Ho Tzu Nyen on how AI leads to the cinematic past

Ho Tzu Nyen's installation 'Night Charades' transforms the facade of the M+ museum, reimagining memorable scenes from Hong Kong's cinematic Golden Age using AI technology. The work reflects Ho’s deep connection to the films of the 1980s and 1990s, shaped by his upbringing in Singapore where such cinema thrived. His artistic exploration draws on history to comment on contemporary culture, creating a rich dialogue between past and future. Supported by M+ and Art Basel, 'Night Charades' exemplifies how nostalgic elements can merge with modern artistic practices.

The future looks an awful lot like the past in Ho Tzu Nyen's commission for the 110-metre facade of the M+ museum with Night Charades.

Ho's latest work continues an approach where he uses the past to explore the future and mines history to reconsider the present.
