Academic terminology can be overwhelming to novice researchers. One website that helped me to get started was SAGE research methods. This poster portrays multiple terms and their parent-child relationships, as I saw the on the site on July 2020.
2020: Tang Priest’s Journey to the West borrows the storyline of Tang Xuanzhang’s (Tang Priest) classical historical odyssey to the Western Regions as a probe into the question of what “context” means in today’s world. The project contains a series of imagination of the monk’s movable device at different time points of his journey. As the monk’s journey proceeds, his installation is continuously expanded, demolished, or partly replaced in respond to the change in his contexts, namely, climate of his geographical location, the events he encountered, and the volume of sacred objects accumulated. At the end of the story, the mobile pod at the beginning settles down as a permanent residence, as the Monk’s journey comes to an end. Going through all stages of the Monk’s life, this installation is like a direct reflection of his life story.
Three strategic landfills in Hong Kong will be saturated by 2020."Hong Kong is facing a landfill-saturation issue and its potential extension to the urban areas. In an attempt of response, the Hong Kong government has established three waste-to-energy facilities in Hong Kong since 2013. But this is not enough to solve the problem. The problem stems from the landfill logic itself that is, like a burial post, burying waste under the ground for an indefinite time, without thinking about what’s next.Rethinking the countermeasures implemented by the government may be a hint of what tomorrow can propose and achieve. Could waste be transformed into useful resources under the promotion of futuristic visions and technologies? What if the landfills no longer bury the waste but swallow it, sorting it for storage and potential re-use? What if the landfill “eats itself” in the very end?"Landfill Overflow ? OVERHAUL !" is a project rethinking the future landfill system through radical “underground” infrastructural design. Beyond structural exploration aiming at the creation of a “digestive system”, it provides spaces for different facilities, such as incineration and power generation, factories and laboratories, etc…
We are the Generation Y, as we born and grow up with the Hong Kong Administrative Era, we are the creature of the era without experiencing any era shifting. It is no doubt that we have the sharpness vision on elaborating our current era and values in Hong Kong. “2020” is an authorship project to represent our vision, aims to provide an alternative vision for Hong Kong citizens to coexist in current Hong Kong. Substitutes into the young generation's vision to elaborate on the Hong Kong values in Hong Kong Administration Era (1997-2047). “2020” is a project through 22 Hong Kong individual values, to create 22 conceptual explorations, to clarify people could base on individual values to influence Hong Kong society, to figure out G(Y) imagination to Hong Kong values and future.
