Tai Kwun InnerGlow 2023 (Art On The Heritage Facades) & #HPUD

April 1, 2023

I must say that Tai Kwun has been my favorite spot to visit in Central. Each time I would go to the capital city, I would always spend a small amount of time wandering around Tai Kwun. It isn't just an ordinary place. There are a lot of good spots to visit inside this center for heritage and art. Up until now, I still have long overdue photos and a complete blog about this place has not been written yet.

My favorite part of Tai Kwun is the different workshops and art exhibitions. Just this January, specifically during Chinese New Year, I visited the place before dawn and spend my time until night. I witnessed the projection art exhibition called Inner Glow.

The InnerGlow 2023 was the 2nd exhibition after the 1st successful Innerglow in the previous year, particularly in September. The success of this exhibition was mainly due to the great collaboration of some talented artists and a foreign-based technical group. What made it even more special was the main player of the exhibition was the architecture of Tai Kwun himself. The Electric Canvas, a technology company based in Australia which is known for large-scale projection was the main technical group of the event. Source

The projected art exhibition started at six thirty in the evening and was played every thirty minutes until nine, and each show lasted for about five minutes. There were two projector houses placed on both corners of the parade ground in front of the main Tai Kwun building. You can see that tiny house with glowing lights. It was where the projector was played.

The Innerglow started projecting blue hues onto the building facades as preparation. Originally, the color of the building is plain white. As the sci-fi-like energizing music was on, it was an indication that the show would start in a minute. People gathered on the parade ground to witness this incredible projection art exhibition with their phones' cameras on.

The colorful animation and images were projected onto the heritage building's facade. Hong Kong's traditional festivities, fireworks, images, and different geometric designs are just some of those shown in the exhibition.

I was uncertain though if the same animation was projected each dayk as I saw different images on Facebook which I haven't seen in the night I watched the InnerGlow.

Since it was Chinese New Year by that time, there was an image of a bunny hopping onto the tree's crown on some occasions. People probably didn't notice it as they were focused on the large-scale projection on the facades.

The art projection exhibition lasted for almost four minutes which happened every after thirty minutes. I stayed in the parade ground until seven thirty and got a chance to watch two parts. You can watch the video on 3Speak. It's composed of two different videos. However, on the second, I was probably wearing a headset so the audio wasn't able to record. I just opted to use the first audio for the whole video.

Apart from the InnerGlow, the light decorations stretching across the world's longest escalator going to Tai Kwun was another attraction.

One of these days, I'll write a complete blog about Tai Kwun.

In addition to this blog, today is the first day of the month. Thus, it's Hive Power Up Day! An additional 100 HP has been added to my staked HP along with the 100 HBD.

Happy April Fool's Day everyone. But I don't wanna get fooled this month though, not especially with the market stats.

Thanks for stopping by and happy weekend.
