Wind Shines - A mesmerizing community art installation with an environmental message.
“ i Light Aldrich Bay” was one of the curational series presented by Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and organised by Art Promotion Office (APO).Hong Kong Public Space Initiative (HKPSI) served as a co-organiser who was responsible for curating "Take PARK in Art" as an extended programme of "City Dress Up: Seats．Together" to engage with the public in a series of cross-disciplinary art-making activities in different public spaces of Hong Kong.
Venue: Aldrich Bay Park and Eastern Community Green Station
Period: 17.2 — 17.3.2019
By organizing two workshops in collaboration with Artist Dylan Kwok and plastic upcycling group GAAU1 UP at Eastern Community Green Station, we led the residents of Eastern District to transform a batch of recycled plastic and glass bottles into wind-powered LED light art pieces. Following these workshops, the previous participants and other residents in the neighbourhood participated in the "i Light Up! Artwork Light Up Party", placing the bottles inside the water feature of Aldrich Bay Park as a co-created art installation Wind Shines which lit up the park and echoed with the sea breeze.
The Light Feature was one of Winners in Interactive Lighting Projects / Landscape Lighting / Low Carbon Lighting of the 2019 LIT Lighting Design Awards.
