Due to rapid industrialization, Hong Kong needed to make space for packaging and printing processes. Thus, In the 1980s, Kwun Tong became the hub for printing factories. However, nowadays, many of these printing factories have been closed or relocated to the Pearl River Delta. This serves as a reflection on the old Kwun Tong as a printing hub.

The installation “Printing Kwun Tong” commemorates the now faded printing industry. The installation “prints” the user’s silhouette with the CMYK primary colors used in Offset Printing. The printing industry in Kwun Tong may entirely fade out one day, but we hope that this industry can be redefined and celebrated, as a part of Hong Kong’s history.

We are using a pioneer interactive motor system, but to demonstrate the CMYK graphic in a contemporary and sustainable way. Our design mechanics combine the old traditions with new technology to create this installation. Namely the old brush and motor mechanics coupled with the new computer scripting technology.



在1980年代，觀塘因工業化迅速發展成為了印刷廠的樞紐。 但是如今，許多印刷廠已經關閉或搬遷到珠江三角洲。 此裝置反映了以前作為印刷中心的觀塘。

這裝置紀念如今衰落的印刷業。該藝術裝置將使用柯式印刷的四種原色「列印」出參與者的剪影。觀塘的印刷業終有一天可能會完全消失，但我們希望可以重新定義和頌揚這夕陽行業，以此作為香港歷史的一部分。
我們使用的是首創的互動式電機系統，其以現代且可持續的方式展示了CMYK圖形。 我們的設計機械結合了傳統與新技術來創造這裝置，舊的毛掃與汽車機械結合，再加上新的計算機腳本技術。
