About "Human Learning": live performance by artists Giang Nguyen with four dancers: Nguyen Huynh Nhu, Minh Duyen, Psycho Neo, Son Luong
Human Learning (2021) was developed through a series of exercises in which participants were invited to re-enact and/or imitate robotic actions such as falling, walking, avoiding human subjects, etc. Through these movements, it seeks to negotiate the master- servant roles between man and machine, and thus imagine a future where machines and humans cohabit, cooperate and learn from each other.

About artist talk: with Giang Nguyen & Gabriel Hensche, moderated by artist/curator Chau Tran - Vi
Led by artist/curator Chau Tran - Vi, the talk will focus on the ideas behind Giang Nguyen and Gabriel Hensche’s works, about the exhibition’s title, the process of learning, thinking, and accumulating knowledge especially in the current scene when artificial intelligence keeps changing and growing.
