HKAPA School of Film and Television Digital Media Design Graduation Exhibition 'KICK' 2026

Highlights

'KICK' is the annual graduation exhibition of the Digital Media Design stream from the HKAPA School of Film and Television. This exhibition serves as a profound dialogue about self-exploration and creativity. By weaving together Artificial Intelligence (AI), projection mapping, hand-drawn art, animation, cinema, sound design, and light installations, the exhibition creates a multi-dimensional sensory space that challenges traditional viewing boundaries.

Program Introduction

The core theme of this graduation exhibition revolves around the internal struggle of creators when facing confusion and uncertainty. The exhibition design intentionally merges the digital and analog worlds. Upon entering the space, visitors will find that the walls are not mere static backgrounds, but fluid canvases transformed by projections. Numerous interactive installations invite visitors to participate in the artistic process, effectively blurring the line between the viewer and the creator.

Beyond visual impact, the exhibition employs rich soundscapes and lighting effects to create an immersive cinematic atmosphere. These works deeply reflect the nuanced observations of contemporary creators navigating emotional landscapes, environmental pressures, and the creative challenges of the digital age.

Venue & Access

This year's exhibition is hosted at the Experimental Theatre of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in Wan Chai. The venue offers the flexibility required to house these diverse digital artworks and interactive experiences. Visitors can reach the Academy easily by MTR via Wan Chai or Admiralty stations.
