Theme Story - Rethinking The Relationship Between Design And Self / An Exploration Of Object-Oriented Ontology
SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute
The influence of design extends far beyond mere form and function; it subtly shapes the way we exist. Ontology, the philosophical study of "being", examines the nature, categories, and interrelations of various entities in the world. Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) further subverts traditional subject-object perspectives by asserting that objects are not merely passive accessories to human actions but possess their own meanings and agency. This philosophical approach has not only inspired artistic creation but has also profoundly impacted contemporary design.
Theme Story - The Interweaving Of Reality And Virtuality / The Significance Of The Online World To Real Identity
SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute
In modern society, our identities extend beyond the names and faces we present in real life. The development of the online world has provided us with the opportunity to shape new selves in the digital realm. From daily sharing on Facebook to creating unique avatars in the metaverse, virtual spaces influence how we present ourselves and alter how we interact with others. We traverse different platforms, engaging with the world through diverse forms of identity—sometimes as an extension of our authentic selves, and, at other times, as a means of concealment.

Theme Story - Discovering Your Image, Identity, And Position
SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute
Fashion is more than just clothing; design transcends mere aesthetic desire and becomes a journey of self-discovery. In our daily choices, how do we use design to weave our identities?
From the luxurious garments of royalty to the casual T-shirts and jeans of the masses, clothing serves not just to cover our bodies but as a medium for expressing identity, preferences, and cultural backgrounds. Whether it's a basic white T-shirt or a limited edition sneaker collaboration, these choices conceal a narrative of self-expression. Fashion acts as a "non-verbal message" in our lives, allowing individuals to showcase their personal styles without …

Theme Story - From Gender Stereotypes To Multicultural Transformation
SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute
Over the past few decades, societal perceptions of gender roles have undergone a seismic shift. Traditionally, boys and girls were assigned distinct roles, leading to stereotypes regarding behaviour, interests, and career choices.

Theme Story - Inclusive Design / The Aesthetics Of Gender Neutrality
SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute
In today's rapidly changing society, gender labels are being re-examined and deconstructed. From personal attire to corporate spaces, the role of design extends beyond mere functionality to become a conduit for ideas. Gender is not only a cultural symbol or a marker of social identity; it is a fluid spectrum. As traditional gender boundaries blur, designers are beginning to question what true freedom is. How can design enable everyone to express their authentic selves without restraint? "Inclusive design" responds to these questions, transcending gender frameworks to make products, spaces, and experiences more flexible and open. This approach not only meets …
Theme Story - Breaking The Dichotomy Of Gender / How Non-Binary Concepts Influence Contemporary Fashion, Art, And Interior Design
SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute
In recent years, the binary opposition of gender has begun to disintegrate, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards the acceptance of diverse identities. We are living in a time that champions the recognition of multiple identities and advocates for the freedom of self-expression. The rise of gender-neutral design is not merely a change in design trends; it represents a significant social phenomenon. It serves as a reminder that rigid stereotypes should confine no individual's existence. Whether it is the clothing we wear, the furniture we choose for our homes, or the art we create, all these elements explore a central …

Theme Story - A Wave Of Virtual Products Is Sweeping The Globe How It Could Redefine The Future Of The Film And Television Industry
SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Media forms like music videos, streaming services and even blockbuster Hollywood films have exemplified this inextricable link. In the past three to four years, though, virtual productions have swept through the world and have been described by insiders in the United States and Europe as marking a "point of no return" for the overall industry due to their real-time ability to produce special effects content. Such technology is gaining momentum in Hong Kong too. In March 2024, an international-level professional virtual production …
