Hong Kong’s maritime heritage takes center stage in ARTS · TECH Exhibition 3.0 – The Lighthouse, a free multimedia installation running from June 14 to July 13 at Ocean Terminal Deck, Harbour City.
Organized by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the exhibition blends neon art, sound, and technology to explore the city’s cultural identity.
Curated by Joel Kwong and media artist Keith Lam, the showcase features a towering neon lighthouse sculpture overlooking Victoria Harbour.
Interactive elements—like a wave-activated sound booth—invite visitors to reflect on Hong Kong’s past as a fishing village and its modern skyline of "urban beacons."
"The harbour’s neon lights guide us home. This work connects the pulse of the sea and city, rekindling emotional ties,” said Keith Lam.
While Joel Kwong noted that a lighthouse is both guardian and guide: “We hope visitors rediscover what ‘home’ means."
Highlights include:
Live performance (June 28): Lam and pianist Daniel Chu will improvise a soundscape using real-time wave data.
Documentary screening and sharing session: Lighthouse Memories - Cape D'Aguilar, which delves into Hong Kong’s oldest lighthouse.
Guided tours: Explore the installation’s creative vision along the waterfront.
All programmes are free of charge. Spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Register online now: https://www.popticket.hk/event/lighthouse
