That is funny, I found a foreigner taking video at the night street. Neon Signs are famous symbol in Hong Kong, but keep decreasing by government environment safety laws.

Excited to announce that an exhibition I've been working on is finally here in collaboration with Johan F. Hoorn (an interfaculty full professor of computing and design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, specialising in social robotics) and David Hanson (creator of the first AI humanoid robot in the world and founder of AI and robotics company Hanson Robotics).

Exhibition Period: 8th July - 15th August 2021
Opening Hours: 12:30pm - 18:30pm Wednesday to Sunday (Closed on Mondays & Tuesdays)
Venue: The Catalyst, G/F, no. 2 Po Yan Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong (上環普仁街2號地下)
🤖 World-famous Sophia robot creates paintings
🤖 World-famous Alice R50 creates poetic chants
🤖 LED and NEON installations, poetry, and calligraphy
All are welcome to come to the opening and explore the magic of Art-ificial Creativity: Robots Making Art, Art for Robots, Art about Robots.
This exhibition of creative robots, poetry from the command prompt, urban signs, and innovative calligraphy emerged from the idea that art ‘does not live’ but does carry the sparkle, is capable of touching people. ‘Artifices’ such as robots and computer systems are not alive but do create art or can come up with intelligent solutions. Which tells us that physical nature is inherently creative, a secret but exciting message from artificial life!
“… and the world wonders.” (Quote from Alice R50)
Special Appearance by Sophia of Hanson Robotics on 13th, 14th, 15th August, 2021!

We leave the States for Hong Kong, the home of Kwan, who works in different artistic mediums — from painting to new media art and large installations — and designs quite stunning neon pieces friendly for the home as well. "Neon signs have long been an iconic part of Hong Kong's visual landscape holding cultural significance," says the artist. "Growing up in the city, I have always been captured and inspired by its unique aura and feel deeply connected to it."
The multi-award-winning artist, whose work has been exhibited in many countries, first started using neon elements in her paintings, before adding "different types of neon light to create artworks from smaller pieces to large public installations."
"I work with neon instead of other types of media when I feel it would bring out and complete the piece with its own distinctive quality," says Kwan. "With a strong presence that captures attention and bathes its surroundings in a soft glow, it allows the artwork to become fully alive and express itself." >>

The visual symbolism of neon has long been a significant part of Hong Kong's culture. By transforming everyday objects from the streets into a neon aesthetic, the work highlights the casual and overlooked side of the vibrant lifestyle within the district of Soho where it is full of energy and comes to life at night. The neon glow gives off a unique iconic ambiance to its surroundings which enhances its chic, urban, and stylish attraction. Scaled to life size, they also have their own presence and element of interaction. Like traditional neon signs, the 'Artlane' sign serves to name the place where it will become the heart of the area and an artistic Soho of its own...

Seeing the vintage neon signs of Hong Kong is on every traveler's bucket list. Here we show you a basic edit on Adobe Lightroom with an emphasis on how to utilize gradient/radial filters and also split toning to balance your photo.
