LONG TIME NO SEE

AN INTERACTIVE EXHIBITION BY BO LAW
PMQ, HONG KONG
DEC 01, 2016 – MARCH 31, 2017

“LONG TIME NO SEE,” an interactive exhibition at PMQ captures a moment in the past at the heart of Hong Kong through ‘A Virtual Encounter with Neighborly Nostalgia.’  The exhibition celebrates the blend of culture, architecture and lifestyle that is unique to “Old Hong Kong,” and in particular, the community that lived in the former police married quarters.

The centerpiece of the exhibition is an immersive mural featuring Central Hong Kong’s major landmarks that freezes a moment in this unique community’s heritage. The mural includes heritage buildings such as Tai Kwun, Central Market, Man Mo Temple and the Kom Tong Hall, which is today the Dr Sun Yat Sen memorial museum. Illustrated in a modern and accessible style, the mural allows visitors to experience a unique mix of life that straddles both past and present. To create an even more engaging experience the exhibition uses augmented reality (AR) technology to bring parts of the mural alive on the smartphone screen, accessible via a free AR app available in major app stores.
