WHAT’S GOOD? CONFERENCE

HAPPENINGText: Taka Nakanishi

On the last day, with a round-table format, every speaker was on the stage. The speakers from Japan were a bit tame, while there were the other speakers like Peter Saville, who made the audiences excited with his animated replies. And there was Christopher Doyle, who appeared under the influence of liquor. Regardless of good or bad, it was apparent that the personality of each speaker came out naturally.

In the Hong kong Artcenter,the spot of the conference, special shops were open only during this event to sell the speakers’ products. A lot of people crowded there at every break, and most items sold out.

The audience was composed almost entirely of persons engaged in design and students who study design or art in Hong Kong. The audience was exalted with the opportunity to hear what all the creators had to say. It was a rare opportunity for them to hear directly from the world’s top creators. To the young people who had experienced each creator’s “What’s good?”, this event must had been the opportunity to think about their own “good” and return to their creations.
