The design of Future Archive
Kan Tai Keung's artwork Li Ning's artwork
The Future Archive, curated by award-winning designer and cross-disciplinary artist Chilai Howard, will showcase creative collaborations between seven pairs of veteran Hong Kong design masters and emerging talents, such as 'Creating the Future' X 'Big Steps' by Kan Tai Keung and Li Ning.
Works by master minibus sign writer Mak Kam-sang and renowned hand-painted signage artist Katol. The duo will create their iconic handwritten typography "Better Future" on a life-sized red minibus facade, to echo this year's DesignInspire theme. The work will be displayed in the Future Archive pavilion during the exhibition.
The exhibition features an art tech interactive zone, presenting works by renowned local watercolour artist Pei Chung and real-time visual artist moon.noon. Pei Chung's exhibits incorporate Hong Kong's most iconic urban symbols with interactive elements, allowing visitors to experience the creative fusion of watercolour art and digital technology.
Real-time visual artist moon.noon brings an immersive art installation, 'Echoes of Urban Pulse'. The 'Urban Mirage' zone uses optical and sound data collected from Hong Kong streets, to present Hong Kong's distinctive landscapes through over 2,000 different light states, while the 'Streetlight Sonata' zone is an interactive art installation incorporating Hong Kong street light elements, with backgrounds changing according to visitors' movements and steps, creating unique light and shadow effects.
