Prints have been an essential tool for spreading knowledge and information for years and decades, it has played a significant role in structuring our society, culture, and history. Yet, with the rising of digital transformation, the evolution of spreading information as been shifting toward the virtual world in various digital platforms, allowing us to disseminate information faster and further worldwide, this has reframed our perspective on seeing today’s world and issues differently. Although digital tools are powerful and society is driving toward digitalization, it seems like physical prints and publications are still holding a substantial value in our society. The publishers are still publishing physical publications although they have online publication and people still collect books although there are digital copies. So, what makes humans bonded to prints that we cannot let go with? Is going entirely digitalize just a matter of time or there is something in prints that the virtual world cannot replace? Shift is demonstrating the contradiction of seeing things from physical prints to digital media, the shift of physical to virtual. Provoking the vision of the real and virtual world, presenting thoughts and ideas from virtual viewpoints in a physical publication that display the current world’s digital prospect but at the same time conflicting it onto prints. The virtual development has shifted and is continuously shifting our world by changing the ways we see things and dealing with problems among the involvement of the virtual world. In Shift 01, climate, work, and technology will be the focused issues viewing from the appearances of traditional digital communication tools to online publication, social media, smartphone, and to the prospection growth of the digital and reality merging.

The ambition of fulfillment By Tsz Ki Lam
" The rich man wasn't wrong, yes, you can enjoy life now but what happens when you hit a hard time? Sacrifice now and safeguard you whether its rain or shine. "
The insecurity of the uncertain future makes the ambition of fulfillment in people consistently increase, the desire of owning more continue to roll bigger and bigger to satisfy our insecurity, up to a point that we seem to have forgotten the fundamental intention for working.
We work to live, for survival and to enjoy life. Yet, the hardest part is to define how much is enough. There isn't any true boundary on what is enough, as the pursuit for each person is different and their measuring line can always be changed through time. However, there is one thing the fisherman never forgets is the essential for working, we work to enjoy life and not live for work.

The Merging Device By Tsz Ki Lam

By putting on the Hololens, we entered a different world. It brings us into an invisible flowing world that we have created, a digital space within the space of the existing world, occupying multiple spaces simultaneously, a mixed environment of the reality and the digital world.
What we can see is no longer the same. You can only experience and understand us if you can see what we are seeing, by putting the Hololens on, we are synchronized in the digital within the reality.
With the Hololens, the model can be experienced and tested in various scales and forms digitally in reality from the projection of the Hololens in few minutes. It exists before it makes, it exists in front of us before it is created.
The Nature Armature is a project to challenge the physical form and fabrication from the digital projection in the human scale. Aimed to create a strong tenable structure that could gain attraction and interact with people.

With the projection from the Hololens, we can move straight from design, into production. The models are built without any drawings and documentation. We, the human becomes the tool, the Hololens leads us in production process, indicating to us the material placement instead of us controling the technology.

Lastly, The Nature Armature was designed with natural structure form as a strategy for achievin shell as roof cover and coral as holding structure, two structures are then combined as one with using the strategy of shelter attraction, mimicking the idea of a canopy.
