<h3>Dream Big Think Small </h3><p>In the past 2 years we have been reinventing the way we live. From individual to social, study to work to leisure, and even reality to the metaverse, a lot has changed and we are still reinventing and adapting at the same time. This gave us the opportunity to rethink and reimagine what we were used to, and how we want the future to be. From a personal level to a society, we can create a new identity for ourselves or even an online society. Thomas Thwaites even thought about taking a holiday from being human. It’s almost like designing our own dream.</p><p>What is a dream? Asleep we dream. Without a purpose as it may seem, it is more than just an imaginary adventure. Studies have shown we dream to process the data collected, some we remember, some we don’t. For those that stay after waking up, they could be our inspirations and it can even be a creative solution. Awake we dream too. Dream is between our goals and the impossible. It’s something we want to achieve, with positivity. It takes a bit more imagination and vision to make it happen, and gives meaning to what we do.</p><p>Designers sometimes work in a similar way. First to create a scenario that is almost fictional, then we research and design based on it. It lets our imaginations grow, and can inspire others to see more possibilities for our future. Projects in the exhibition might seem fictional, but most of them are already happening in our daily life. “Dream Big Think Small” encourages all of us to dream bigger and make these dreams real through design.</p><h3>大夢細想</h3><p>這兩年以來我們的生活不斷地被重塑。不知不覺間，不同層面上都正在改變。無論是個人抑或整個社會，由學習、工作到娛樂，甚至從現實世界到元宇宙，大概現在我們仍在發掘和適應中。這也同時給予了我們機會去重新去想像我們曾經熟悉的，以及未來改變的可能性。今時今日人們能在個人或社會層面上創造新身份，甚至開始生活於虛擬社群。英國設計師Thomas Thwaites 就想到不如來放個假，放下自己「人」的身份去當了幾天「羊」。這個項目就如將自己夢境世界實踐出來一樣。</p><p>夢是甚麼？有研究說，發夢就是我們腦袋處理資訊的過程。這是睡着所發的夢。我們每天有意無意接收了很多資訊，在睡眠當中會把資訊處理，這是沒有既定的次序或邏輯。當我們醒來後記得的，就是「夢」。「夢」好像沒有用途，但實際有其作用；留在腦海裏的夢境往往帶來靈感並啟發我們用創意解決問題。至於我們清醒時也會發夢是吧？ 那就是夢想。夢想像是個目標，在可能與不可能之間。請記著，這是正面的。若能加上想像和遠見，夢想就有機會實現，並為我們的生活帶來意義。</p><p>設計師的工作也是如此，你們，亦可以好好利用自己的夢。先設定一個場景，甚至是無任何限制下所虛構的想像，以此作起點再加以深化和設計。來擴闊自己的想像空間，正如今次展示的項目都是設計師們把看似天馬行空對未來的想像，將夢想化成現實。我們每一個人都有能力去發現設計的力量，只要敢於發夢，利用夢想的設計去實踐，要建構更好的未來，絕對不難。「大夢細想」，就是鼓勵你建立並實現自己的夢想，將看似不可能變成可能，繼而改進所有人的生活，這不限於設計師，是每一個人都能做到的，只要你相信。</p><p>Date &amp; Time：11.05.2022 - 17.07.2022 / 10:00am – 7:00pm</p><p>Venue：3/F, 7 Mallory Street, Wan Chai</p><p>Free of charge </p><p></p><p>日期及時間：11.05.2022 - 17.07.2022 / 10:00am – 7:00pm</p><p>地點 ：灣仔茂蘿街7號3樓</p><p>費用全免</p><p></p><h3>Remarks for Visitors</h3><ul><li>All visitors are required to take temperature check before admission.
