Future vision for Berge


For about 15 weeks our group of four international Business & Design students planned, discussed and co-created
together with Berge (a full service consulting and design agency). The initial task of the project was to develop a
future vision for Berge. However, we quickly realized that the staff didn’t have a common understanding of the company’s vision. In order to help Berge to create a corporate culture and further to achieve their company goals, we designed an interactive book that firstly serves as an organisational handbook and secondly as a toolkit to help Berge to improve and communicate their organizational culture.

Kevin Cheng


Do you still remember when you last gazed into the vast expanse of the blue sky? How about the primitive forms of the food we eat? Urban development seemed to have justified turning farmlands into skyscrapers, with people blemishing nature while forgetting that people and nature are one. Natural scenery and crops now become rarities. Through this collection of works, we could hopefully re-evaluate whether our remaining wonderful rural areas should be preserved amid land development.<br>


Vincy Leung
Hong Kong people lead fast-paced lives as conventional wisdom dictates that to slow down is to be disadvantaged. However, there may have been advantages because of my taking a slow “slow” pace in the creative journey. I love “fishing” because it is an “extremely slow” activity. Nobody would consider me “slow” while I am fishing, and the fresh air relaxes me for the whole day. I am particularly fascinated with hooks of different sizes; I am curious about their motions under water and how fishes get hooked. I gradually drew them out of interest as I feel there is an exciting story behind each and every hook. Using different colour combinations on material of various sizes, they tell one stories after another which you may be able to catch.


Apple Tong
In a world without sound, Apple observes with her eyes, experiences with her heart, feels with her hands, and expresses her most genuine feelings with paintings. Painting opens up windows of opportunities for Apple, and she uses her works to open a pathway for others to the world without sound--with the hope for all of us to reflect on what makes up a perfect life.


Prudence Mak

Samantha sees the world with curiosity and imagination. She combines photography and painting into a new art form – with a hope that people can share her thoughts through her artistic prospects. Thereupon, the original “P on P” (Painting on Photo) series of artworks is created.
The series were exhibited in the City Hall, Jockey Club Lei Yue Mun Plus, Gallery by the Harbour, Hong Kong Cultural Centre and Hong Kong Central Library Exhibition Gallery, Musée du Louvre (Paris, France), etc.

Yam Tsz Ki


Viewers are inspired through painting and photography to reflect on what “shortcomings” are. There are physical “shortcomings” in the 8 artists with disability. Each artist will select a colour considered to be most representative of the person. The body part with which these artists present their artistic skills will be painted using the colour while the resultant photo will be retouched with Photoshop so that it is black and white except the painting. One may have cursory notions of the “shortcomings” for the artists but it is not always noticeable. When their artistic abilities are clear in sight, will you still insist on finding the so-called “shortcomings”?


Jack Li


This series of photographic works make use of abstract artworks to present and reflect on aspects of realities in Hong Kong. Arts act as a mirror which directly reflects the lives of people. When faced with pressure and the burden of daily living, people have no choice but to gradually retreat into their inner selves. However, arts could also be a bridge of communication allowing us to experience and savour the world in which we discover deep resonance.


Frank Wong


Although envelopes are often disposed after the content were extracted, I am fascinated by them. Seeing them as friends, I gradually made pencil sketches on them out of interest. Envelopes became records of my moods during fleeting moments with the postmark putting a timestamp on these soulful sketches. Hardly a sheet of snow-white paper, these envelopes are tidy and spotless enough. White envelopes contrasted with black pencils became a dialogue of black and white, making up a monochrome world. Art is the key to my heart instead of some unapproachable luxury. Perfectly sketching my moods on an imperfect sheet of paper as lasting memory—would you say this is perfect or not?

Featured Art Installation


FERMATA: We wish to liberate people from their hectic urban life by offering them a precious pause. Our art installation - “Fermata” - will engage the mood of people by orchestrating a tempo with a transforming mechanical structure, lighting and music. As its name depicts, the artwork will gradually slow down the tempo of environment and approach a moment of serenity.


 

SKIN+BONES: Both architects and fashion designers are preoccupied with space, volume and providing a shell for the body as protection from the environment and vehicle for social and cultural evolution. We are leveraging this opportunity to explore the parallel practice among architects and fashion designers, as well as engineers and media designers, through synergizing the “skin” and the “bones” in this co-creation experiment.
