Our collaboration with Wholly Wholly to design for a Hong Kong Calligraphy Archive exhibition at the Hong Kong International Airport for the HKIA Arts and Culture Festival 2025. This exhibition, through a dynamic mix of experiences - including multimedia displays, innovative printmaking techniques and interactive designs - invites visitors to reflect anew on the significance of calligraphic art in everyday life, and to explore its future possibilities and adaptability.
It is a first of many:
- first collection of various applied Chinese calligraphy artefacts
- first use of UV fluoresent ink to print Chinese calligraphy
- first exhibition of Hong Kong signboard history in the form of a baggage carousel
- first use of kinectic LED wall in Hong Kong
