Foreseen Property Agency is a research exhibition led by Pat Wong (Flyingpig) and Kachi Chan. The multidisciplinary team aspires to document local traditional small businesses with advanced technology and speculative concepts, to foster a future communal practice of community conservation. The research project encompasses digital archiving, virtual 3D modelling, participatory activities, and workshops, with the goal of engaging the public through diverse means. Curated as an immersive experience as a futuristic property agency, the exhibition presents 3D scan documentation and creative interpretation of the existing traditional shops in Hong Kong, as well as their speculation on how urban heritage could be preserved and passed on to the future generations in a collective way. The team has started documentation of the local traditional small businesses through sketches and records since 2016. With the new 3D point cloud technology, the spatial intricacies of the local shops are further archived and interpreted in the exhibition narrative to explore a future communal practice of community conservation.
