Thickest, Choi Chi Hau
Born in 1983. He was named 'Thickest' by a secondary school classmate on the millenium, which was derived from his Chinese Name Hau (Means Thickness).

He was living in a marginal new town in Hong Kong. Video and photography is his usual medium of creation. And he is also one of the co-ordinator of the Complaints Choir of Hong Kong.

He was graduated from the School of Journalism and Communication, Chinese University of Hong Kong (2006) and just finished his MA Visual Culture Studies programme, in the Chinese University of Hong Kong again (2009).

He has worked as a tutor of the HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity, and as a research assistant of the HKIEd.

蔡志厚

蔡志厚,洋名Thickest,取其最厚之意也。人如其洋名,駑鈍之至。
一九八三年耶誕生於香港,成長於新界北陲。香港投訴合唱團團員,以錄像及攝影為主要創作媒介。蕩遊終日,無所用心,妨路兒(flâneur)是也。

迭於佛教小學、道教中學、新儒家書院讀書。馳騁都市,偶爾發狂於浮光掠影間。五色令人目盲,故亙以黑白凝視、反思物事。

二零零六年畢業於中文大學新亞書院,主修新聞與傳播;剛完成中文大學視覺文化研究碩士課程。 曾任香港兆基創意書院創意課程導師、香港教育學院體藝學系研究助理。
