THIS IS MY CITY, this is my skyline!
A two-day workshop explores Macau’s urban landscape by investigating the relation between the visual quality and the mental image of the city which is held by its citizens. Using strategies of experimental and empirical field research along Macau’s rooftops and sightseeing spots, a parcour will form the set-up for an intensified collaborative design workshop. By reading Macau “from within” its territory, landmarks and new building geographies will be identified, laying focus on three components of the city’s skyline (character, structure, and meaning).

For the occasion of This is My city, 86/33 LINK is happy to join forces with Movingcities and co-organize this event together with +853 in the beautiful site of Albergue. What started as a friendly trip to Macau with Monica last january , accompanied by a lot of black coffee and portuguesh pastries evolved into a substancial project where the urban panorama workshop conceived by Moving Cities and the artists presented by 86/33 link will interact and create a lively documentation on the city /island/realm of Macau in the shape of a video piece and an Audio-visual performance where electronica producer Dead J and visual artist Chen Xiongwei will utilize moving and still fragments extracted from the urban exploration.
