Medium as Mutation

In this discussion, Cheng Huai will guide a conversation on how artistic mediums act as evolving forces that reshape perception, identity, and creative practice. The panel will delve into how media function as extensions of the artist—prosthetics that transform cognition, vessels that outlive their makers, and unstable grounds that invite risk and disruption. Together, the speakers will explore how scale, setting, and materiality influence meaning, and how artists navigate these shifting terrains in a constantly mutating landscape.
