Chan is a kinetic artist who creates mechanical sculptures. These sculptures investigate and display the intricate structures and mechanisms of clockwork, not as a means to an end but as an end in themselves. They are committed to exploring the dynamic relationship between moving objects and the space they inhabit. They evoke, uncannily, within the “white cube” space of the gallery, a mechanical, analogue world of material objects in real space, while the real world increasingly consists of a virtual space of pixels and screens. Chan received his BA in Creative Media from SCM in 2007.
