Local artists responded to the observations about Central with site-specific installations. Multidisciplinary artist Nerve's contribution, called Rhythms and placed near the exhibition entrance, is a barrage of Central's sights and sounds captured in an 18-minute looping video beamed on three channels. Ocean Leung's Punch Hard Forever is a mash-up of an Everlast punching bag and images of promotional campaigns, thus elevating the concept of exercise to a sculptural level.

Findings of Kwok's studies are displayed on the mezzanine floor, which also has activity areas where visitors can flip through sketch pads or watch videos. The main exhibition hall explains Modernologio and presents neighborhood stories along with the artists' responses.

Outdoor installations in Tai Kwun's Prison Yard and Lower E Hall allow people to interact with street furniture in fun ways, as the components can be picked up and moved around.
"It is intended to be a very interactive show," said Sarah Mui, the exhibition's design partner and One Bite Design's co-founder and design director.
