Between art and society, time unfolds and lingers.

From traditional seal carving, the fermentation of tea leaves, to the connection between neighbourhood and the grocery store, and the human–machine collaboration in letterpress printing— these four local shops operate without advanced systems, yet preserve a different sense of time. In this fast-paced city, can we take a moment to experience “time” that cannot be fully measured?

Curated by Shan Wong, SATA Fest: “Between the Between” brings together artist-mentors Fung Wing Lam, Rogerger Ng, Sing Jantzen Tse, Liv Tsim, and 20 artist-mentees, to conduct a year-long research and development. Through sonic art, graphic art, electronic art and bio art, they reinterpret and respond to these small businesses’ operation models, opening up a contemporary dialogue on time.

Beyond the exhibition, SATA Fest also invites overseas artists to HK for talks and artwork presentations, offering new perspectives on the relationship between art, technology, and the city.

在藝術與城市之間，時間在縫隙中延續與流動。

從手工印章的雕刻工序、茶葉的發酵過程，到雜貨店的人情往來與印務店的人機協作，這四間本地老舖沒有智能化或自動化的營運模式，卻保存著另一種時間感。在這個講求效率的城市裡，我們仍能短暫停留，感受那種無法被完全測量的生命經驗嗎？

SATA Fest：「間之間」由黃詠珊策劃，邀請藝術家馮穎琳、伍啓豪、謝振聲、詹昫嵐擔任導師，並聯同20位不同領域的藝術家深入四家傳統老舖，展開為期一年的研究與創作。藝術家透過聲音藝術、平面藝術、電子藝術與生物藝術，重新詮釋並回應這些店舖的運作方式與生活節奏，開展一場關於「時間」的當代對話。

除了展覽，SATA Fest 亦特邀多位海外藝術家來港交流及展出作品，讓公眾從不同角度理解藝術、科技與城市之間的關係。
