Charlie Yip is a Media Artist and Producer from Hong Kong, currently working at RTHK as an assistant producer. She is passionate about exploring the creative use of media in storytelling to the empowerment of underrepresented communities. She has been organizing various curatorial projects and creating interactive artworks in a team-oriented interaction. She was Project manager of the Neuro-Design Lab under the supervision of Prof. Maurice Benayoun (2019-2022). She produced works not only involved creating artistic and educational content but also planning, managing and executing projects. She believes media creation is not merely a mechanical process of reproducing copies of the original with a machine but rather a reproduction process of bringing dreams and imagination into hands-on practice.
