Against the backdrop of a fast-advancing technological world, we are delighted to have Professor Yike Guo, Vice-President (Research and Development) cum Dean of HKBU’s Graduate School, as the keynote speaker of the plenary session to give us some insights on the convergence of arts and technology which has ushered into a new era of art technology (Art-Tech), disrupting how humans create, receive, and respond to arts and culture.
