Hong Kong Film 100 year exhibition








A good exhibition about Hong Kong film industry especially it was hold in a public space located in Time square...
It was an interesting experience to watch a watch movie with others just stood in front of screen,

Chow Chun Fai's film series become much popular in this exhibition, I heard some viewers were their first time to see Chow's works. However the quality for the installation was not so good... as the paintings were not originally shown, the printing quality was so poor to watch into detail

Former Central School Envisioning Days








I am highly expected it will be a good exhibition with this traditional site for exhibition. However really disappointed with the many artists just exhibit their past works. Some of them of course create new work for the days. However, those are not site specific works . If the works were exhibited in museum, I think it was really fine to be done like this.

A simple installation was impressed... with simple illustration on plastic folders and hanging up.
It really show the surrounding icon around the Former Central School. After visiting the exhibition, I cant stop to find those icon nearby...

Green Cloud







Can we know how much energy was consumed in a power station ?

Nuage Vert tried to visualize the power consumption in Helsinki with the collaboration of experts from laser technology , computer science, electrical engineering. In the pictures shown above, you can see how those water vapor which emitted from the power plant projecting into green cloud. It was a great demonstration on how art can be transformed to communicate with the city and its public sphere.

By the way, with this amazing idea, Nuage Vert got the award 2008 Golden Nica in the Hybrid Art category.

Mobile desktop




From previous lecture and tutorial, I remember another video from improve everywhere. As many people used to have their notebook in starbruck, people from improve everywhere tried to let us have another perception about the way we used computer in starbuck.

Can we use a desktop which mainly be used in our private sphere (home) to a public sphere (starbuck)?
