This is the annual exhibition showcasing the artworks performed by the graduates of the Bachelor of Arts in Applied and Media Arts programme offered by SPEED and the Hong Kong Arts School. The word "performed" is used because those are really interactive moving arts, which involve living goldfish and many other works of evolving forms. The presentation I like most is the one showing in the video clip (though it is disoriented). It is an interactive device which consists of three weight-sensitive beakers and several seedlings. When the seedling is placed in the beaker, the Chinese characters 「木」(which means wood or trees) around the containers will rotate or assemble correspondingly. The slender form of the plants and the ethereal dancing movement of the words is just a perfect match. Generally speaking, their design concepts are usually hot social topics, such as environmental issues, consumer-driven journalism etc. One of the work, Taste the food: Taste our family actually reminds me of the project studied by another group in our Visual Culture Theory Course about new concept of "home". I really look forward to presenting our research findings with some new media applications in the next course.
