Live art show spotlights HK

Handfuls of sand are the latest tool in the Government's promotional repertoire. Sand painting artist Hoi Chiu expertly scoops, tosses, sweeps, smears and pushes the grains across a lightbox, and moves his fingers through them, in a live-art performance that showcases Hong Kong, Asia's world city.
Hoi Chiu also developed a 15-minute promotional video, Hong Kong Sandscapes, a dazzling montage of the city in which his sand-painted images morph into real ones.
A story featuring the artist and his work appears on news.gov.hk today (March 9) in both text and video format.
