Reflect and speculate
Minding the Digital is a large-scale, speculative exhibition curated by Carrie Chan and her team. The exhibition reflects on the impact of digitalization by showcasing works of over 50 international and Chinese design practices, such as Joris Laarman, Nick Verstand, Iris van Herpen, Jenny Sabin Studio and Ying Gao.
Playing ping-pong
Thonik programmed the key visual. RGB colour patches are floating in a white background. The typography is turned into a computer-generated gatekeeper that keeps the coloured blobs in place. This basic mechanism of ping-pong illustrates the transitory interaction between man and technology. The choice of colour, the basic RGB, speaks of the spectrum of the digital era. The combination of three colours also echoes the three sections in the exhibition: encounter, interaction and participation.
