Tuen Mun River has flowed through history for centuries, inspiring ancient poets from the Tang Dynasty to write poems such as "Songs of Floating Waves" and "Poem on Farewell".

The artwork "Floating Waves" brings together the physical and virtual worlds, bridging the past and present through a combination of kinetic glass sculpture and augmented reality that replicates the dynamic rolling waves and ambient sounds described in those ancient poems.

Using the augmented reality web app, visitors can create an immersive experience by generating and overlaying visual ripples onto the riverscape through a virtual Monome. They can use preset sounds to create their own music and visuals, and the results work in harmony to transform the river into an artistic medium, if only for a moment.

This collaboration between visitors and the virtual Monome recalls the creativity that has flowed through this place across time, creating a meaningful connection between past and present.
