CDR在创意中国周五之夜
创意中国展是今年春夏季度伦敦V&A博物馆(维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆) 的主打展览，全面介绍近20年来的中国当代设计，涉及领域跨越建筑，平面，服装，摄影，动画等。展览期间，博物馆举行了一系列与中国设计有关的附属活动，包括专业讲座，服装走秀，学生交流和周五之夜。“Friday Late Night”周五之夜是V&A博物馆每月一度的公众互动活动。授V&A博物馆的委托，CDR –刻录盘(见注释)策划了两项公众互动节目在6月27日的“创意中国周五之夜“: 包括“Cutting Edge – 创意剪纸“与“Sound Message Board – 声音留言板“。
Cutting Edge的策划人建筑师陈海亮召集了十几位居住在伦敦的中国设计师参与剪纸设计。设计师都来自不同背景，有平面设计师，建筑师，插画师，动画师，服装设计师等。Cutting Edge要求设计师每人设计一套主题剪纸样板，形成‘剪纸长龙’与博物馆地面现有的西式马赛克纹样相映成趣；主题有“孙悟空游伦敦“，“中国的小桥池塘“，“兵马俑“，“十二生肖“，“红灯笼“等。周五之夜，V&A博物馆印度展厅前面的走廊两边铺上两行几米长的红色黄色纸卷，英国公众由设计师引导共同参与设计塑造纸面上的中国城市与中国印象。
剪纸活动比预期的还要受欢迎，英国人的耐心和投入精神让中国设计师们也感叹不已。走廊上几十个参与者拿着剪刀，刻刀裁减着各种各样的造型，参观者不计其数，非常热闹。很多剪纸都是可以立起来的三维效果，活动到了尾声，走廊上已经可以看到林立的剪纸模型，而且充满了中国特有的喜庆气氛。
CDR的会员-声音设计师朱甜甜与平面设计师史源共同制作了“声音留言板“的装置。两个半透明的板子与麦克和电脑连接，在板子上面敲击写字的声音会被放大并产生奇特的声效。板子上投影的七巧板动画更加与声音有互动效果，任何敲击的声音都可以激发七巧板随机排列。这个有趣的实验装置吸引了很多人来观看和留言。
注:
