deTour 2021 is divided into three main exhibitions presented via \n37 workshops and 12 design lectures in both virtual and physical formats, available to the public \nfor free:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
International \nCollaboration: Sputniko! “Red Silk of Fate \u2013 The Shrine”<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
There’s a single common \nsymbol that ties together Chinese, Japanese and Korean mythologies: the “Red \nSilk of Fate”. Believed to be tied by the gods to two people that are destined \nto be together.<\/p>\n
It is the common subject \nfor Japanese-British artist Sputniko!, who has brought the symbol to life with \nbiotech scientists from NIAS, spun by engineered silkworms and injected with \nthe social-bonding love hormone, oxytocin. Featured through a selection of \nmediums, from costume design to Japanese short films, each offers an \nalternative possibility and potential to the red silk thread. <\/p>\n
For deTour 2021, \nespecially Sputniko! has collaborated with local design firm, Napp Studio & \nArchitects, for a brand-new reimagining of this mythical silk thread. Carefully \nribboned through a piece of fabric, the piece is folded to replicate an ancient \nshrine that’s dedicated to love. It carries new meanings of beliefs and \ndesires, emotions and purpose. Backed by diffused lighting to mimic the soft \nglow of moonlight, guests are encouraged to admire the ornate floral patterns, \nand with the ancient lore still fresh in mind, reflect on the meaning of \nemotion and connection during the time of social distancing, and how innovative \nbiotechnology has granted new meanings to time-honoured tales.<\/p>\n
Curators’ \nChoice: Four design installations that present the power of collaboration<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n\nPhilosophy \nx Design: I know not what CAF\u00c9 (Upper left)<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nYour \neveryday coffee run is transformed as an experiment; a captivating performance. \nIn “I know not what CAF\u00c9, designed by Dr Li Hong Ting from local initiative \nCorrupt The Youth and local designer Renatus Wu, the ordinary coffee-shop \nexperience is completely renewed.<\/p>\n \nWherever your go-to spot may be, it is the cup of coffee that defines the \nexperience \u2013\u2013 design often relegated to a second after-thought. “I know not \nwhat CAF\u00c9” flips this traditional model and brings design to the forefront to \ndemonstrate how the subtle function of spatial design can shape the coffee shop \nexperience \u2013\u2013 and personal perspectives \u2013\u2013 as a whole. <\/p>\n\nSound \nx Design: The Interpreter (Upper right)<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nJust \nlike a piece of virtuosic music, language has its own rhythm and beat. Listen \nclosely and you’ll notice a change in languages will show a change in prosodic \npatterns: English, for example, is stress-timed, meaning some syllables are \nlonger; others shorter. Cantonese, on the other hand, is syllable-timed, with \nsyllables all of equal lengths; introducing an unmistakable sense of rhythm in \nevery conversation.<\/p>\n“The \nInterpreter” explores the space between sound and music. Ideated by instrument \ndesigner Ng Chak Lam of Oblik Soundwork with Sociolinguist Dr Jackie Jia Lou, \nthis sound installation records casual dialogue and transposes into a series of \nsounds and rhythms performed by a band of musical instruments that repositions \neveryday conversation into melodic musicals.<\/p>\n\nTypography X Design: Type\u201311 (Lower left)<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDoes<\/p>\ntypography matter?<\/p>\nThis three-part showcase from psychologist Dr Cheung Sing Hang, typographer \nKeith Tam and graphic designer Mak Kai Hang, is presented via Type-11, a \nconvenience store that explores the presence of typography in our everyday \nlives. It introduces real-life decisions that typographers face when designing \nfor various situations:<\/p>\nHow do minor design decisions influence particular perceptions for the \nefficiency of communication? Type-11 invites viewers to share their own \npreferences as readers and discuss common typeset issues when reading different \ncircumstances, i.e traditional print from a screen.<\/p>\n\n\nSports \nx Design: Strong Hold Pavilion (Lower right)<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe<\/p>\ngrowing popularity of bouldering has opened up new avenues for a deeper<\/p>\nunderstanding of the sport. Indoor bouldering, for example, relies on more<\/p>\nconversation and communication of discussions regarding climbing routes and techniques<\/p>\nin comparison to outdoor climbing. More importantly, it allows encouragement<\/p>\nthat can effectively motivate climbers to push further.<\/p>\nHong Kong rock climbing athlete, Au Chi Fung, joins sustainable designer, Match \nChen, in the creation of “Strong Hold Pavilion”, an experimental installation \nthat explores the effectiveness of team camaraderie and verbal motivation. Can \nthe presence of a full team push you further than an individual practice? \nGuided by a common training technique in sport climbing \u2013\u2013 “hang-boarding” \u2013\u2013 \nviewers are challenged to physically put this theory to the test and discover \nthe “useful” and ‘uselessness” of team camaraderie and verbal motivation in the \noccasion of self-performance.<\/p>\nSelected Entries: 10 locally sourced design groups share \ncreative angles<\/u><\/b> <\/b><\/p>\ndeTour has always operated as an inspiration space for \ncreativity and open exchange between various design facets.

Wood \nscraps are ingeniously engineered with bionics to replicate the spine, with industry hardware \nposing as tendons and muscles. It presents a moving art installation that asks, “Can we replicate function \nshapes of bones in design?” Like those in the human body, the ‘bones’ are subjected to “evolution” overtime to learn new functions \u2013\u2013 in this case, the adding of connecting \nparts impart new meaning and a structural purpose to defunct pieces of wood.<\/li>\n“Work in the Woods” (Right) –\u00a0Ideated \nby three architects, Anson Kwan, Jackie Cheung and Ryan Tung, who collectively graduated from the Bartlett School of \nArchitecture at the University of London, “Work in the Woods” subjects its viewer to a futuristic look into a mixed work-life \nreality in Hong Kong’s micro apartments.
