About the Video
Syaura Qotrunadha’s practice is informed by a belief that "Asia’s future of technology advancement is never apart from the human needs and beliefs who live in it," and that it is "necessary to search for the intersections between humanity and technology." Her VH AWARD proposal, Fluidity of Future Machines (2021) is a video collage consisting of footage and visual archives presented with a performative proposition and explores the relationship between water and living creatures’ migration, speculating the future of human nature.

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.
