“I think there is beauty in doing things together as a community, in finding support in one’s community. I was not formally trained in design, so in the beginning didn’t feel the most confident.
But by meeting people in the community you also see that there are so many people who are also going through the same doubts and feeling the same things - that most of us are really just doing it out of interest and passion.”
Designer and community organiser Alisya Fairuz (@a.l.i.s.y.aa ) on the importance of community in any creative scene, and how design is fundamentally a response to the needs and dynamics of the people it serves.

“My first foray into music actually started with my band. I got into the music scene through my screamo band, which I started while I was in university. We were quite active during that time, playing at punk venues like Rumah Api.
It was a really fun time, and I really enjoyed that phase because it opened up the whole music experience for me. I met a lot of people, worked with different communities, and got involved in different scenes. Over time, I kind of transitioned into electronic music and got really interested in the visual side of things.”
Visual artist Zulamran Hilmi traces his beginnings in the local music scene in Kuala Lumpur. These influences later surfaced through VJ-ing, before evolving into his current visual art practice.

“One of the things I realized after I moved here was that my thoughts can reach a conclusion. And if you let an idea simmer, it naturally resolves itself and the outcome from that resolution is often very satisfying and not so labour intensive.
It’s funny because the ideas takes more time, but you spend less time executing it because you’re much more sure of what you want to do.
It goes back to the whole idea of it being a very organic process, right? Before you know it, it becomes a fully formed idea.”
Artist Sharon Chin on allowing herself to take the time to think and allow herself to be idle as ideas come to play.

“With the state of the world right now, where so many things are being mass-produced, we really want to keep sustainability in mind with what we do. That’s the beauty of 3D printing, because every item is done on a made-to-order basis and can be done at a very small scale.
When we come up with a new design, we normally produce a few samples in different colours and put them up on Instagram. From there, when people see them and want to order them, they can DM us.”
Through small-scale, made-to-order 3D printing, SAD Studio (@sadstudio.my ) co-founder, tattoo artist and illustrator Sugee Wee (@sugeeewee ) shares how the company embraces a slower, more sustainable approach to design.

In our Features section of Process Magazine Volume Three, we speak to Leon Foo, founder of coffee hardware company Morning (@drinkmorning ).
After a stint in corporate finance, followed by a decade of experience in running coffee businesses, Leon put all that knowledge into Morning. He tells us more on the ethos behind the product:
“Our guiding principle with our product was to appeal to all five senses. You can see this at every juncture - from the sounds the machine plays to the mechanical interactions when inserting a capsule and closing the lever, or spinning the dial to cycle through saved recipes.
Of course, taste and smell are critical components of the coffee-making process, but we also paid attention to what you see. For instance, we designed the machine to light up when turned on, and the pulsating graphics during brewing work in tandem with the coffee output.
Ultimately, our goal was to ensure that you feel good about the coffee you make and enjoy the process.”

Part II: In our last post we spoke about Penang based artist Hoo Fan Chon (@eyeballmassage ) and his work, one of them being the photo series “Everyday No Parking Sculptures”.
Fan Chon has been collecting images of these “everyday no parking sculptures” around George Town since 2012. This series was first featured in the Biro Kaji Visual George Town solo exhibition in 2019 and later on at Palai Penang group exhibition in 2024.
In the artists words: “Parking space is limited and sometimes contentious in George Town. Both the tourists and locals are constantly testing the colonial entrepôt’s limit in accommodating the fluxes of vehicular traffic.
Many of the shop owners in George Town respond to this problem by creating makeshift parking sculptures of varying complexity, using throwaway or economical materials such as buckets, broken stools, wooden planks, tyres, brick, pinwheels, etc.
Many of these sculptures look spontaneous and perfunctory; others are more considered and designed. These erected composite scrap materials serve as visual cues to deter other drivers from taking up the parking space, yet collectively, they carry a sculptural presence that adds visual excitement to the George Town streetscape, like those carefully bonsai’ed pot plants.”
In the full series of 84 photos selected for our special issue “Objects As Archive”, Fan Chon has documented the practical, creative and sometimes experimental everyday no parking sculptures that the people of George Town have created.

“There is a sentence that I’ve been thinking a lot about, which helps to put the ideology into my practice: “mengataskan yang kampung, mengampungkan yang atas”. This is one of the things that I always want to go back to. Because in some way, why do we put museums and galleries on such high pedestals, but not communal spaces like temples? There are so many temples, there’s so much art in these temples, and they are there for everybody.
It is very different to the work that I create in my studio, where the work is mostly placed in galleries for people who are maybe a bit more informed about art. They need to use special, very specific terms to talk about something artistic. In some way, we can say that sometimes galleries are not the friendliest place to be. It can be intimidating to some. People can feel like, “Oh, this is not for me. I don’t have a say in this.”
But the funny thing is, when it comes to food, everyone feels like they have a say. Oh this place is better, that place is better. Why can we do that with food but not art?”
Artist Hoo Fan Chon (@eyeballmassage ) talking about creating work that resonates beyond the gallery - and potentially on the dining table 🐟 🍱
