deTour 2021 Curators Introduction 策展人簡介

一物謂之何用？以功利計算的話，功能就是最佳的評分準則。鋼造的螺絲能鎖住部件，造就了工業化進程的無數機器建造，是功能性的俵俵者；而荒棄在海灘上的海螺貝殼，標緻的螺旋紋理不單滿足視覺，更預言螺絲設計的出現，這是個美麗的巧合，還是在小小海螺中早已藴藏著「無形」之用呢？可見功能以外，更多看似「冇用」之處，其實亦藴藏著巨大的無形價值，有如外觀的美學、文化的底藴、以至個人體驗等等的無形功能。在「有用」與「冇用」之間，擴闊思考，將會是一片更寬廣的設計想像與創造空間。 著實許多在人們生活裡出現的設計是人類共同演進協作的成果，當我們去觀看一件設計，其實不過是在面向演變版圖中的一點，它蘊藏著歷史、美學、文化、科技、習慣等元素，當時間變動它亦會持續轉化。 本屆deTour，以「有（冇）用」出發，打造一個展現設計過程、探討實驗的場所。 一同反思設計如何「有用」地回應具體需要；探討設計「冇用」無形功能的價值。 What makes a thing useful? From a strictly utilitarian standpoint, the existence of a function should be the predominant criterion. A steel screw, for example—which holds objects sturdily together and played an important role in industrial development—is the epitome of functionality. In contrast, a sea snail shell lying idly on the beach seems to lack any discernible function at all. Yet, its natural spirals look stunningly similar to the threads of a screw. Beautiful coincidence? Or has the “functionless” sea snail been onto something all along? It’s not difficult to see that many seemingly useless things in fact possess a huge amount of invisible value, be it aesthetic, cultural, intellectual or emotional. Between “useful” and “useless” lies a vast playground where we can unleash our imagination and creativity, and expand our understanding of design. Many designs we are all too used to today are the result of human evolution and collaboration. When we look at a design, we’re only catching it at a particular point in time. However, its current shape and function is often the culmination of decades, centuries or even millenniums of development and adaptation, informed by history, aesthetics, culture, technology and customs. And as time goes on, it will keep morphing and evolving. With “Use(fu)less” as its starting point, deTour 2021 sets out to create a space for discussion, experimentation and exhibition. Together, let’s reflect how “useful” designs respond to specific needs, and explore how “useless” designs can serve hidden—yet equally valuable—functions. deTour 2021 有（冇）用 Use(fu)less 日期 Date｜2021.11.26 - 12.12 時間 Time | 11:00 - 20:00 地點 Venue｜PMQ 元創方 香港中環鴨巴甸街35號 35 Aberdeen Street, Central 虛擬設計節 Virtual Festival | deTour.hk/2021
