Two new work-in-progress pieces by media and sound installation artist
Michael Yuen.

Michael is an Australian artist and curator based in Adelaide. His
artistic practice centres around interactive installation traversing
many artforms. Formally trained as a composer, Michael’s
installation-based works use a combination of abstract sound, images,
and experimental interactive technologies, in order to create artworks
grounded in perceptual experience. Since 2003, he has been exhibiting
regularly, facilitating masterclasses and workshops, guest lecturing at
universities, curating new media exhibitions and serving on various
boards. Most recently his work Swarm was shown at the Australian Centre
for the Moving Image in a joint exhibition with the Hayward Gallery. He
has been the artistic director of Project 3 (2006 Adelaide Festival) and
served on the Inter-Arts board for the Australia Council of the Arts
(2006-7).


This is an Asialink project supported by Arts South Australia and the
Australia-Korea Foundation
