How does modern technology intersect with ancient spirituality? This is the question that is posed in the work of Grimanesa Amorós, a Peruvian interdisciplinary artist, whose light sculpture installations will be featured tomorrow at BAZAAR ART NIGHT, which is a celebration of the first edition of Art Basel Hong Kong.  

“We take the power of our technology for granted, yet 3,000 years ago they would have been considered divine,” says Amorós.
