EVENT DESCRIPTION
To explore the concept of ‘inheritance’, Design Spectrum, a public platform of the Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC), sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA), presents a three-part thematic exhibition,‘PASS THE BATON’. The first part, ‘FROM PASSING BY TO PASSING ON’, which explored the value of inheritance from a new perspective, received an enthusiastic response.
Building on the theme ‘FROM PASSING BY TO PASSING ON’, Part 1 of the exhibition invited visitors to explore the role of design in inheritance and the importance of objects and cultural heritage that are worth preserving.
To continue the journey in exploration, running from 5 July – 14 August 2024, Part 2 of the exhibition will be staged and Curator Michael Leung will introduce over 20 design projects from Hong Kong, the Mainland, Macau, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Italy, Japan and Korea. Spanning categories such as product and industrial design, communication design, digital and motion design, and fashion design, the exhibition aims to spark the public’s imagination about ways to inheritance. Focusing on the creative process, the exhibition shows how design evolves standard processes to meet the needs of different eras, continually pushing boundaries and amplifying the power of inheritance. Free admission to the exhibition held at D2 Place, with pre-registration required.
Commissioned Work – Beyond Sound: Seeing Music with Your Eyes
Is sensory experience only transmitted in a one-way street? Is there a way to achieve a sensory transformation of its essence without human intervention during the inheritance process? For example, can the inherent form of ‘sound’ be ‘seen’? Korean designer Hitencho joins Michael Leung, Curator of the exhibition, to create an interactive installation ‘Beyond Sound’. Applying the concept of cymatics, they use sound wave frequencies to vibrate a water medium, creating ever-changing patterns that make sound inherently visible and transform it into a new visual spectacle. Upon entering the purple exhibition hall of the installation, visitors are transported into a surreal yet playful realm. They can play their own music via Bluetooth devices and see the unique waves generated from these music works projected onto the walls in a mesmerising play of light and shadow.
