In support of local art development, Sino group initiated the project "Art in Hong Kong" whereby they present art exhibitions through out selected Sino Group properties. This is the website that helps track and promote the various events.
The site may well be a couple years old but it still strikes me as a well executed effort. I'm always a sucker for adhoc illustration. But while spatial interfaces have their uses I can't help but think that this website is entirely ineffective. I thought we left the room metaphor with early cd-rm development. The website looks more like an attempt by the design team to impress themselves and their peers versus actually as a resource to promote the project itself.

Ricardo Dominguez calls himself an "artivist." Half political activism and half art, Ricardo's projects blur the boundaries between the aesthetic and the political. "We always view our activism within the frame of art and the poetic," said Ricardo. Ricardo was part of a team that was recently awarded the Transnational Communities Award for a Transborder Immigrant Tool that uses GPS-enabled mobile phones to help immigrants crossing the border between Mexico and the United States.Link.
