Über Happy Birthday Likeboxes Kunstinstallation

Happy Birthday Likeboxes ist eine Kunstinstallation aus 366 beleuchteten Briefkästen – einer für jeden Tag des Jahres. Jede Briefkastentür trägt ein Muster, in dem sich ein chinesisches Schriftzeichen verbirgt; die Besucher entschlüsseln das Muster, um den zugehörigen Kasten zu öffnen. Darin findet sich eine handgezeichnete Geburtstagskarte, die ein früherer Besucher hinterlassen hat. Jeder Besucher zeichnet anschließend eine neue Karte für einen künftigen Besucher und wirft sie in einen Postkasten ein. Die Briefkästen bestehen aus Kunststoff, Acrylplatten und LED-Leuchten. Die Installation ermutigt zu persönlichem Ausdruck und Freundlichkeit.

Designherausforderung: There was skepticism regarding whether visitors would invest time in creating birthday cards for a stranger and if the quality of the contributions would be satisfactory. Serving dually as a social experiment, the installation's launch tested the altruism and community spirit of Hong Kong's residents. The resounding success and the positive reception of the installation and its subsequent variations in various Chinese cities and Paris have since affirmed the project's appeal across diverse age groups and cultures.
Forschung: Rooted in my humble family tradition of drawing birthday cards for my parents, Happy Birthday Likeboxes is a journey through joy and human connection. The adventure begins with the quest for one's unique Birthday Mailbox. This search and the exchange of hand drawn birthday cards transform every visit into an exploration and moments of special connection. Many visitors claimed to have been motivated to start creating birthday cards for their loved ones, extending the warmth & kindness experienced from the installation to their own family circles. By celebrating a universally shared and valued occasion - our birthday - the installation also brings people from various backgrounds, while promoting kindness and a Pay-it-forward mindset within the community.
Inspiration: Inspired by my family tradition of exchanging hand-drawn birthday cards, my art installation aims to recreate that joy for visitors, at the same time fostering a pay it forward spirit in the community. The Likeboxes resembling social media posts, encourage visitors to reflect on the often-impersonal nature of digital interactions and to instead create and share a hand-drawn birthday card infused with sincere, heartfelt wishes.
Projektdauer: The project commenced in April 2023 and the inaugural exhibition of the art installation Happy Birthday Likeboxes debuted in July 2023 at the Chih Lo Lou Gallery on the 4th floor of the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Originally scheduled to end in October 2023, the exhibition's popularity warranted an extension through January 2024. Capitalizing on this success, the museum inaugurated a second exhibition titled Happy Birthday Likeboxes in Sunlight on the 5th floor, commencing January 18th, 2024, which is anticipated to conclude on June 26th, 2024.
