Join us for an Artist Talk with Takashi Horisaki and Closing Reception, to discover how art intersects with the digital age in a history of intertwined colonialism with various art forms. Renowned for his exploration of identity and perception, as well as his delicate crafting hands, Horisaki delves into how social media platforms like Instagram shape the way we see and are seen. With our attention spans shrinking and images dominating the way we communicate, Horisaki’s work questions what it means to truly look in contemporary culture. His practice examines how fleeting digital impressions affect our sense of identity, relationships and memory. From curated perfection to the ephemeral nature of social media stories, Horisaki challenges us to consider how these platforms influence our understanding of reality. This talk will offer insight into his creative process, the philosophies driving his work, and his reflections on the broader implications of visual consumption in the digital era. Perfect for art enthusiasts, creatives, and anyone curious about the intersection of technology and human connection. Moderated by Ann Shi, curator and program manager at H Foundation for the Arts, this talk is an inaugural series of The Roastery, an art incubator to create fresh perspectives for traditional motifs and mediums, in juxtaposition with the main gallery exhibition at H Foundation.
