Hidden Room was first published back in August of 2012, that was almost 7 years ago. From that day a lot has changed in my life and I had to focus on other things than art.

Even though I'm still busy running things offline I feel it's the right time to change the subject of this website and focus on Asian Contemporary Art. While blogging about art and artists I've found myself very interested in the Asian art scene because it has a weird and mysterious way to merge the traditional art and the new technology-inspired art styles. In fact, Asian art, in my opinion, is at the same time classical and avant-garde. So, without further ado, I want to announce a Paradigm Swift for Hidden Room from a blog dedicated to Arts in general to a magazine mostly focused and dedicated to promoting Asian art and its derivatives.

Javier Perez is one of those artists who doesn't seem to experience any difficulty in getting inspired and creating new artwork.

His recent art project is called "Stop motions experiments" and features many pop doodles presented using the stop motion animation technique. In this artwork series, Javier is using everyday objects like coffee beans and mandarin fruits to show the relationship between time and our daily habits.

Hong Kong artist "King of Kowloon" Tsang Tsou-Choi started drawing street walls with Chinese calligraphy (or Shūfǎ 書法) in 1956 while his work was one of the first graffiti expressions in Hong Kong. Tsang completed more than 55,000 works until his death in 2007.

Most of his street artwork has been replaced or erased by Hong Kong's construction development or renovation, so a project was created by Google's online cultural platform in order to preserve Tsang Tsou-Choi's artwork. Actually, Tsang was the first artist to be featured in Google's cultural platform where more than 170 of his street artwork was saved and presented online. Chang's work was considered by iconic Chinese museums and government as "too controversial" to care for so the only place people can find and enjoy his calligraphy street art is through Google's Arts & Culture online platform. Tsang (aka King of Kowloon) claimed that Kowloon belonged to his ancestor's clan so he wandered around Hong Kong's Kowloon district claiming his land and naming his family members

names through his graffiti and calligraphy artwork. One of Tsang Tsou-Choi's last calligraphy works was in Hong Kong's electricity box and was destroyed about a year ago by a government contractor. Kowloon was famous for its walled city which was torn down 25 years ago (March of 1994). It was called The Wall City because it was built as a high-rise squatter camp covering an enormous complex of 300 interconnected buildings. This used to be one of the most crowded places on earth, 119 times as dense a New York City. From the 1950's, which was the year the complex started building up until its demolition year in 1994, more than 33,000 lived and worked inside the 6.4-acre city. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fd56CGnVRU Tsang Tsou Choi 曾灶財 King of…

This an experiment by Canon's The Lab called as Decoy, about a man who was photographed by six different photographers.

In each of the shoots, he wears the same outfit but he told a different story about his personal background to each of the photographers. One of the photographers was told that he is an ex-convict while another was told that he was a self-made millionaire. The result is unique; photographers shaped the way that man looked like revealing the power that is hidden behind the lens.

Rodrigo Dada is a Costa Rican photographer born on 1987, currently working in El Salvador as a freelancer.

His Voragine(Vortex in english) artwork is about "about personal crisis and the human ability to regenerate, to rise from our ashes", it features people struggling to balance themselves with their objects and possibly find their real meaning.
