About the Artworks:
This series of drawing robot plots capture the ephemeral act of play, specifically drawing inspiration from the joyous movements of children playing on monkey bars in a public playground. Embracing the boundless forms of play that inspire movement and spontaneity in children, and utilized the XY drawing robot to transcend traditional boundaries, merging technology and creativity to bring my vision to life on paper.
This process involved using motion capture technology to immortalize the fleeting moments of improvised play in public spaces. Through the lens of machine learning, video footage is transformed into 3D motion data, translating temporal movements into spatial positions.

Amber Ng is a Hong Kong artist whose multimedia practice spans the mediums of sculpture, drawing and digital media. Amber graduated from the Hong Kong Baptist University with a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) in 2021. Amber’s research-based practice is rooted in her interest in integrating artistic forms with technological and industrial processes. Her recent works explore the nature of playgrounds in an attempt to capture and study the ephemeral act of play, resulting in robotic drawing and hand welded steel sculptures, molded after imagery generated by motion
capture technologies. Her commitment to the study of the sculptural form continues in a recent expansion into the field of public installation, furthering her interest in the interactions between children and the environmental characteristics of playgrounds.
