傳統園林的湖石造型獨特,千奇百怪,令人產生無限聯想:凝固的海浪、白雲、各種動植物、甚 至山水清音......這些都成為文學、繪畫等的創作靈感。 湖石奇想是由香港賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助,設計及文化研究工作室主辦,「賽馬會『敲敲記 憶』藝術科技及文化教育計劃」開發的互動應用程式,期望公衆以輕鬆有趣的方式,體會自然如 何引發人們想像,創作出獨一無二的作品。 Traditional gardens are full of unique porous stones, which evoke endless associations with frozen waves, white clouds, various animals and plants, mountains, and even the clear sound of waters...They are all creative inspirations for literary works, and paintings. Porous Stone Fantasy, funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, is “The Jockey Club‘How Memory Sticks 2.0’Arts Tech and Culture Education Programme” interactive application developed by the Design and Cultural Studies Workshop, which is designed for the public to experience in an easy and fun way how nature can inspire people’s imagination to create unique works.
