Overview
Losing anchor in this world of madness
Taking each step cautiously and still feeling lost
Aren’t you fed up with common sense being denied?
Surfeited with spoon-fed absurdity, isn’t it tiring?
It’s time to take a break and leave your “everything is normal” mask with us.
Join us at a staycation for the mind in this unsettling time and changing present!
Dive in, rocket to the space, travel through time.
Explore alternate universes of yourself and find strength to carry on your journey.
Day-Daycare Night-Nightcare is the mental care centre specially for adults. In the Care Centre, you can escape from the daily stress, take good care of your inner child, and play like a young kid again. The cross-generation cast members will take you on the journey back to the past, forward to the future and into yourselves to provide series of spirit-inspiring experience. Let’s work out and open up the minds , challenge common sense and explore the infinite possibilities!

RAY LC creates exhibitions and interventions using environmental storytelling and human-machine interactions. He takes inspiration from his own research in human-computer interaction and neuroscience in works that probe human community’s evolving relationship with technology. Recent works include Imitations of Immortality, a set of poems written by human and machine that attempt to mimic the essence of classic poets; Chikyuchi, a tamagotchi game that allows players to identify with protecting the Amazon rainforest; I Was of Three Minds, a machine-learning inspired exhibit featuring machine-augmented human perception in media like VR and video; Presentation of Self in Machine Life, a distanced co-performance of a human dancer and a robot across a 12-hour divide; and Make4Green, a speculative fiction participatory art exhibit that uses designing for future scenarios to invigorate climate action. These works have been shown at BankArt, New York Hall of Science, Ars Electronica, New Museum, Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, Osage Gallery. They have been funded by National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Adobe Design Award, Microsoft Imagine Cup, New York Foundation for the Arts, Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
