Ep.61 | Artist Wong Pak Hang, Samson on mortality in the virtual world, crime scenes, life after death, and boredom.

On this episode of The Last Supper, I travel to Fanling in Hong Kong to meet with the artist Wong Pak Hang, Samson. During our discussion, we explore three projects: Life Objects, Commuting Talking, and Screen Slavers. In addition, we delve into his intrigue with mortality in the virtual realm, his utilisation of photographic crime scenes, and his musings on boredom during commutes. Wong Pak Hang, Samson (b. 1995) lives and works in Hong Kong.. He obtains his Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Wong expresses himself through digital and 2D mixed media, including photography, video, painting, and installation. The content of works is related to modern life and habitation. He believes art can represent humanistic concerns, pointing outwards toward civilization, and inwards toward fundamental humanity. Recently, he was awarded WMA Sponsorship Recipient - FotoFest, the ‘2046 Fermentation + Fellowships’ by Para Site in 2022 and the 'New Light Exhibition Scheme' by Lumenvisum in 2020 and shortlisted for the 24th ifva Awards (Media Arts category) in 2019.
