City Impression＠Connectivity Exhibition
City Impression＠Connectivity Exhibition
28 Feb 2014
HKDI fresh graduates from Higher Diploma in Creative Media collaborated with Planning Department and City Gallery to organize an exhibition titled City Impression＠Connectivity, starting from 26th February 2014 for a period 3 months. The exhibition aims to explore and showcase the connectivity between people and the city space, with the aim to narrow the distance between the disabled and the city space, encouraging them to jointly build the future community. By targeting and studying the visually impaired people and patients suffering from disease of urbanisation respectively, two group of students created and presented their design concepts with interactive multimedia, shedding light to a better way of future urban planning.
One group of students hopes to narrow the distance between the visually impaired people and the city space with their design work titled City • Light, an interactive media installation mainly operated by a motion sensor. A map being viewed by the sense of touch is created to facilitate the visually impaired people to experience the exhibition space, providing an interactive way for all visitors, both normal and visually impaired people, to tour around the same city space together.
Another group of students conducted research and found that the brainwave of normal people is different from that of people suffering from disease of urbanization. It inspires the students to design an interactive space, which can receive the human brainwave with a senor and integrate it with people having disease of urbanization, constructing silhouette image of a new city to symbolise the bilateral relationship between the citizens and the community. This work also became the top ten Interactive Media Category Finalist in the 18th ifva Awards.
