The reception featured a panel discussion themed "China's Intangible Cultural Heritage Meets Global Audiences: The Role of Art Tech". Speaking in his remarks, the Deputy Director of HKETO Berlin, Mr Billy Leung, highlighted Hong Kong's role as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange.
"Hong Kong has been a unique cultural melting pot of East and West, thanks to its extensive international connections and large-scale arts and cultural facilities. We are proud to showcase outstanding creative work from Hong Kong with global peers, promoting our city's diverse artistic vocabularies," said Mr Leung.
This year's Munich Biennale showcased ARCHE, an applied research art tech project funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission. The project was developed by composer Professor Eugene Birman of the Academy of Music at Hong Kong Baptist University and stage director Dr Katharina Schmitt, and was commissioned by the City of Munich, combining elements of kung fu and opera. The work was created with references to various kung fu films and wuxia novels.
