Weaving the Ocean, an ongoing creative project launched by Indonesian artist Ari Bayuaji, has travelled to numerous locations worldwide and was invited to show at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the US as part of the famous RiverRun Art Festival from April 4 to 16. The project, started in 2020 and was exhibited at Nunu Fine Art Taipei in 2021, involves collaboration of the artist and local residents in Bali, Indonesia. They collect plastic waste along the coast, cleaning and processing it, weaving it into warm pieces of art. This project is not only environmentally sustainable but also established a resilient community during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This year's "Rencontres Internationales Paris / Berlin" will be held in the Louvre, the Grand Palace and the Pompidou Centre in Paris, France. As the European benchmark video art platform, "Rencontres Internationales Paris / Berlin" is dedicated to the contemporary practice and critical reflection of moving images. Filmmakers, contemporary / digital artists, scholars, guest curators, supervisors of cultural Institutions and of emerging organizations will gather together, using multiple forms of participation such as debates, round tables, forums, project-based creations, etc., in an attempt to construct a polysemous performance towards the educational turn, as a vagrancy of heterogeneous media which is open to the public. 

Hsu Che-Yu, the Taiwanese artist who won the ”HUGO BOSS Asia Art Award for emerging Asian artist” in 2019, is more honored to be invited to exhibit his work “Single Copy”. He hybridized the image projection with the sculptural form, and used his unique and ridiculous representational method to convey the alienated visual language, and further performed the open interpretation of social events and artistic events.
