Invited to create an public artwork I proposed using Cantonese conjunctions. This turned into the transformation of a n unfinished glazed room into a very special Lounge with an interactive LED panel light by evocative focussed beam Optiled focussed lights. Al any had to do is text connect.respond@ vtc.hk and they could add any words in any color to the green conjunctions floating by. At the opening McYan, the activist musician and his friend Phil added word on either side of the conjunction and making Justice and Bananas. Then they got up and positioned on either side moved across the room as if they were pushing their phrase along the length of the room!
