Visitors follow a pathway filled with a range of ideas and expressions, merging a world of animation, film, photography and graphic design – all in one. From motion-activated installations that you can interact with, to immersive LED projections and quirky screens and mirrors, as well as AI techniques, and GIFs on retro DVD players…it’s a superb thing to do for people of all ages.

Some artists include Saeko Ehara from Tokyo, Rinifish, designers Amanda Chong and Henry Hu, Indonesia’s Ardhira Putra, Helen Niu from the United States, and many more. Additionally, there’s displays by young talent from Yumin Primary School.
Definitely, a place to admire artworks or capture instagrammable pictures if that’s what you enjoy.
