Professor Eric Yim said, “Design is everywhere, influencing every aspect of our lives, from our urban environments to our homes to our clothes to our food. It’s also an important contributor to the economies of cities like Hong Kong and Melbourne. With that in mind, the Business of Design Week’s City Programme, which is organised by the Hong Kong Design Centre, aims to bring design closer to the general public of this city, engaging them, and reminding them of its importance, while also helping to foster collaboration among local businesses and brands. It does that in a couple of different ways. First of all, our 10 anchor sites around Hong Kong are covering over 100 individual happenings and guided tours. On top of that, there are also events at nearly 200 satellite sites around the city, featuring shopping and dining offers, and community education projects.”

Through a series of creative collisions, “BODW CityProg” encourages local creative organisations, brands and designers to use their imaginations and expressions, and to enhance their contact, connections and collaboration with the industry and the public, so that local design can be continuously improved, not only at the level of industry and commerce, but may also practically and flexibly integrate into the daily living of the people of Hong Kong. Ultimately, the connotation of design can spread, take root and grow in an ever-changing social environment. 1

The 6-metre-diametre “Sonic Light Bubble” installation created by designers hailing from Melbourne, BODW Partner City, makes its debut in Hong Kong As BODW Partner City this year, the Australian city of Melbourne fully supports CityProg by bringing to Hong Kong the multimedia design installation “Sonic Light Bubble” for its first time. Designed by the Australian design studio ENESS, headed by the award-winning interactive experience designer Nimrod Weis, the 6-metre-diametre bubble is installed with numerous LED plates and able to respond to visitors’ touches or approach with light and sounds just like an organic self-illuminated object. Come and immerse into pulses of light at No. 7 Mallory Street in Wan Chai until 9 December, to take inspiration from the designer Nimrod Weis and see how he and his team shed light on the coalescence of design and technology.

A 14-meter-high “Golden Monkey” inflatable sculpture climbing on the façade of H CODE in Central, provoking reflections on humans and nature Australian artist Lisa Roet works closely with primatologists and taxonomists to blend both science and creativity in her practice as an artist. Her intimate contact with primates, apes and monkeys gives Lisa Roet’s work a unique artistic appeal. This time, she will bring her sculpture “Golden Monkey” to Hong Kong. The inflatable golden monkey with a height of 14 metres will be displayed from today to 28 February 2019, climbing to 75 metres above the ground on H CODE’s high façade. H CODE is located close to the highest point of . It is a landmark that combines activities such as creativity, work and entertainment, which promises to attract public attention.

This work is based on the endangered Burmese Golden Sneezing Snub-Nosed Monkey, whose nose and long tail are the most prominent features of this species. Although humans have only discovered this monkey species not long ago, the number of Burmese Golden Sneezing Snub-Nosed Monkeys is extremely limited, and they currently only exist in southern China and parts of Vietnam and Myanmar. As the habitat continues to encounter deforestation, the fate of the endangered Golden Sneezing Snub- Nosed Monkey is uncertain. A notable feature of the primates is that they sneeze. The artist aims at combining the image of the Burmese Golden Sneezing Snub-Nosed Monkey with the bustling metropolis, and trying to stimulate discussions about the relationship between urban development and the environment, humans and Mother Nature, and the question of sustainability.
