Lam Kin Lam
Lam Kin Lam is a Hong Kong percussionist and sound artist. Through the use of DIY instruments, improvisation, sound installation, audio-visual performance, and composition, he seeks to expand the possibilities for his musical practice as well as to explore the application of sound in different fields. His work investigates the intersection of sound, light, electronics, and visual media. In recent years, he has delved into the intersection between sound, light, and technology to create new works, adding elements such as indeterminacy and randomness to his works. He enjoys the unpredictability that results from interacting with his works in environments and situations not fully under his control.
Lam holds a Master's degree in Fine Art (Sound Art) from School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a Bachelor’s degree in Percussion Performance from Sam Houston State University.
Lam Yip

Law Yuk Mui
Law Yuk Mui graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). She is a co-founder of the artist-run organisation Rooftop Institute (2016-2022).
Using image, sound, and installation as her mediums of preference, and adopting the methodologies of field study and collecting, Law regularly intervenes into the mundane space and daily life of the city, capturing the physical traces of history, psychological pathways of humanity, marks of time, and political power in relation to geographic space. In the process of digging beneath the surface, she recovers narrative fragments and micro histories. She is also sensitive to remnants in the art-making process and finds imaginative ways to re-use and reactivate these items.
Law was shortlisted for the Foundwork Artist Prize in 2021 and received the award for Young Artist (Media Art Category) from the Hong Kong Arts Development Awards and the Excellence Award (Media Art Category) at the 23rd ifva Awards in 2018.
