deTour連結創意 @ 東方日報

一向致力連結各地創意力量的年度藝術盛事「deTour」，今年開宗明義以「連結」（Connection）為主題，帶來多項互動體驗活動，並首次跟本地「樂高」（Lego）達人洪子健（Andy Hung）「連結」起來，以展覽加對話，跟大家分享創意是何等好玩及如何煉成。 樂高達人的玩味世界 「deTour」向來臥虎藏龍，首次以本地樂高藝術家身份參展的Andy Hung，堪稱焦點人物之一，年初獲委任為全球第13位「樂高專業認證大師」，足證其專業性，代表作包括《丹麥尼哈芬水道》和《龍貓》。是次參展，Andy帶來多件自己喜歡的作品，包括一系列首次曝光的馬賽克畫作，其影像處理手法呈現出強烈的對比效果，也凸顯了樂高的無窮變化。「不少家長視樂高為益智玩具，而我第一份樂高玩具是媽媽送的機場套裝。除了參考說明書，我還會把配件自行組裝成不同造型，甚至發掘一些另類砌法，例如要砌一件球狀模型，可由球體中央砌起，再思考如何向四方八面延展，這樣對激發創意很有幫助呢！」

【港情講趣】做LEGO大師 難過考博士 @ 蘋果日報

現年35歲的洪子健（Andy），今年7月獲得官方頒發樂高專業認證大師資格（LEGO Certified Professionals，LCP），環顧全球只得13人，更是大中華區首人。有丹麥總公司及廠方支持，除了可以近乎廠價訂購零件，「可以名正言順開官方展覽。」獲取這一資格原來非常麻煩，不但需要力爭表現多年，兩年前得到LEGO官方推薦後，還得把過去的LEGO展覽和比賽作品選輯，上交到丹麥總部作評核，去年才獲批──一年試用期，今年始正式擔正成為大師，比報讀某些大學「考博士」困難百倍。 兩年前，Andy在荔枝角租用工廈單位，開設面積達5,000呎的秘密基地作LEGO倉庫，內裏堆滿大小紙箱，齊款齊色的LEGO零件逾百萬件。去年他更籌組隊伍，把倉庫化作工作室，每日齊齊埋首砌LEGO。團隊現有四、五人，包括王鴻禧（William）及許肇智（Alex），是Andy認識多年的戰友。當中，William毅然辭去數據分析師一職，全情投入砌LEGO，「冇人知道會發展成咁，細個嗰陣，你有冇夢想成為LEGO設計師？將興趣變做職業，講就容易，既然難得有一次機會，不妨一試。」從事資訊科技的Alex，離職後一星期有四、五日來這個基地砌LEGO，他笑說是新興行業。至於Andy，5歲開始砌LEGO，自稱個性鍾意「搏」，18歲跑去當股票經紀，惟好景不常，經歷高低起伏，4年前黯然退場。幸而柳暗花明又一村，當日只為打發時間的LEGO，最終成為一份職業。 現時全職砌LEGO的Andy，平日會外出見客、開會，其餘時間就是回基地，寓工作於興趣，日日「積積復積積」。取得LCP後、開始全職砌LEGO的首半年，Andy承認幾乎「食穀種」，只接到小型展覽工作，靠積蓄維持生計。但他深信機會總是留給有準備的人，沒有工作也不打緊，利用這段空白期砌作品，將來定會派上用場。他有一個心願，就是希望把香港人的LEGO創作，帶到其他地方巡迴展出。半年後，工作終於接踵而來，客戶除了本地商場，更衝出香港，逐步實現心願。早前他們便與澳門旅遊局合作，用30萬塊LEGO砌出議事亭前地及大三巴等名勝，又用100萬塊LEGO砌出澳門新濠影滙。今年香港動漫電玩節又砌出一系列中國建築物，該作品亦於年底送到重慶大都會東方廣場展出一年。 http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/realtime/supplement/20151118/54436090
