LAI Wai-leung / 方興未艾的戰爭：創意／文化成產業 Creativity/culture turned industry, a brewing battle
[source of banner image: http://www.artsportagecounty.org/our-initiatives/creative-economy-inventory-project/] 『創意產業』，一個看似原創的名詞，初聽到時，口中唸著唸著，總有種怪怪的欠缺自然的感覺，感覺何來?我嘗試用普通常識、常人角度對這複合名詞說出常人一般的聯想。 創意：純大腦運作。建基於固有知識，源於生活並帶有改善生活的功能；亦可天馬行空，作前人之未作，純粹為解放固有觀念或思想。兩者皆以 social innovation為目的。 產業：牽涉土地運用、人力資源、融資、成本控制，旨在以最低成本謀取最高回報並尋求不斷的利潤增長。 啊…….. 彷然大悟! 這兩種東西之間原來存在著根本上的矛盾，硬把它們拉一起，甚至產生邏輯上的謬誤。 規劃化後的『創意產業』論述可又另一回事。

Winnie Yan / 那管只淨下我一人站在白牆前拿著紙筆咬手指 – 記於藝評與創作中的浮遊
廢紙箱又被堆滿了。「我寫不到。」反反覆覆地翻閱自己看Birdman後寫下的筆記，總覺得無論怎麼寫也是徒勞無功，寫出一段又一段自相矛盾的段落。儘管讀過Raymond Carver的書，察覺到當中那如從未停止拍攝的鏡頭，鼓聲、空間處理等諸如此類的技術細節，但即使我把這些元素都歸納總結好，so what? 那就可以令人感受到我在觀賞時得到的那種莫名奇妙的感覺嗎？我覺得那部電戲需要去看，去自我感受，既然我寫不出那種令人閱後有立即要去一看究竟的衝動，自己的討論又可能只停留在技巧的層面周旋的話，這就像自打嘴巴，告訴人家自己沒認真地去思考一些電影想引申的其他訊息。
