Art Node (www.artnode.hk) was launched in March 2010.  The learning materials will be available under three categories namely “International Perspectives”, “Local Essences” and “the Basics”.  The archive of the past Artist-in-Residence projects and other cultural exchange activities, in both video format and text format, will be available online for students and public to learn from International Perspectives.  From March 2010, there will be a live webcasting each month with local artists not only share with audience their artworks but also their views on different issues.  Last but not least, the video documentation of past workshops hosted by visiting artists will be edited and made available at the Art Node website with step-by-step procedures, allowing visitors to learn from the Basics and apply basic technology into artworks.
