Helen Pun’s art practice explores the relationship between Art and Science through an examination of life experiences and ideas of representation. The interlinked, experimental research-based projects, examine how body movements and surface textures can be used metaphorically to explore the human condition as it experiences changes in space, time and health. The research circles around the idea of the temporality of our bodies, and is largely based on scientific investigation but explored through a fine art practice. Art methodologies and practices are employed to translate these findings and thoughts into metaphoric archetypes. Science and art naturally overlap – both involve ideas, theories and hypothesis that are tested in places where the mind and body come together.

The project “PULSATING ” was developed using a range of materials and processes including; digital prints, sculptures, installation and animation. It seeks to expose both the strengths and vulnerabilities of the human body and indeed the human condition. It draws on the often perceived, conflicting binary distinctions such as; desire and revulsion, and fear and fascination. Ultimately the project engages the idea of the body as a space of hope and resilience.

潘靜怡的創作研究是通過自身的經歷連合多種媒介及展現手法去探討藝術與科學的關係通過兩年的反覆思考及實驗 “脈動”的藝術創作將人體的脆弱及變化以不同的表現方式顯示藝術與科學的基礎相通 - 通過思考理論及假設作不斷的測試及引證

“脈動”的研究以多媒體表達箇中的體驗,包括電子媒體雕塑及裝置藝術最後以一動畫短片終結這個身體歷程以輕鬆的方式顯示我們身體所面對的挑戰以及對未來科技的期盼藉以挑動觀者的感觀情緒科技可以改變未來,思想亦能改變一切存在就是平衡
