Experiential Installation

“The Emerald City” is an experiential installation created as part of the Hong Kong Ballet’s art-tech initiative for their 2024 production of The Wizard of Oz.

The installation offers visitors an enchanting journey, featuring innovative experiences such as AI-powered video portraits that reimagine guests as characters from the beloved story. Interactive video booths allow participants to step onto the stage alongside Hong Kong Ballet dancers, and of course, the iconic Yellow Brick Road makes an appearance. Visitors can download and share these magical moments with friends.

Another highlight of the installation is “Discover the Magic,” where visitors use a special filter to uncover hidden wonders, adding an element of surprise and delight to their experience.

The contemporary Emerald City structure, brought to life by FAB LAB, beautifully combines artistry and sustainability. Crafted from recycled plastic materials that can be recycled again, it showcases a stunning design while reducing environmental impact—demonstrating how art and innovation can work together to protect our planet.
