獨立藝術家李曉巧，目前生活與工作在中國香港，他的研究關注點集中於視覺影像的數位化轉譯。通過計算性技術生成圖像，探討視覺影像的智慧模擬方式、以及其方式類型與人體視覺環境形態的交叉反應。

2019年，李曉巧的研究方案獲得了香港博士研究生獎學金計畫（HKPFS）全額資助。李曉巧目前在香港浸會大學視覺藝術院進行視覺藝術方向博士（PhD）研究。他的作品曾獲英國〈Clifford Chance Purchase prize〉，《第四屆北京國際美術雙年展中國青年藝術家作品獎》和《第六屆大藝博優秀青年藝術家獎》等。

Xiaoqiao Li is an artist, researcher, curator and member of the Council of Macau International Printmaking Art Research Center. Xiaoqiao has been received many professional awards across the globe, including the Clifford Chance Purchase Prize in the UK and the Chinese Young Artists Award at the Beijing International Art Biennale, etc. In 2019, the Hong Kong Research Grants Council (RGC) offered him a Hong Kong PhD Fellowship to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Program in Visual Arts Studies at Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University.

實踐為基礎的實驗觀察法

我目前研究的主要方法論是基於工作室實踐和理論框架之間平行交替的批判性反思。在我的研究中，實踐作為一種方法論，是一個創作/觀察/反思的迴圈過程並在創作後再次取得新的成果。它是在實踐的指導下對有見地的想法和有意義的方向的探索和檢驗。它是基於數字印刷母版的製作過程，將理論與實踐、學識和實踐經驗結合起來。數字印刷母版將是決定數據變化的空間。例如我通常會先以攝影圖像作為創作的起點，之後通過包括純手工的版畫製作工藝和數碼手段對圖像功能邏輯進行轉位創作。

基本的創作模式是：膠捲相機拍攝圖像—圖像沖洗—圖像掃描—電腦輔助—數碼打印/鐳射蝕刻/3D打印—版畫凸印或凹印法（基於鐳射蝕刻的基礎上）—-合成虛擬數碼互動作品

在過去24個月中令我無法進行藝術創作的情況應該是在寫研究論文時期，雖然在這段時期無法進行實質的藝術實踐創作但是會思考和整理藝術實踐的理論框架。

Practice-based Experimental Observation

The main methodology of my current research is based on the critical reflection of parallel alternation of studio practice and theoretical frameworks. In my research, practice as a methodology is a cyclic process of making/observing/reflecting and producing new results again after making. It is a method for exploring and examining insightful ideas, meaningful directions which are guided by practice. It combines theory and practice, intellectual knowledge and practical experience. It is based on the process of making a digital print-matrix, which will be the space that determines the variation of the data. For example, I usually start with a photographic image and then transcodes the functional logic of the image through a process that includes both purely handmade printmaking and digital means.

The basic model is: analogue film camera image – film development – image scanning – computer assisted – digital print / laser etching / 3D printing – intaglio and relief prints [based on laser etching] – virtual-digital-interactive-works

In the last 24 months, I have been unable to make art during the writing of my research papers, although I have been unable to do any actual art practice, but I think about and organise the theoretical framework of my practice.
