[ISEA2012] Artist Talk: Joanna Cheung – CHANCE + PARTICIPATION = MAGIC

Artist Statement

Chance events lead to visceral pleasure, if the context, in which the event is constructed, is designed to surprise and transcend. There are two types of chance events: natural and planned. My work explores, is the development of planned chances. I want to intentionally create work that produces and defines unintentional effects. The conception of my work, often, comes about spontaneously, fueled by various sources of research and random, recreational reading (literally and metaphorically) into theory, science, art, design, and my daily life. Magic is latent it is exposed through chance and participation.
