CQU multimedia lecturer Qing Huang has won the Best Animation award from China Central TV station and has been invited to attend the awards ceremony on October 22- 23 in Beijing.

This award follows his recent visit to the United States where he exhibited his short multimedia piece entitled \'The Way\' at the 28th Asian American International Film Festival 2005.

\'The Way\' adapts ancient Chinese art principles to create a new media art form. Traditional Chinese brush-stroke methods and aesthetic principles are simplified and codified using modern computer imagery techniques.

Qing describes \'The Way\' as a paradox; \"it reconciles opposites, joining the timeless with the hyper-modern. It is a marriage between ancient Chinese philosophy and western chaos theory, revealing the underlying dynamic nature of the reality, pulsing with life, which surrounds us.

“\'The Way\' gives traditional Chinese ink-brush aesthetics new life through cutting-edge CGI techniques and shows us the direction of a new generation of digital animators.\".
