About the Video
Lawrence Lek uses video game software and CGI animation to develop digital environments as ‘three dimensional collages of found objects and situations. By rendering real places within fictional scenarios, his digital environments reflect the impact of the virtual on our perception of reality. His VH AWARD proposal, "Black Cloud" (2021), is the culmination of an ongoing body of work that explores the geopolitical implications of AI to bridge between popular culture and critical discussions on technology.

About the Program
The VH AWARD supports emerging media artists who engage with the context of Asia through an online residency program and exhibitions of commissioned artworks across various global platforms. Initiated in 2016, the VH AWARD has been discovering and cultivating promising artists to share their artistic experiments and amplify their voices on diverse issues. The award encourages artists who push the boundaries of audiovisual artworks to reflect on how we understand ourselves and one another in relation to the past, present and future. To amplify and share their voices with broader communities, the artworks commissioned by the VH AWARD have been exhibited in partnership with various art institutions and platforms, including the Vision Hall of Hyundai Motor Group in Yongin, South Korea; the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria; the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara in Jakarta, Indonesia; the National Arts Council in Singapore; the House of Electronic Arts in Basel, Switzerland; and the Elektra Virtual Museum.
