  TRANSMISSION : EXPERIENCE

  posted in N E W S

  H O K O will be presenting the film + book titled ” a man, about ” for this exhibition. Hope to see you there!

  TRANSMISSION: EXPERIENCE creates an outlet for telling and circulating stories and interpretations materializing through art and design. Whether involving mental, physical or virtual, a dredged- up or residual memory of an experience will continue to reside in one’s mind. Through examining the extraction, conservation and continuation of personal stories and memories to be preserved for posterity, memories are temporarily made tangible in this exhibition. Drawing upon the common theme that characterize our existence and shape lives, it aptly sets the stage for what brings together diversity- experiences.

  hand-made with taiwanese cypress wood, this DIY box contains all the tools needed to make a jar of candied kumquats.

  

  a big family signed up for the workshop. we took this opportunity to put our DIY box to use.

  

  we like the idea of slowing people down, to enjoy a slow and relaxing process of making candied kumquats with the tools from the box.

  

  poking the fresh kumquats with toothpicks…

  

  adding sugar and salt …
