We frequently discuss the revolutionary impact of artificial intelligence (AI) as numerous entities, ranging from governments to corporations, rush to harness AI in various sectors like recruitment, policing, criminal justice, healthcare, product development, and marketing. Generative tools such as Chat GPT have also become a staple in our daily digital interactions. However, Ruhi Khan, a researcher at the London School of Economics (LSE) Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), casts a spotlight on a critical issue: despite the strides in AI, its embedded gender and racial biases significantly endanger women. Khan is championing a worldwide feminist movement to confront these challenges by promoting awareness, inclusivity, and regulatory measures. But does AI genuinely harbor ...

In a serene setting beneath a venerable tree, Pang shares, “We are akin to those blind men, yet simultaneously, we embody the elephant. Our multifaceted selves are pieced together through the varied perceptions and interactions of others.” Pang Jing, an artist of prestigious art schooling, has dabbled in an eclectic mix of media. After graduation, she ventured into life modelling, with a creative focus intensely orbiting the concept of “the body”. Pang epitomises the solitary artist, her oeuvre spanning painting, glasswork, fashion design, and photography, thriving in a realm dev...

From the dawn of time, the natural world has been esteemed as the “Mother of Nature”, a moniker that transcends simple designation to deeply affirm the intrinsic bond between women and the wild. This unique kinship, spanning the annals of time from archaic matriarchal societies to our contemporary era, is a recurring motif across diverse cultures and legends. In the rich tapestry of myths both in the East and the West, women have consistently been portrayed as custodians, healers, and creators of the natural realm. Take, for instance, Demeter in Greek mythology, consort to Zeus and the goddess of harvest and fecundity, who infused the earth with vitality and bestowed upon mankind the wisdom of agriculture. In Hindu lore, Parvati, the mountain goddess and sister to the Ganges deity, emb...

As the dawn of 2024 breaks, it brings to a close Marina Abramović's retrospective at The Royal Academy of Arts in London, a half-century culmination that epitomises a transformative era in Western performance art. Announced back in 2020, this collaboration heralded Abramović as the first female solo exhibitionist in the venerable 255-year history of the Academy. Originally envisaged as a retrospective, the exhibition, beleaguered by pandemic-induced postponements, evolved under Abramović's visionary guidance into a dialogue between her artistic epochs, challenging the very notion of retrospection. In the intervening years, a maelstrom of creativity and introspection swirled around Abramović. Boris Miljković’s 2020 film “Homecoming - Marina Abramovic and Her Children” offered a cine...

Once upon a time, in a quaint city known as the Culinary Paradise, there lived a chef. While the townspeople relished international cuisines, local ingredients remained underappreciated, with few taking pride in their regional produce. This chef pondered, “How can I arrange my work freely and connect genuinely with food?” She firmly believed in a lifestyle perfectly suited to her. Meet Chef Ling (Ng Suet Ling), born into a family of Chinese culinary heritage. Her father, a master of wonton and beef brisket noodles, watched as his daughter gravitated towards Western cuisine. Self-taught in baking, Ling first worked in a patisserie before apprenticing in Western cuisine, handling everything from starters and salads to desserts. Describing herself as a 'hybrid' chef, she ventured to the U...

In reality, Ding is a seasoned life model., reflects on the humour and positivity she has brought to the term “exhibitionist” (露體狂), once used in jest by friends. “It's about redefining a concept from a negative connotation to a positive light,” she shares. Would a world without the need for clothes be ideal? “The perfect state,” Siu Ding says, “would be where people on the street...

「女生女人同樣長不大／平衡多身份姿態／但被太少理解」 “Throughout my career, whether composing music or writing lyrics, I have always used my unique sensibility to articulate the identity of women. I’ve noticed that many works tend to adopt a male perspective on women,” says Vicky. She never saw herself as a typical woman, feeling strongly that inside her resides a man. “If I were to choose one of my more recent works that resonates deeply with the theme of womanhood, it would be Janice's 《我的視角》”. The 2022 concept album “DAUGHTER” deconstructs the theme of “female autonomy” from a woman’s perspective and is produced entirely by an all-female team. In 《我的視角》, Vicky chooses to eschew using any “he” or “she”, attempting to eliminate traditional stereotypes. In this era, everyone can define their own type o...

https://youtu.be/1xMcN4nwJ6k?si=HKw7jgCa00H_ALiS Upon observation, Vicky Fung possesses distinct traits: A relentless ambition A mind teeming with questions A fondness for sake During her studies, she grappled with the desire to pursue music and science, yet ultimately chose law. In her music career, she's crafted both pop songs and community music. Not content with just songwriting and composing, she dove into being a singer-songwriter. Yet, producing alone didn't satisfy her; she yearned to be an artist. She remarks, “In truth, I don't engage in anything solely for money.” But isn’t lawyering about financial prospects? She quips, “Law isn’t the most lucrative path. If I were after money, I’d turn to stocks or real estate.” A valid point. Music wasn’t chosen for mon...
