DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Kung Fu Motion: The Living Archive opens on Apr
 il 28. It accompanies the integration of ArtLab into EPFL’s College of H
 umanities and kicks off a stimulating series of fresh programs at the  in
 tersections of art/science.\n \nKung Fu Motion is the story of the dynami
 c traditions of Southern China and Hong Kong’s martial arts\, seen throu
 gh the lens of advanced archival technologies. At the intersection of art\
 , science and ritual practice\, the exhibition opens up new perspectives f
 or our embodied engagement with intangible cultural heritage.\n \nKung Fu
  Motion is part of a major research initiative between Switzerland and Hon
 g Kong. It is an ongoing collaboration between the Laboratory for Experime
 ntal Museology + (eM+) at the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (
 EPFL)'s Digital Humanities Institute\, the International Goushu Associatio
 n\, and City University of Hong Kong.\n \nHong Kong is an extraordinary r
 eservoir of intangible heritage. From the early to mid 20th  century Hong
  Kong provided refuge to teeming thousands of immigrants from Mainland Chi
 na\, and among them were some of the most prominent martial artists in the
  world. With globalisation\, urbanisation and dwindling number of practiti
 oners\, this living heritage made internationally so famous by Jackie Chan
  and Hong Kong cinema\, is now in danger of becoming lost.\n \n“Kung Fu
  Motion examines strategies for encoding\, retrieving and re-enacting this
  intangible heritage in ways that allow these archives to be ‘alive’ i
 n the present”\, says Professor Sarah Kenderdine\, Director of eM+ and A
 rtLab.\n\nOpening: Friday 27 April at 6 pm\nExhibition from 28 April to 26
  August 2018\nEntrance free
