Blind Men and An Elephant: On Wholeness and Fragmentation

Activity: Conference/talk/lecture/symposium/speech/workshop, etcEvent organized by non-HKBU units

Description

This discussion explores the interplay between art, technology, and perception, drawing on the parable of the blind men and the elephant. As fragmented perspectives shape our understanding of reality, technology further mediates and redefines what we perceive as "truth." Through critical artistic practices—from historical reinterpretation to digital innovation—participants investigate how art challenges representation, disrupts conventional narratives, and fosters new forms of collective meaning-making.

By bringing together artists and technologists, this talk encourages reflection on how individual experiences, cultural histories, and evolving technologies intersect, shaping how we see and engage with the world.
