Curating Your Own Gallery | 策展你的個人藝廊

Description:

If collaboration is the art of human interaction, a sustainable collaboration is then a gallery of proven success.「DesignXcel」2018 continues to team up with GOXD Technology Limited to introduce emerging young artists, illustrators, animators and designers the exclusive experience with the 3D autostereoscopic display technology. Through the high-tech Memto™ 3D frame of GOXD Technology, the audience can enjoy the images, still or moving, without wearing the 3D glasses in high definition.

With GOXD’s glasses-free 3D technology, a series of animation works from The Open University of Hong Kong (OUHK) have been further enhanced and brought to the audience in a brand new visual experience.

The animation ‘Cant Stop Me Now’ features a story that takes place in a traditional ‘Yum Cha’ setting. The child protagonist is bored with the traditional social occasion because he is constantly neglected by his parents. He therefore creates a vivid adventure story with imaginative creatures. The animators would like to highlight the importance of imagination in children and remind the adults to cherish their creative abilities.

‘Losing Sight of a Longed Place’ is a short animation sequence depicting the struggle of a homosexual young man who grew up in Hong Kong. He is met with a lot of difficulties during his struggle for the LGBT rights, even expressing conflicts with his father during his pursuit. The animators took the audience through a psychedelic journey into the minds of the protagonist, during which he re-examines his relationship with his family, the society and most importantly, himself.

In ‘Kin’s Hair’, the protagonist Kin realised that he has been losing hair after a failed relationship. He almost lost all his hair over the course of 20 years until one day he met his lover again, where the last strand of hair has fallen off from his head. He then realised he has missed the opportunity of having a good life, choosing instead to worry his life (hair) away. The animation subtly references the historical events of Hong Kong over the past 20 years and provokes the audience to reflect on their own stance.

The sci-fi adventure ‘Bloodxury’ features the story of two space pilots ‘IBRA’ and ‘Soldier KO’. Their habitats were devastated by famine that forced them to search for resources on other planets. Eventually they found the resources they were looking for but had accidentally awoken the giant nemesis and led to a climactic battle.

‘Cricket World’ is a story about two crickets fighting over a fertile habitat. ‘Bad Cricket’ employs many tactics to take over ‘Old Cricket’s’ land, like kidnapping Old Cricket’s Tomato, and sending a giant gecko to shovel up his home. Both animations ‘Bloodxury’ and ‘Cricket World’ feature a highly detailed 3D modelling that popped extraordinarily under GOXD Technology Limited’s display.

These great works of art and design form a gallery of their own to speak for their creators; and if a picture is worth a thousand words, won’t you come to experience the priceless innovation to see if it speaks to you too?

如果合作是人類互動的藝術，那麼可持續的協作就是一間成功的藝廊。《設計列陣》2018繼續與突維科技有限公司合作，向新興的年輕藝術家、插畫家、動畫師和設計師介紹其獨家的3D自動立體顯示技術。透過利用突維科技有限公司高科技的Memto™3D相框，觀眾可以欣賞靜止或移動的圖像，而無需佩戴高清晰度的3D眼鏡。

透過突維科技有限公司的裸眼3D技術，香港公開大學的一系列動畫作品得以更上一層樓，帶給觀眾煥然一新的視覺體驗。

動畫作品《狂想曲》的故事以傳統的「飲茶」場景為主。故事中的主角是一個對傳統社交場合感到厭倦的小孩，這是因為他的父母經常忽視他。因此，他用富有想像力的事物創造了一個生動有趣的冒險故事。動畫師希望強調小孩子想像力的重要性，並提醒成年人要珍惜他們的創新能力。
《暗房夜空》是一個簡短的動畫序列，描繪了一個在香港長大的同性戀年輕男孩的鬥爭故事。在為爭取LGBT權利而奮鬥的過程中，他遇到了很多困難，甚至在他的追求目標時與父親發生衝突。動畫師透過帶領觀眾通過一個迷幻的旅程以進入主角的思想，在此期間，他重新審視了他與家人、社會，以及最重要的與他自己的關係。

在《一毛所有》中，主角堅意識到他經歷過那段失敗的關係後，一直在失去頭髮。在20年的時間裡，他幾乎失去了所有的頭髮，直到有一天他重遇他的情人，最後一縷頭髮從他的頭上掉了下來。然後他意識到自己錯過了過好生活的機會，反而選擇了去擔心自己的生活（頭髮）。動畫巧妙地引用過去20年來香港的歷史事件，並引導觀眾反思自己的立場。

科幻冒險動畫《紅色拯救隊》講述了兩位太空飛行員伊巴和高俊的故事。飢荒摧毀了他們的家園，迫使他們在其他星球上尋找資源。最終，他們找到了他們正在搜索的資源，卻意外地喚醒了沉睡已久的敵人，觸發了一場高潮迭起的戰事。

《蟋界》講述了兩隻蟋蟀為了爭奪土地肥沃的棲息地而交戰的故事。 「壞蟋蟀」採用了許多計謀來侵奪「老蟋蟀」的土地，例如綁架老蟋蟀的番茄，和派出一隻巨型壁虎來鏟平他的家。動畫片《紅色拯救隊》和《蟋界》都具備非常精密的3D建模工作，而作品在突維科技有限公司的展示技術支持下亦變得廣受歡迎。

這些優秀的藝術和設計作品構成了他們自己的畫廊，為他們的創作者發聲；如果一張圖片勝過千言萬語，你為什麼不來親身體驗一下這無價的創意，看看它是否也會對你說話？
