Moving Mario exhibited at AveCom 2008, Arnhem, Holland. The theme of AveCom this year is It's All in the Game. So it is very straight forward why Moving Mario in the exhibition!
It is also including another festival Square Eye Festival which is more focusing on video art. With the bar table in the venue, super cool team, you can feel, yes, this is the nation of freedom, with amazing people around.

Me and my best friend Marvin Hui work together and presented our work "His-story" (歷程) in Digital Archives Arts Festival (數位典藏藝術節 - 生命記憶的典藏)
"His-story" (歷程) using the photography master Mr.Lang Jingshan, exploring the relationship between the photos and text, creating a platform for audience to experience the creation of history and walking in the history.
It has 8 artist/group presenting 8 artworks in this festival. One of them is Takahiro Matsuo (松尾高弘) from Japan, just awarded in Laval Virtual 2008.
Me and my best friend Marvin Hui cannot stop working for more crazy works, that's why we create a platform for us to share anything about crazy media, including new media, culture studies, interface culture/revolution, etc. Of course, this is also a platform for us to announce our working-in-progress, may be a just-for-fun work, may be a very serious critical artwork, who knows!
