Could artificial intelligence be the next frontier for traditional Chinese ink drawing?  It may seem counter-intuitive to let a robot interpret such a human-oriented artistic style, but this is exactly what acclaimed Hong Kong artist, Victor Wong, is doing to help bring ink art to a whole new level.

On December 1, a live-streamed Conversation with Victor Wong was hosted by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in San Francisco.  At the webinar, San Francisco-based art curator Christine Duval talked with Victor about the relationship between art and technology, and how integrating high-tech multimedia into long-established Chinese art forms may create unprecedented breakthrough.
