Chris Cheung (h0nh1m)

Chris Cheung (aka h0nh1m) is a media artist best known for installation art and audiovisual performance, whose artistic expression depends upon electronic, sound, image and creative technology in new media. Cheung’s reverence for Eastern and Western philosophy are central to his oeuvres, which he blends traditional ideology and futuristic imagination to create immersive soundscape, generative art and data art.

In 2014, he initiated the RadianceScape project which garnered critical acclaim and was featured in Ars Electronica, FILE Festival, EMAF and other international art festivals. The live performance was toured in Sónar Festival and WRO Art Biennale in 2017. The project won ZKM – Giga Hertz Awards in 2020 and a new commission work was completed in 2022. His contemporary calligraphy installation series No Longer Write – Mochiji were acquired by Hong Kong Museum of Art and Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts. InkFlux was selected in 24th Japan Media Arts Festival and collected by United Overseas Bank. Most recent works Ink | Pulse, Waving Script and Falling Tears are commissioned by M+, Hong Kong Palace Museum and Hong Kong Museum of Art respectively.

“The Flow Pavilion”, by artist Chris Cheung (widely known as h0nh1m), was created in collaboration with Tai Ping, and uses carpet as an innovative medium to blend elements of futuristic technology with traditional craftsmanship. A one-way glass structure modelled after a contemporary tea house is the centrepiece of this Zen Garden, installed at The Verandah. Within the tea house, a programmed kinetic sphere traces dynamic and intricate patterns on the carpet, reflecting the artist’s own brain waves during meditation. The all-encasing work provides guests with a multisensory experience that encourages a state of deep focus and tranquillity.
