Cherie Wong / My dream fragments 2: 2 automatic image-text shorties 我的夢碎片 (二): 兩則不假思索的圖文短話

From her 100 “fragments of fragmentary thoughts” inscribed onto painted wood pieces, Cherie Wong randomly picked two and started to open up their secrets. Cherie Wong 從她 100多塊「一個人的碎碎念」中隨機直覺的抽出兩小片來,打開它們隱藏的話匣子,聽它們娓娓道來。

FPC folks / 卡位埋邊 – 重回太平山 Ah, back to Victoria Peak, after all these years…

「卡位埋邊」為據點藝術群體成員坐埋一檯,寫寫畫畫的筆記。第一個懸念 — 重回太平山。 陸續有來。”Booth” is a series run by members of the Floating Projects Collective, a documentation of their regular conversations through writing, scribbling, serious drawing and photography. First launched is an on-the-spot portrait of being at the tip of Victoria Peak.

Cherie Wong / My dream fragments 1: Understand or communicate? Fragments of my fragmentary thoughts 我的夢碎片 (一): 想了解,卻沒有踏出溝通的一步 // 一個人的碎碎念

Cherie Wong / My dream fragments 1: Understand or communicate? Fragments of my fragmentary thoughts 我的夢碎片 (一): 想了解,卻沒有踏出溝通的一步 // 一個人的碎碎念

好奇心驅使之下,Cherie Wong 讀佛洛依德的理論,希望能從心理分析、潛意識和夢中認識自己。答案雖然並沒有像劇本般理所當然地走出來,她卻找到另一個切入點去看這個問題。To understand how her personality was formed, Cherie Wong delved into Freudian concepts. Psychoanalysis, unconsciousness and dreams interpretation do not result in a clearer picture of who she is, and yet she landed on new artistic possibilities.

Linda Lai / To Anna Chim, a late reply on videography…

Linda Lai / To Anna Chim, a late reply on videography…

An accidental death in February (?) 2018 ended young artist Anna Chim’s barely started exciting journey of creative adventures. While revisiting principles of economizing in image-making in film and art history in preparation for my teaching, I accidentally returned to this saved message Anna sent me.

Hector Rodriguez / [revised] Notes on Foucault’s Heterotopia – 3 福柯的「異托邦」(筆記三)

Heterotopia, next to its spatial otherness, constitutes an alternative temporal ordering, giving an impression of timelessness, or emphasizing the transitory and the ephemeral. Heterotopias are produced, with a transformative tendency, and cannot be reduced to readymade methods or generalization of types.「異托邦」在空間性和時間性上都擁有其另類的秩序。它不是任何別的空間正因為它有自己的時間組織。如何把「異托邦」推進為帶有「轉化」力的實踐?這比簡化「異托邦」為普遍值更為重要。

Hector Rodriguez / [revised] Notes on Foucault’s Heterotopia – 2 福柯的「異托邦」(筆記二)

Heterotopias as spatial realities confront us with the need to undo established syntax and linguistic categories as they do not exhaust all the possibilities open to visual experience. New orderings are always possible which fall outside our customary expectations. 思考異托邦的涵義有助我們打開我們的社會政治的想像,不住尋求另類的思考和行動模式。異托邦是一套語彙,要求我們在論述語言上的更新,開拓新的語彙就是開拓新的秩序。

Yuk HUI / [updated] The Wind Rises: In Memory of Bernard 風起了。懷緬斯蒂格勒。

Sadly, Bernard Stiegler left the world on 5 August 2020. In his last days, “Since 2016, Bernard talked often about dreams, and the necessity of dreaming. Industrial capitalism destroys dreams … through the manipulation of attention. The faculty of dreaming, for him, is the faculty that Kant ignored. Bernard was a dreamer who dreamed the impossible, a fighter who fought against stupidity … All technologies are primarily dreams, but dreams can also become nightmares.” Special thanks to Yuk Hui for letting his memoria for late philosophy Bernard Stiegler be re-posted here.

Andy Li / Be Right Back To Where You’ve Left (a solo show). 那天會回到你那邊 (李新傑個展)

Photography is an event that honors relationship, an event whereby techniques, concepts and sentiments come together. This exhibition exploring portraiture will mark the end of a phase of artistic pursuit, says artist Andy Li. The show does assert technology’s impact on the materiality of imaging, which will be the artist’s next phase of endeavors. 這個展覽,多層次的彰顯了攝影(藝術)是關係的實踐,「人像」是理念情感技術心思的總體行動,攝影是藝術行動,並不為漂亮影像的生產或形式而存在。這個個展也是一個階段的句號。李新傑面向未來,希望繼續他對「影像的物質性」的好奇為研究性創作的核心,影像是開放的實驗結果,未可知的成果展示,由自創造影像的機器開始。(黎肖嫻,於「據點。句點」群體8月23日交流之後)
