Christine Lieu
With a love for the whimsical, Christine Lieu believes that the field of design presents ideal opportunities for exploring new possibilities.
As an OCAD graduate, who loves to surround herself with crafts and experimenting with a variety of materials; her ability to absorb and analyze her surroundings have led to research skills that enable her to synthesize information into outcomes that have a voice and presence of their own. She hopes that her own curiosity and sense of discovery will guide her towards solutions that foster valuable experiences and fresh perspectives.
Ultimately, she envisions design as an invaluable factor integral to the future of all humanity, in which a tiny designer like her can create one small footprint that can one day evolve into a stampede of prints.
Phoebe Lo
Phoebe Lo is a fourth year Visual Arts major at York University, focusing her studies in the areas of sculpture and photography. Currently, she is investigating environmental and social phenomena that evolve when man-made materials are positioned or discarded into nature, as well as the effects of relocating natural entities into man-made spaces or contexts.
Her work encompasses object-based sculpture, site-specific installation and photography to explore the themes of elevation, displacement and the sublime. Involved as a research assistant at York University’s Digital Sculpture Lab under the guidance of sculptor and professor, Brandon Vickerd, she also examines the use of non-traditional mediums. Her research involves the current use of digital sculpture to identify the possibilities that could be achieved by the medium through such technologies, as well as to investigate the implications that are associated with regards to the definition and function of art.

How exciting and novel!! Looks like a really fun project. I’ll come with my pockets full of ephemora, to create memorabilia.
This project sounds exciting . It will offer a interesting and challenging new way of viewing current and past ideas of our social, cultural and physical environment. It also offers an entertaining and interactive way of presenting information.
