EndedPaintingInstallationVideo
Curated by the ‘In Time Of’ project by Nan Fung Group, Foreseen 2099 is co-founded by local artists Flyingpig and Kachi Chan. This initiative aims to explore the integration of art, technology, and cultural heritage conservation. An extension of the innovative efforts of Foreseen Property Agency (2023), the current iteration engages community participation and digital archival technology, transporting the audience to the Hong Kong of 75 years after. Through a creative speculation of the year 2099, it studies the current practices and future development of six restoration-related shops to reassess the historical and cultural value and significance of Hong Kong's traditional small businesses. Since October 2024, the Foreseen team has visited and recorded six restoration-related shops in Tsuen Wan and San Po Kong, conducting on-site inspections and using digital technology to transform their spaces, objects, characters, stories, and craftsmanship into an online archive. These shops include businesses such as appliance repair, clothing alteration, jewellery, and metalwork, reminding us of an era when people preferred repairing to replacing, embodying the spirit of sustainability. In addition to the online database, physical installations are also set up at Nan Fung Place in Sheung Wan, The Mills in Tsuen Wan, and AIRSIDE in Kai Tak to showcase the vision of sustainable community development and cultural continuity....
