Introduction
Continuing the success of FNOB’s Opera Beyond in promoting Arts Tech through the creative open call, the HKAF has curated a series of outreach and education programmes starting from May 2021, leading up to the 50th HKAF in 2022. These initiatives aim to cultivate creativity and ideas among local arts lovers and young audiences. To promote a broader awareness and comprehensive experience of Arts Tech, the HKAF will engage students in an interactive learning process and provide teachers and arts educators with a platform to exchange and discuss insights on STEAM education and Arts Tech. The HKAF will also organise talks and seminars for the public.

Outreach Ambassador — Zeno Koo
HKAF specially invites local young icon, Zeno Koo, as the Outreach Ambassador of Laila. Passionate about music and performing, Zeno will participate in various events of special project Laila’s year-long outreach and education series, taking the local audience, especially the younger generation, onto a journey of exploration in the world of Arts and Technology.
In the previous summer, Zeno engaged in the promotion video’s shooting for the Arts X Tech Creative Competition and interviewed the members of the advisory panel — Keith Lam, a local new media artist, and The Collective, a local cross-disciplined creative agency. Advisors shared their views on Arts and Technology, and their respective creative process of art-making. These initiatives encourage students to express their wild and creative ideas as a commencement of the exploration of Arts Tech.
In three of the School Tour Demonstration Performance, he joined the students and led them to experience an immersive performance, as well as exploring the endless possibilities of the convergence of Arts Tech.
