The Memory of Tomorrow – Returned
R4MBLER由四位香港漫畫家組成，成員包括：葉偉青Felix Ip、謝森龍異Sam Tse、姜智傑Keung Chi Kit及蘇頌文Pen So。R4MBLER可解讀為漫遊者，意思是我們四人在不同領域、時空及角度遊走，並把所見所聞用畫筆紀錄下來。
在2019年, R4MBLER舉辦了「The Memory of Tomorrow 」首次畫展，展覽再次於山頂廣場展出，並與GoArty合作，延續這段時空旅程。展覽主題由生活和環境出發，創造出獨立但相互緊扣的科幻世界，並讓觀眾穿梭時空，遊走四個不同的未來世界、「香港重機 空想未來 」、「 機械身體 」、「 頭盔 Helmet 」及「移動城寨 逃離城市 」，並從畫作中探討漫畫家們對未來科技的展望和想像。然而展覽中亦想表達在未來科幻世界發展下，仍會保留一些香港舊式景物和特色，這些物件及形象看似落後，理應被淘汰，卻仍然有其欣賞價值，提醒觀眾切勿忘本。
為延續
四人希望舉辦以「 Cyber Meets Nature」為題的第二次展覽。
The four of us, like ramblers venture into different territories exceeding space, time and dimension. Reminiscing our explorations, these illustrations are the visualized creative reflections of our journey. R4MBLER includes four Hong Kong comics artists, Felix Ip, Sam Tse, Keung Chi Kit and Pen So.
In 2019, R4MBLER organized their first exhibition “The Memory of Tomorrow”. The exhibition has been returned and will extend the time-travel journey. R4MBLER collaborates with GoArty and showcasing the artworks at Peak Galleria. The exhibition shows four different world views nspired by daily life and environment. Through the artworks, audiences can travel four future worlds, “Hong Kong Machines - Envisioning the Futures”, “Cybernetic Body”, “Helmet” and “Mobile Fortress – city Escape” exploring the prospects and imaginations of future technology by the artists. Under the future development, some old Hong Kong sceneries and features seem to be backward but still being retained. Since these elements are still worth to be appreciated, it is hope that the exhibition could remind the audience about their roots.

「頭盔」
Helmet
未來，虛擬現實成為世界主流，人人頭戴VR「頭盔」，進入另一個國度。
在這裡，任何創意都能發揮，任何慾望也能滿足，在社交網絡、電子娛樂、虛擬環境等新科技文化中自由馳騁，穿越時空，回憶過去的美好，預視未來的可能性，鏡內世界完美無瑕，就像一個終極的理想國。
「頭盔」的創作意念是用外型巨大、華麗而古怪的VR「頭盔」，帶出未來（其實也是現在）人類過份沉溺於社交網絡、虛擬世界、電子娛樂等新科技文化中，雙眼被蒙蔽在華麗的眼罩內，頭部看似被頭盔保護著，但其實是寧願選擇留在電子科技操控的天堂，也不願回到殘酷的現實世界。
In the future, the world belongs to virtual reality. Our VR helmets immerse us in virtual reality, teleporting us to a new dimension where nothing is impossible.
Here, dreams are fultfilled, desires satisfied and creations realized. Savouring the past, we envision the possibilities of the future, totally indulged in the pleasure of this ultimate perfect world.
The concept of “Helmet” was come from the huge and glamorous VR helmets. In the future (actually the present as well), human beings are indulged in social network, virtual world and electronic entertainment etc. and all the new technology. It seems like the head is being protected by covering their eyes with the helmets, but in fact, people would rather stay in the electronic world than the reality.

「移動城寨—逃離城市」
Mobile Fortress – City Escape
在我遊歷的香港，人…很喜歡追求新科技、流行文化。在未來，香港奮力發展尖端科技項目。氛圍所及，意識中無止境的追求令大部分市民逐漸迷失，甘於享受科技帶來的一切好處及習性，放棄，甚至討厭所有往昔歷史文化。
位於香港中心一組巨型舊式唐樓群，市民稱它為「城寨」，是現存唯一超過百年歷史的龐大建築。因為地契問題及各種原因仍未解決，城寨有幸存活至今。但大部分香港已經覺得「它」很影響香港形象，以建築物有倒塌危機為由，強烈要求政府清拆重建。城寨是老香港建築歷史的最後見證，是逝去美好年代的最後印記。
城寨居民不甘心坐以待斃，憤而集結，極力悍衛，並以令人難以置信的獨特科技把城寨改裝成移動城。被賜予生命的「衪」，極力逃避政府的追捕，逃離這個我所熟悉的城市。
In our perpetual quest for better living, people embrace technological advancements, which radically change our lives, making it so much more comfortable and convenient. The Hong Kong I venture in is a city where people indulge in new technology and pop culture. Yet, little did they realize how these changes have posed far-reaching impacts on our tradition, heritage and historical culture.
In the heart of Hong Kong stands a cluster of century-old tong lau (tenement buildings), which people call “Walled City”. Having a unique nature and complex background it survived demolition but most people consider it a disgrace to the image of modern Hong Kong.
A testimony to Hong Kong’s architectural heritage and its bygone era, the residents of the Walled City refuse the fate of its demolition, so standing firm and united, they fight against all odds to preserve it. Thanks to exclusive technology, which has transformed the Walled city into a mobile compound moving far away from the dangers of the place I have known so well, “His” legacy prevails.

「機械身體」
Cybernetic Body
《機械身體》生老病死，乃佛家所言中人生必經的歴程，視作「四苦」，亦是萬物不可逾越的界限。科技的出現及發展，根源源自人類對改善生活、改變生命的無窮極至慾望。科技越益強大，越自覺擁有如神一樣的力量。我遊歴於未來虛空之中，看見我們開始不斷以機械身體科技，挑戰生老病死的法則⋯⋯
是對？是錯？是幻想？是奢想？是狂想？是夢想？我看見了，是真還是假？不知道！但可以肯定，沒人能夠阻擋時代前進的想像。一切，有想像，自然有可能。
Despite the phenomenal development of advanced technology in this cyber age, the humble fate of Humankind to go through the “Four Sufferings” – birth, age, sick and death is inevitable. Yet, in my journey into future, our relentless efforts to improve our lives shed new light on this unattainable wish. Supported by innovative technology, we are implanted with cybernetic body parts to challenge the basic law of life. Cyborgs are no longer science-fiction.
There seems to be no right or wrong on these fantasies and who knows? In my journey, the only certain thing is, there will always be a vision, and where there is imagination there is boundless possibilities.

「香港重機—空想未來」
“Hong Kong Machines - Envisioning the Future”
回憶中最燦爛的香港在70-80年代，身邊美好事物正在消失中……懷緬之餘，漫遊童年時空，把那些年香港美好的事物，化成設計元素，建構一個空想未來的香港。
運用異想天開的想像力和獨特筆觸；以香港為元素為主題；創建了一系列具有獨特“香港”特徵的天馬行空畫作。
I savour Hong Kong in its heyday back in the 70s and 80s. I miss its glamour and reminisce its charm. Travelling beyond boundaries, I ramble back to my childhood days, recollecting the beautiful pieces as I attempt to reconstruct them into the future Hong Kong I envisage.
Through the imagination and brushstrokes; Using Hong Kong elements as the main theme; A style of an unique “Hong Kong” characteristics was created in this artwork series.
