The new crown pneumonia epidemic affects all walks of life, not only restricting people's travel, but also art exhibitions have been stopped several times.
An art curator and photography team formed the "Exhibition Rescue Team under the Epidemic" to help venues and pavilions affected by the epidemic and close to zero crowds. They were edited through VR virtual reality, aerial photography, and video recording to make the best version for the public to browse. The website is accompanied by a tour guide to explain the atmosphere. It is like entering the venue in person to feel the atmosphere, and at the same time documenting the local art exhibition in Hong Kong, so that community reconstruction or local hand-made exhibitions that are about to disappear will not be "hidden in the market" during the outbreak of the epidemic. .
Walk from the exit of Siu Hong Station of West Rail Station to Qingshan School in Qingliang Fayuan, Tuen Mun. If you don’t get lost, it will take about ten minutes to arrive. However, there is a notice that the epidemic will be closed at the door, so many people don’t even know that the kindergarten will become a community. The Qingshan School of the Casphalt Cafe, the experimental venue, has held different types of exhibitions or workshops for many years. It has also been operated as a semi-vegetarian restaurant and a semi-exhibition venue. So far, the art and literature filming team "moment guides" rushed to the restaurant last weekend Before the official closure at the end of the month, 360 panoramic VR virtual reality shooting and aerial photography will be conducted for the last installation art exhibition, which will be edited into the essence version and posted on the website for browsing.
The epidemic has caused almost zero crowds at the exhibition
"Although many (exhibition) venues can still be opened, the number of (visiting) exhibition venues has dropped drastically." As an artist and writer, and a team of curators who also served as lecturers for many universities, Asan, seeing that during the outbreak, the exhibitions held by many local artists or art event curators became unheard of, so he Xiang Yi The Development Bureau applied for project funding, successfully obtained funding for filming work, and invited art critics to the scene, while commenting on the overall exhibition, related cultural issues and individual works, making short videos and posting them in text, while avatar " "Online tour guide" will be edited into a virtual reality scene and put it on the website for the public to freely click on different angles in the venue, and then will be narrated and explained by art critics, allowing the public to visit the venue in person.
The exhibitions that the team is responsible for shooting include not only the exhibition halls showing local carpentry handwork or microscopic sketches in the dark, but also the historical documentary exhibition held by the Kowloon City Civil Service Cooperative before the disappearance of the community after the redevelopment was announced by the Urban Renewal Authority in the middle of last year. All were affected by the epidemic and became almost zero crowds. “One of the exhibitions on Danan Street, Sham Shui Po, was actually within the (compulsory) quarantine area. When it was designated as a quarantine area, there were shops nearby. No one goes there for the week."

Virtual reality helps the audience experience
Asan pointed out that unlike the venues under the management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, private exhibitions have no government funding and lack of resources to do record work. The team is just a complement to record social issues worthy of public attention and review the history of art and literature in the future. Make a contribution.
"For example, the Kowloon City Civil Service Cooperative Exhibition is about urban renewal. Hong Kong has had it in the past ten to twenty years ago, including the revitalization of Lee Tung Street and Kwun Tong in Wan Chai. This type of exhibition is worthy of everyone's attention, and the curators use it. Ways to awaken everyone to consider how to rebuild the city? After the redevelopment, what is the point of everyone's life? What will happen in the future?
A Le, the team’s head of virtual reality and photo shooting, added, “I believe that every exhibition or performance art needs VR. Compared with photography or video, this method is believed to be a more complete record. Later, it was a database of literature records in Hong Kong."
Curator Asan believes that the epidemic will become a catalyst for the virtualization of local exhibitions. In the future, more organizers will accelerate the holding of online or VR virtual reality exhibitions, but emphasizes that it will not affect the actual experience of the venue. "For example, digital photography, video works, and even Almost it is already a media art, and it has been produced in a program or on a computer platform, which may be more suitable (virtual exhibition); ceramic works, prints, installation works, there are objects and materials, it is better to return to the physical exhibition, the simplest example A large-scale painting may be taller than a person. The painter department hopes that you will be surrounded by the painting department in front of the picture to experience, but when it comes to the phone (open) it will only be a picture." He expects virtual reality. Scenery or video recording is only one of the online exhibitions. It is hoped that more teams will develop more methods and promote the popularization of art and literature.
With a donation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the ADC has launched a special subsidy "Arts Go Digital Art Digital Platform Project" (project), hoping to inspire the creativity of cultural and art workers, and develop digital or virtual art content through technology (digital production) ), to respond with art to a society that has greatly changed life patterns under the new coronavirus epidemic, promote social integration and interaction with the audience, broaden the public's understanding and investment in art, and further integrate art into life.

Among them, the guides were funded to record six exhibitions with digital production methods and put them on the line to show the diversified art to the public. , Provide a different experience.
