About the Video
Recently on view at Hyundai Motorstudio Beijing was the first part of the two-part living archive exhibition, tracing past VH AWARD cycles through works by five Grand Prix recipients and two Chinese finalists from the 5th VH AWARD. From Indigenous futurism to the psychological dimensions of AI, the artists explored how technology and identity shape speculative futures across Asia. As part of this evolving archive, a public program invited 5th VH AWARD Grand Prix recipient Subash Thebe Limbu and finalist Zike HE to reflect on emerging practices in art and technology within the context of Asia. Together, they examined how technology informs cultural memory, community, and identity—adding layered perspectives to the exhibition’s inquiry into time and transformation.

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.
