Visual Vibrations_ Wasting's

  

  

by Lam Wing Chung Agnes

“Wasting's” is a conceptual brand which sells different kinds of festival food, and reflects the issue of excessive food that is being wasted in big festivals in Hong Kong.

Rather than telling people “how to save food/ money” or “how to reduce festival (food) waste”, I choose to redesign the packages of festival food with new titles and sarcastic tagline – “The Goodness of Excessiveness”, in an irony approach. “Wasting's” can force its audiences to confront with their habitual manner, and consequences of wasting festival food in a compulsory way. Different subtitles or comments (statements) found on the packaging will sound sarcastic towards the wasters, or putting them into an awkward situation due to their prior act of creating (either voluntarily or passively) excessive festival food. It is like a “trap”; thus I wish the audiences can learn a lesson from it.

“WASTING’S”是一個售賣各種節日食物的概念性品牌，反映香港在各大節日時多餘食品的食物浪費。

與其讓人知道如何節省食物和金錢、或減少食物浪費，我選擇了重新設計節日食品的包裝，並加上新的諷刺性食品品名，以及標語“THE GOODNESS OF EXCESSIVENESS”。

“WASTING’S”強迫受眾面對自己這種習慣性的態度，與浪費節日食物的必然後果。如陷阱一樣，在包裝上不同的語句正是為了去諷刺及取笑浪費者；或將會讓人身處於製造節日食物浪費的笨拙處境。我希望看到這一份作品的人都能上寶貴的一課。

Election is a system to elect an eligible person for a post, it is supposed to be taken serious with integrity. However, in the process of election, the nominees, like a gossipmonger, will slander and defame on others in order to gain more supporters. In this condition, the ideology of an election has been changed. In my opinion, election is about gossip, and gossip is used as a weapon to make the election into a farce. A fictitious election is to let audiences aware that elections are full of gossips; the value and purpose of an election have become contorted.

This Campaign will focus on the elections in America, which are more familiar to audiences. Five icon as nominees will be symbolized by five different weapons, that fill with real examples of statements about gossip. These icons represent typical gossip in an election. Such as gossip that unveil by media, supporters attacking opponent nominees and nominees who accuse each other. By using these icons, their “achievements” in different fields will be illustrated. The aim of this campaign is to stimulate audiences’ mind ‘Do we vote for the gossip or the ability of the nominees?’ In additional, ‘Do we really need gossips in elections?’

選舉制度是要選出一位賢能的人作合適職位。一般而言，大家都會假設認為選舉是廉正和認真的。但在選舉中，就如流言蜚語一樣，參選人會誹謗對手以得到更多支持者，因而令到選舉的本義改變。我認為選舉有如流言蜚語，利用流言這種武器使選舉變成鬧劇。這個作品中的虛構選舉——就是讓觀眾知道選舉中是充滿流言，並且選舉的價值和目的都已被扭曲了！

本作品主要是針對大家熟悉的美國大選。五個流言蜚語字句所組成的武器，代表不同形態的參選人。這些參選人象徵在選舉中經常出現的流言蜚語。如傳媒揭發的流言，支持者對其他參選人的攻擊及參選人之間的互相指控等。這個作品的目的底是因為候選人的實際能力投票，還是受選舉中的各種流言影響投票？在選舉中，我們是否真的需要這些流言蜚語呢？

Visual Vibrations_ Template

  

  

by Lee Ying Yuk Andries


In the past decade, technology and knowledge have been developing and discovering rapidly. Many templates now exist in numerous forms including both hardware and software. Simply like a standard guideline, templates have created boundaries for people which will limit human being’s creation and development. Templates indeed have the value with repeated application or being implemented in many aspects (from individual to social level) in different period of our lives. However, it is not difficult to find their common spirit; they do look different, have the same function. From economical to political, religious to cultural; templates can be found anywhere easily.

To some extend, human beings are always likely to be influenced by those standard values, building up a reliance on them in order to obtain a sense of being secured. We get used to those standard values, and numbly follow it. As a result, our own identity and thought towards our live will diminish gradually. I used concept books as the media to present this idea. With repeated contents in the reading process, I wish to let people to have a chance to find out and re-think about this social phenomenon from cultural aspects to their own life.

最近的十多年來，無論在科技上和知識上的開發和發展都極速發展，在硬件和軟件上都出現很多「範例」供人參考。「範例」有如一個固定指標，形成了一個界限，限制了人類的創作和發展；同時「範例」也代表著在我們生活中不同時段、不同層面(由個人到社會)的重複發生和執行，但同時間我們又很難去發現其共通點。儘管外貌不一，這些在不同領域裡的「範例」有著共同的功能；由經濟到政治，宗教到文化，「範例」隨處可見。

再作伸延，人類好像被一些既定觀念而影響，為求安全而在這些觀念上建立信任，因而麻木地跟隨。漸漸地人在生活中便開始失去個人特性和想法。在這個作品中，希望透過三本概念性刊物，表達以上想法。在閱讀本作品的過程中，利用不斷重複的內容，讓人有機會從文化到個人生活中，尋求和重新思考這個「範例」衍生出來的社會現象。

Visual Vibrations_ Super Child

  

  

by Mak Man Ting Katie


In a society that is almost entirely commercially oriented, the rise of the twisted social phenomenon of “Super-Child Parenting” has gained a relatively prominent ground amongst the parents of young generation. The idea of arming kids with excessive, unnecessary knowledge and extracurricular activities, so that they will become beau ideal might sound quintessential; but when it is carried out badly, it is not only unhelpful to the development of a child’s mind, or even detrimental. The focus of this project is to examine and shed light on this social phenomenon through a board game.

Parents treat their kids as poker chips or a piece in a board game. In a parent’s perspective, raising a “super-child” is a game they need to play against the education system and fellow parents. Children, who view “games” as mere fun, gain no enjoyment from the process. Instead, they participate in the “game” by becoming a game piece that is moved and manipulated. The path of their lives are chosen and superimposed. I hope my project will give the viewers a new perspective to evaluate this phenomenon.

我們的社會基本上已完完全全是商業主導，引發起由幼兒家長所突顯出來的緊張現象：養育「超級兒童」。孩童被迫接受過份而又非必須的知識和課外活動；而孩童的家長，總是希望他們的孩子變得「完美」且「無所不曉」。但當處理不當時，這不單無助孩童的心理發展，更百害而無一利。

在這作品的棋盤遊戲中，家長把子女當成棋子。在父母親的眼中，育成一位「超級兒童」是一個他們需要對抗教育制度和其他家長的遊戲。在遊戲過程中，孩子其實並不享受，也不會高興。相反，在遊戲中他們只是棋子，是被動和受控。在生活中他們的痛苦是被強加上去的。我希望這個作品讓大家可以有一個新的角度來評價這個現象。
