Linda Lai / From thick descriptions to radical empiricism: In Defense of Manifestos (4) 聲影的純厚描述衍生革新的經驗論：繼續宣言（4）
In part 4 of Linda Lai’s Prolog reproduced for Floating Teatime, she accounted for how Manifestos 2 evolved from Manifestos 1 — a major shift from a Deleuzian contemplation of time and space to radical empiricism. 《我們的錄像書寫2》「序言」轉載的第4節：黎肖嫻指出從「宣言一」到「宣言二」的衍化和突破：跳出德勒茲式對活動影像中對時間的純厚描述而重點轉移到革新的經驗論。
Linda Lai / The Dialectics of Fluid Manifestos: In Defense of Manifestos (3) 宣言、記述的辯證關係，創造知識的能量，繼續宣言（3）
Our Manifestos II upholds videography beyond the concern of moving image aesthetics and opens up the ethics of art practices to embrace the complex, crisis-ridden contexts in which we live. In the 3rd of the 5-part series, Linda Lai maintains the necessity of manifesto-writing to be fluid, performative, dialectical practices.《我們的錄像宣言2》於「據點一杯茶」5次連載的第3篇：黎肖嫻堅持宣言寫作思維實踐上的獨立性，撇開西方現代性的歷史包袱，辯證的、演述式的、柔潤的發揮宣言的力，儘管如何短暫，有待轉化。
Linda Lai / The material form of remembering: thought paths and mute speech: In Defense of Manifestos (2) 「記好」的物質性，思路啞音微敘事：繼續宣言（2）
The “Prolog” of “Our Manifestos II” (2021.05) explicitly examines videography as a way of living, an attitude of life, and the quest for in-depth transformation in the midst of complex, crisis living. In the 2nd of the 5-part series, Linda Lai discusses videography as soundings, ways to voice out as crafted thought paths, the materiality of remembering as micro narratives.《我們的錄像宣言2》於「據點一杯茶」5次連載的第2篇：黎肖嫻開宗明義把錄像書寫看為一種創作人的活的型態和取向，以至於對深度轉化的渴求。如是，對錄像書寫的認知遠超狹義的藝術操守和理所當然的影像美學。這次，她提出了錄像書寫作為「發聲」的藝術的面向。「記住」，必須透過「思路」的展現，而這就是錄像的「微」敘事性格。
Linda Lai / Preserving the Energy of Videography: In Defense of Manifestos (1) 就為了滋養創造知識的能量，繼續宣言（1）
The “Prolog” of “Our Manifestos II: Videography, Documentary Impulses” (2021.05) explicitly examines videography as a way of living, an attitude of life, and the quest for in-depth transformation in the midst of complex, crisis living. In 5 parts, project initiator Linda Lai relates the process of the book-creation project and the different takes of the many artists involved. Part 1 describes the meandering journey. 「據點一杯茶」將以5次短篇連載《我們的錄像宣言2：記述的衝動》的序言。黎肖嫻開宗明義把錄像書寫看為一種創作人的活的型態和取向，以至於對深度轉化的渴求，以對應如何活在繁複、糾結、充滿噪音的當下。如是，錄像書寫的認知和反省遠超狹義的藝術操守和理所當然的影像美學。首篇記述召集各方創作人合力分享所穿過的崎嶇過程。
