放映節目（約60分鐘，數位放映）
水銀物質 Mercurial Matter
2014-2017, 6 min. 16mm
《水銀物質》是關於形而上學與自然力量的泛靈論冥想，本片使用活動遮罩與光學印片技術，製作快速流動的單格印片作品，並動態拼貼多種尺寸，移軸與旋轉的變化技術操作。
不可抗力Force Majeure
2015-2017, 5 min. 16mm
《不可抗力》是由一串光學印片的失敗所製成。動態遮罩的使用本應透明，但在這個意圖失敗後，這些原本要被捨棄的素材，最後以則重曝與翻拍等各種機械手法的混搭，製成波動閃爍的圖像律動。
变 Change
2016-2017, 6 min. double 16mm
關於中文字體的轉世化身。始於變字本身，以造字方法區分文字，顏色，影像與聲音，譜成高密度與多層次的質地。本片激烈地展現篆體，繁體與簡體中文字形。
五種流行之氣 Five Movements
2017-2018, 35 min. 4K video
五種流行之氣 是關於五行，一種中國能量系統，的日常詮釋。五種不同的氣在不同的時候呈現。兩個無可指認的角色在鬼魅似的空間中摸索，啟動各種物件，儀式與空間。鬆散的故事以視覺強調色彩，構圖，特效與光，並在情境中展現五行元素，一場蜿蜒。
You Spin Me Right Sound
2018, 8 min. HD video
本片是一部論文電影動畫，使用圖庫照片，聲音效果，廣告，GIF與icon等素材。旁白諷刺遞敘述關於麥卡托投影法，世界地圖的扭曲，和無所不在的殖民史。本作品最近亦在 Precog MAG 雜誌的第四期：Empire Vampire中以圖文的方式呈現。
*特別感謝TCAC台北當代藝術中心，提供場地支持本活動之舉辦。

Program
Mercurial Matter
2014-2017, 6 min. 16mm
‘Mercurial Matter‘ is an animistic meditation on metaphysics and forces of nature. The film uses traveling mattes and optical printing in a rapid, wandering, single-frame perspective. Moving collages are created with scaling, scrolling, and rotating layered images.
Force Majeure
2015-2017, 5 min. 16mm
‘Force Majeure’ is a series of optical printing mistakes. Traveling mattes ought to be like camouflage; this very first attempt failed to achieve this and initially went in the garbage. They were fished out later, superimposed, and rephotographed, with tons of mechanical jamming. The result is these pulsing, stroboscopic, and graphic shapes.
Change
2016-2017, 6 min. double 16mm
‘Change‘ is an incantation of Chinese characters. It begins and ends on the word itself, ‘biàn’, and each recitation marks a related group of words. There are separate algorithms for text, color, images, voice, and music, adding several layers of lush and dense textures. It is an intense presentation of time and linguistics using Seal Script, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
Five Movements
2017-2018, 35 min. 4K video
‘Five Movements‘ is a diaristic interpretation of Wu Xing, a Chinese system of energies, roughly meaning, ‘five kinds of qi prevailing at different times’. Two nameless, unidentified characters explore phantasmagoric interiors and exteriors, activating objects, rituals, and spaces. A loose story that visually emphasizes color, composition, effects, lighting, and mood to unfold the Elements in a meandering, lucid exploration.
You Spin Me Right Sound
2018, 8 min. HD video
‘You Spin Me Right Sound‘ is an animated video essay that repurposes stock photography, sound effects, and advertisements. GIFs, graphics, and icons are accompanied with sardonic narration about the Mercator projection, world map distortion, and the pervasive presence of colonialism. It was recently released as a text-and-image article in Precog Magazine Issue #4: Empire Vampire.
* Special thanks to TCAC Taipei Contemporary Art Center for providing venue and support for this event.
** The after screening talk will conduct in English/ Mandarin.
