Cyberport IncuTrain Centre and Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTec) will jointly provide the Hong Kong's first Creative Technologies Workshop at Cyberport during the period 8-19 August 2011 with the support from Hong Kong Design Center and Innocentre. Mr. Gareth McGhie, who was at senior position for WETA Workshop, an Oscar-winning company, and he has supervised the costume making for Peter Jackson's trilogy, Lord of the Rings, will manage and conduct the workshop at Cyberport. The Workshop aims to enable the production of a thoroughly resolved project leveraging a wide range of media skills. Also, the Workshop will enhance develop analysis and evaluation skills within contemporary visual arts creative practices and context. It will employ student's knowledge and visual media in the formulation of complex creative ideas and communication of concepts.
Mr. Teriu Lemon, Head of School for Creative Technologies says …
"as part of the programme, WelTec tutors are building a 3-metre high sculpture which will include leading edge technology such as motion sensors. This sculpture will be shipped to Hong Kong and then Cyberport students will build a replica that reflects their own culture and design, learning fabrication skills and digital technology techniques along the way. This certificate programme provides a pathway into higher level study at WelTec. We are really excited about the opportunities for staff getting involved in this venture."
