Kingsley Ng is an artist whose practice explores the immaterial and ephemeral through light, sound, and space. Working at the intersection of social interaction, cultural memory and technology, he creates participatory and site-specific projects that reveal the invisible and give shape to the intangible. His work is grounded in a belief that art can be socially relevant—not through romantic idealism, but by providing a vital language that renders social issues alive and meditate ideas and impressions that can engage across a larger public.

 

Ng’s transnational education background shapes his artistic perspective. Born in Hong Kong, he holds a BFA in New Media Art from the Toronto Metropolitan University, a postgraduate studies at Le Fresnoy – National Studio of Contemporary Arts in France (graduating with highest honours), and a MSc in Advanced Sustainable Design from the University of Edinburgh. He currently serves as Associate Professor at Hong Kong Baptist University’s Academy of Visual Arts, Programme Director of the BASc in Arts and Technology, and College Master of the Lo Siu Tong College.

 

His projects combine historical resonance with contemporary technology to create contemplative experiences. Notable works include Twenty-Five Minutes Older (Art Basel Hong Kong commission), which transformed a tram into a mobile camera obscura cinema; After the Deluge, an immersive installation in an underground storm-water tank; and Musical Loom, converting an eighteenth-century loom into a light-and-sound instrument.

 

Ng’s approach emphasises co-creation over predetermined narratives, inviting participants to complete works through their own responses and associations. Drawing on concepts of negative space and the interplay of dualities, his practice aims to create conditions for contemplative engagement— to encourage one to attune oneself to the world and the moment.

 

His works have been featured at the Centre Pompidou, Museum of Contemporary Arts Rome, Guangzhou Triennial, Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial, Land Art Biennial Mongolia, Hong Kong Museum of Art, and Art Basel Hong Kong, among others. Awards include UGC Team Teaching Award (2025), the Arts Development Council Best Artist Award in Media Arts (2014), Asia Cultural Council Grant (2013), and Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Awards (2009).
