Su \nIn response to her 2022 Venice Biennale presentation\, Angela Su produced an installation of more than 400 items on loan from the archives of Lauren O at the Esalen Institute in California. However\, very little is known about this enigmatic figure who was arguably involved in a 1967 plan to levitate the Pentagon in protest of the Vietnam War. Who is Lauren O? How is this obscure levitator from 1960s America relevant to the world that we live in today? \nSu\, together with Dr Yeewan Koon\, who has conducted extensive research on Lauren O\, will take a deep dive into the counterculture of the 1960s in the US. Their conversation will cover the confluence of social movements\, psychedelics\, supernatural and popularisation of technology that gave rise to a fascinating era of change and infinite possibilities. Through Lauren O’s cosmological views and her vision of the future\, one could also make sense of Su’s own practice\, in particular\, her fascination with worldbuilding.
