A.Style Art Platform proudly presents "The Maiden and the Hare", the latest interactive work and prints by HENRY CHU. In The Art of War, Sun Tzu uses the phrase "be as calm as a maiden, and as quick as a scurrying hare" to describe an army: silent and unmoving while waiting for the time to strike; swift in action in the right moment. Staying still, their movements are hardly noticeable, but when they act, they are extremely quick. When the viewer stand in front of a tripod and move their body to react with the work, their upper body will be captured by a kinect 3D sensor that interprets their gestures to visualize the idea of the 'maiden' and the 'hare'.
Born in Hong Kong in 1976, Henry Chu obtained his degree in Electronic and Electric Engineering from The University of Auckland, New Zealand. He is currently a member of the
executive committee of the Hong Kong Designers Association and of the board of directors of Videotage as well as a judge for the Favourite Website Awards. His works are well received locally and overseas and have picked up over a hundred awards, including the Favourite Website Award, awards from the Hong Kong Designers Association and from the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the HK4As Kam Fan Award and the London International Gold Award, and he has also earned recognition as one of Cutout magazine's "10 Best Interactive Agencies for Ideas". His iPad Music app Squiggle was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
