Art Projects

Inspired by the interesting properties of light, the artists created two sets of art installations infusing science and art for the “Science in Art” exhibition. The Science Promotion Unit hopes to arouse the audience's curiosity about science through the artworks, and further explore the related scientific knowledge. We will invite Dr. David YU, Lecturer of the Faculty of Science of the University of Hong Kong and a popular science book author, to introduce Schrödinger’s cat experiment, wave-particle duality of light, photoelectric effect, and some other interesting quantum effects to the public.
