In the rapidly evolving cityscape of Hong Kong, where districts transform with the turn of a decade, "The Lost Metropolis" stands as a testimony to places once teeming with stories, now on the brink of erasure. But as a viewer embarks on this digital journey of discovery, another equally intricate layer unfolds – the story behind the story.
香港的城市風貌日新月異，十年一變遷，《情迷香港》紀錄了那些滿載故事卻又瀕臨消失的地方。當觀者踏上這趟數位探索之旅的時候，故事背後的故事亦隨之揭莫。
"Intersections" pulls back the curtain on the multifaceted journey of creating "The Lost Metropolis". A nod to the inherent interdisciplinary nature of this project, the installation presents itself as a 3D graph – a tangible network of nodes that represent articles detailing various stages of the project. From exploratory excursions and intimate oral history interviews, to the challenges and intricacies of photogrammetry scans, custom coding, and robotic design, every node is a doorway into the depth of this endeavor. These articles aren't mere journals; they are gateways that depict how art is often a culmination of various disciplines converging.
But "Intersections" is not just about showcasing the process; it emphasizes the interconnectedness of all its facets. A location's history informs a technical requirement, which in turn could be related to the very essence of the place. This dynamic web of connections highlights how intertwined the past, present, and future really are, and how every technical challenge and solution has a narrative rooted in the locale's essence.
And as viewers navigate through this constellation of experiences, they're also offered portals that transport them directly into the referenced locations within "The Lost Metropolis". A seamless interplay between the creation and its background, "Intersections" invites one to appreciate the symbiotic relationship between art and the tools that give it form. Dive deep, explore the interstices, and emerge with an enriched understanding of the delicate balance between preserving history and forging the future.
《相交點》揭示了《情迷香港》多面向的創作過；為了體現是次項目的跨界別實驗性質，空間裝置以三維圖形方式呈現，似把過程當中的每個節點連結述現。由探索性的走訪以至口述歷史的訪談、從攝影測量掃描到定制編碼與機器人設計等，每個節點都是通過深度理解項目的大門。這些文本不僅僅用以紀錄，它們更體現了藝術往往是跨學科的交滙結晶。
然而《相交點》並不只是要展示創作過程，而是強調各面向相交的關聯性。一個地方的歷史會影響對技術的要求，而技術要求又往往與特定地方的本質相連。環環相扣之下，這種動態的系統關係彰顯了過去、現在與未來如何交織在一起，以及每一項技術的挑戰和解決方案是如何根植於特定地方的本質。
當觀者在這些體驗中穿梭遊歷，他們可以通過「傳送門」(portal) 進入《情迷香港》中的相關地點。《相交點》邀請觀者去體會藝術與科技工具之間的共生關係；嘗試深入其中，探索其中的相交點，讓人對保存歷史與開創未來之間的微妙平衡有更深的理解。
