Micromégas is a media art residency co-organised by the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, Videotage, and cneai=. Designed as a recurring programme since 2021, the residency features an annual theme that fosters deeper cultural exchange between France and Hong Kong.

The 2025 edition focuses on the intersection of craftsmanship and technology, featuring artists who integrate manual craftwork and programmed production in their practices. This year, with HART HAUS and Yishu8 as Residency Partners, the programme brings together two artists — Mae Chan (Hong Kong) and Mona Cara (Paris) — for a cross-cultural exchange taking place in October and November. Both artists will research local textile artisanality and explore contemporary technologies available in their host cities.

Hong Kong-based multidisciplinary artist Mae Chan will undertake her residency at cneai= and Yishu8 in Paris, developing her textile sculpture project that integrates advanced tools such as 3D-printing, with traditional fibre techniques like wool carding and needle felting. Meanwhile, French artist Mona Cara, known for her hybrid textile works that explore the pictorial and sculptural dimensions of warp and weft, will be hosted at HART HAUS in Hong Kong, with research support from Videotage. She will study traditional weaving methods, while engaging with advanced textile design and development initiatives in the city.

They will share their exchange experiences through a public event at HART HAUS on 21 November (Friday). Stay tuned for more information!

《微觀巨世》由法國駐香港及澳門總領事館、錄映太奇及 cneai= 合辦，是一項於 2021 年展開的媒體藝術駐留計劃。作為常設項目，計劃每年設有不同主題，旨在加深法國與香港之間的文化交流。

2025 年的主題聚焦於工藝與科技的交匯，邀請融合手工技藝與程式化製作的藝術家參與。今年的駐留計劃得到藝術八和 HART HAUS 的支持，將分別於十月及十一月為陳潔婷（香港）和Mona Cara（巴黎）展開跨文化交流。兩位藝術家將在各自的駐留城市研究當地的紡織工藝傳統，並探索可應用的當代技術。

香港跨媒介藝術家陳潔婷將於巴黎的 cneai= 和藝術八駐留，創作其結合 3D 列印等進階技術與羊毛梳理、針氈等傳統纖維工藝的「紡織雕塑」。同時，法國藝術家 Mona Cara 將在香港的 HART HAUS 駐留，並獲得錄映太奇的研究支援。她的混合織物創作探索布料在經紗、緯紗之間產生的繪畫性與雕塑性，駐留期間將學習傳統編織技藝，並進一步了解本地的紡織設計及研發項目。

兩位藝術家將於 11 月 21 日（星期五）齊聚 HART HAUS，向公眾分享其駐留經驗。請繼續留意稍後公佈消息！
