Kit Lee’s new media art exhibition “Floating World” is her first solo exhibition, organised by the Macau Art For All Society, and is one of the 2020 annual exhibitions projects: “New Generation – New Media” – Art Exhibition Series part I for emerging artists. Kit Lee was born in Macau.
She graduated from the Department of Mass Communication at Tamkang University in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree. Then she went to Taiwan again in 2011-2013 for her master’s degree. In 2014 she returned to Macao to work while writing her thesis. In 2016 she graduated from Tainan National University of the Arts, Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts. Since her return to Macau, she has been working in multimedia design.
During her studies in the Department of Communication, Kit Lee began to study and apply media and video art. Her early works were mostly experimental video art, including information dissemination and popular culture topics, animation production and post-production of video. Compared to the rough texture of the informational images obtained on the mass media, she is also fascinated by the beauty of flowers.
Since 2016, she has started a series of flower artworks. Kit Lee uses 3D software to construct the shape and movement of flowers. Post-production software produces “effect in water”. Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) refers to images generated using computer algorithms, referring mainly three-dimensional images that simulate reality and natural forms. The instructions in the algorithm describe a calculation that can be performed from an initial time when executed.
The state and the initial input (may be empty) starts, and after a series of finite and clearly defined states finally produces the output and stops at a final state, then loops, and starts again and again. The characteristic of this kind of work is its emptiness. Compared with the “reality”of everything in the world, the flowers of emptiness of Kit Lee are untouchable, and there is only silence in a dark profundity.
