Final Execution(31 March 2013)

/Venue 1/
Benches with bars in between (of any materials)



- They are all long enough to let people lay down, yet adding the iron bar to stop people to do it.
/Solution/
- To fill up the space between bars
- Use pillows/cushion to fill up, it also generates a comfortable and cozy feeling


/Venue 2/
Mongkok under the footbridge near fish street

- These stone columns filled up the whole area, not letting people nearby to put their goods and stocks under the footbridge, yet it also provides inconvenience to people who want to rest
/Solution/
Make seat/ place chairs on top of the columns, to generates a smooth and flat surface

/Venue3/
A Park at Choi Hung Estate
 
- These chairs were separated very far apart, making people cannot forma better gathering circle 
/Solution/
Put a fabric in between to make a seat

/Venue4/
Columns at the entrance of parks 
- There are many iron columns in Sham Po Kong, some of them are made to stop cars' entering a certain area. yet most of them fail to do that. 
-Since these columns are made for stopping cars, I do not intended to put them into my work series this time.
 
/Venue 5/
 
****************
Need to analyze more of the location: (might be include) historical, cultural, people's activities

物化



http://www.urbanphoto.net/blog/2010/11/24/nap-time/#more-11170
最令我關注的
是我們跟城市的關係

我們的身份是甚麼?
我們可以做/ 不可以做, 是由誰決定呢?
城市VS城市人, 誰是主誰是客?

城市人不再流連舊式公共空間
跑到商場去
待在室內
城市化, 令人的行為模式改變
是好是壞, 沒有絕對答案

在城市化的背景下
人被物化
城市是活的
人是死的

大家都變得面目模糊

execution

Over the past few weeks, I have been thinking about the execution of the project.

After reviewing the previous findings and researches, I would like to go further on the soft rules underlying in our city. I am interested in design of chairs: there are mainly in two types: long benches and separate with another; long bench with iron bars. 

I think those objects can keep us tight together, but at the same time, can make us separate further with other people. 

As the city separated us apart, we have to link us together again. 

So I will use fabric and strings as the linkage, and invite people around to finish my work.

新人類

新人類會以甚麼的方式出現?

隨著城市統一化,人類的生活環境、文明文化漸被整合,加上全球化的趨勢,文化差異距離拉平,不久,人類的思維、行為模式不外乎數十種,而相貌表情語氣也晃如同出一轍。

複製人的出現,科技不是直接主因;城市規劃、教育模式、全球化文化才是源頭。
另外,互聯網的出現拉近人的距離,拉近文化的距離,模糊人的思想、面孔。

假如十二月二十一日的世界末日其實是千年蟲突襲,電子物品完全失靈,全人類重歸黑暗,分散於世界上每一角落,我們再一次重拾最原始的技能,也重新互相建立信任、然後相依,我們重歸土地,依賴土地,人,再次成為人。
