***************************************************************

     The New Vision Arts Festival (NVAF) organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) will present a multi-arts concert, "Live‧Earth‧Space", produced by electronic musician and multimedia artist Choi Sai-ho in November, enabling audiences to explore the universe through electronic music and videos.
 
     Versatile in drawing inspiration from urban landscapes, big data, literature, anime, space and the universe, Choi has wielded a vast imagination and extended the artistic dimensions of his creations. In his upcoming programme, Choi will introduce both new music and key pieces. Apart from collaborating with new media artist Jason Lam and technical director Mick Yip, Choi will also perform two audio-visual pieces, "Dragon's Delusion Era" and "A Delusion", produced together with animation artist Kongkee and the production team of his award-winning animation "Dragon's Delusion".
 
     "Live‧Earth‧Space" is one of the programmes of the NVAF. It will be held at 8pm on November 18 and 19 at the Black Box Theatre of Kwai Tsing Theatre. A meet-the-artist session will be held after the performance on November 18.
