Raven's work is often the result of masterfully layered systems, creating striking interactive landscapes. The MuDA is delighted to announce that its 10th exhibition will focus on the works of artist, animator and programmer Raven Kwok. Raven was born as Ruiwen Guo (郭 锐文) in Shanghai in 1989. As a teenager he was exposed to the Flash scene, and looked up to the artistic use of the medium by pioneers such as Yugo Nakamura, also known as Yugop. This inspiration led him to teach himself how to program and create animations in code. Opening on February 22, 2020 in Zurich, this exhibition will be Raven Kwok's first show in Europe. It will feature six installations, including artworks that have never yet been presented in an exhibition setting, such as the swinging "Doge Chorus". Next to these interactive installations, Raven Kwok is also tweaking code-generated physical objects that will be included in this unique exhibition.
