Biografía
Lawrence LAU Hiu-Kong (劉曉江) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Hong Kong who specializes in sound, music, audiovisual media, and performance. He holds a Bachelor of Music degree in composition and electronic music and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Media from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and Hong Kong City University. His artistic practice encompasses sound art, diverse musical styles, theatre sound design, and performance art.
Lawrence's experimental approach playfully engages with the concepts of scoring and instruction. His instruction-based piece City Bow explores the power and infrastructure of urban landscapes through a musical bow, creating an interactive soundscape as he navigates through cities. Another notable work, Vanishing Continuation, investigates the process of generative score-making as a performance. This piece transcribes traditional notation alongside live video and audio elements, culminating in real-time generated paintings within a four-movement contemporary musical performance.
Active in media art exhibitions and festivals, Lawrence develops new approaches to combine music, sound, and technology. His collaborative audiovisual works have been presented at exhibitions, including Artechouse Live (Washington D.C)., Nxt Museum (Amsterdam), Intervals Festivals (Nizhny Novgorod), MUTEK (Japan & Montreal).
