Otto Ng is a young architect and technologist from Hong Kong who believes that contemporary art should incorporate technology and tell stories or explore ideas. He argues that Hong Kong society is currently too conservative and does not view art as for the public. In his own works, Ng focuses on upcycling materials and using technology like LED lighting for installations that are interactive and thought-provoking. His goal is to show how technology and contemporary art can push boundaries in Hong Kong's art scene.
