SOUTHERN
FLOWERS

<sub>This project presents Nanlai Zhi Hua (Flowers from the South), a data-driven visualization project that maps the spatial narratives of Hong Kong’s Southbound Literati. Combining diasporic literature, spatial theory, and affective design, the project visualizes both the authors’ lived geographies and the spatial settings found in their literary works to explore themes of displacement, memory, and identity. These narrative motifs are transformed into poetic “data flowers” using methods like temporal juxtaposition and color- time flattening. Presented as an installation, the artwork invites interpretive engagement and demonstrates how visualizing narra- tive geographies reveals emotional patterns in diasporic literary creativity.

本文介绍了“南来之花”，这是一个数据驱动的可视化项目，它描绘了香港南下文人的空间叙事。结合流散文学，空间理论和情感设计，该项目将作者的生活地理和他们文学作品中的空间设置可视化，以探索流离失所，记忆和身份的主题。这些叙事母题通过时间并置、色时间扁平化等手法转化为诗意的“数据之花”。作为一件装置作品，该作品邀请了解释性的参与，并展示了视觉化的叙事地理如何揭示流散文学创作中的情感模式。</sub>
