Spherikal, an animated experiment by Ion Lucin


This is a small animation a did as an exercise to experiment and explore all the graphical possibilities of representing the idea of the SPHERE, always thinking in searching Gestalt and form. Its all done in 3d, but i was more interested in the graphical interest, flatten the surfaces, and only two colors, why more.The most difficult was to achieve the transitions between the different type of representation of the sphere, the morphing and metamorphosing.

Light Beam Art by Chris Fraser

Chris Fraser  practices the age old trick of camera obscura to manipulate light entering a dark room to create light beam art. The sharp and crisp lines of light drawn in various directions across the room appear to be the work of a laser. However the rays of light are natural and a result of stragegically placed holes in the walls and ceiling of the dark enclosed space.

Cummulus & Nimbus


We had this idea for a character, Cummulus. He was meant to be a mascot, something funny for our reel. But the longer we thought about what he could do, the more gags and characters we came up with and the whole thing grew into a fake cartoon intro thingy.

Above Second Gallery presents: ‘Journey is the Reward’ by Meggs

My good friend May who owns Above Second has brought over a great Australian artist called Meggs. If you’re in HK today it will def be worth seeing.

‘Journey is the Reward’ has become somewhat of a manifesto for my life thus far. So much so that I even have these words tattooed across my chest, a reminder for life that the process of making art and the journey of travel is just as important as the final product and solid milestones we might consider ‘achievements’ or ‘goals’. For me, making art or being an artist, is a lifestyle, a passion and life-long commitment. This has opened up a whole world of new places, people, friends and adventures, which in turn influences my artistic practices and the subject matter of my work.

‘Journey is the Reward’ at Above Second gallery represents another one of those unique experiences for me, and the work references my inspirations from my journey so far as well as the location, people and influences of Hong Kong. Somewhat a mix of Australian, American and Asian culture the pieces show the diverse effects these cultures have had on my work and my continuing exploration of duality and human emotions and experiences. – Meggs

Opening: 30th March, 2012, Time: 6pm – 10pm
30th March – 17th May, 2012

For more info and pricelist please contact: may@above-second.com

Vault of the Secret Coca-Cola Formula by Second Story

As they step through the huge vault door at the World of Coca-Cola, visitors are transported into a tale about the most famous and mysterious trade secret in history—the secret formula of Coca-Cola. Second Story, along with partners Donna Lawrence Productions and Gallagher & Associates, crafted a compelling narrative experience to delight and surprise visitors and challenge their ideas about what is fiction and what is truth about the secret formula. Second Story conceived of media and design strategies flowing from the two aspects of the secret formula: the secrecy and mystery surrounding it, and the fun that comes from simply enjoying the product. This concept fueled the design and development of twelve media experiences that help deliver the visitor toward the exhibit’s cinematic climax.
