It was a militant gesture, an act of bravery, and a declaration of love for youth culture. "Cinema can help us see the appearance of forms", said Godard of his attempt to capture both the grandiose and the ridiculous in the relationships between youthful hopes, art, mass culture, and the repertoire of images it ferments. In La Chinoise, Godard showed how politics can be a way of having fun, and fun can be a political act in which art is the great mediator. A la Chinoise + extended screening programme The Site Specific* is a project aiming to investigate the political engagement born of the rapid expansion of our repertoire of images generated by the development of information technologies, which can show the traces of cultural production, history, the popular imagination, and every political ambition that arose and was reworked in the 20th century through images. As Godard shows in La Chinoise, the use an artist or activist makes of an image can determine the destiny of thought, revolution, bodies that love one another at high speed, every dreamed-of futurism, and the festive or painful awakening of a political consciousness. The programme of video works explores the relationship of Cultural Echo. With the new technologies available, the repertoire of images becomes an ocean over which the creators sail in order to get to the lost island of "art". Memory, nostalgia, and digital culture come together in this historical moment to provide artists with renewed tools for the imagination, and, as such, the idea of originality goes hand in hand with one another: of "deviation". In this manner, artistic creation takes place within this enormous, endless Echo, in which art provokes a "deviation" of the production, thoughts, fantasy, and illusions produced by human culture in order to create something completely new. * Extended screening programme "The Site Specific" is featured in Project Room Title Director Duration O Gabinete 暗室 Lucia Koch 露西亞．赫 2'00" Sequenza 序列 Camila Sposati 金美拉．撒科莎蒂 2'10" Just Because I'm Standing Here Doesn't Mean I Want To 站在這，不代表我想要站在這 Guido Van Der Werve 鬼道梵帝華夫 3'08" Foyer 劇場休息室 Cocoon 繭 9'42" Voisin 鄰里 Yuki Kawamura 川村有基 5'12" Em Andamento 進行中 Leandro Lima E Carlos Issa 里安軸．利瑪/加路士．易沙 5'00" O Mundo Em Que Vivemos 我們活在的世界 Rodrigo Matheus 路支告．馬蒂士 4'39" A Song From The Cultural Revolution 文革來的歌 Les Leveque 利斯．萊芙 5'00" Bullet 子彈藥 Tenzin Phuntsog 旦展．龐索 1' Embassy 大使館 Tenzin Phuntsog 旦展．龐索 3'00" From The Underground 由地下組織而來的 David Blandy 大衛布．蘭迪 4'24" The Apotheosis Of Everything 尊奉所有為神 Daniel Borins 大衛．布連 12'00" Yepa, Yepa, Yepa 墨西哥瘋狂音樂短片 Miguel Calderon/Nuevos Ricos 馬奇．加地龍/萊福．麗赫 4'07" Incantevole 迷人 Maki Gherzi 馬奇．卻斯 3'52" Hotel Paradise 旅館天堂 Sara Ramo 莎拉．娜姆 7'00" Climax 4 頂峰 四 Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster 多明妮可．貢扎雷斯-佛斯特 5'00" Withdamicbounce 麥克風玩伴 Giorgio Ronna E Matias Aguayo 魯賓斯．馬諾/馬蒂斯．阿瓜乎 3'30" Discounts 折扣優惠 Half-price tickets for senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) recipients (Limited number of tickets for students and CSSA recipients available on a first-come-first-served basis) 10% discount for Friends of LCSD performing venues 高齡、殘疾人士、全日制學生及綜合社會保障援助受惠人士半價優惠 (全日制學生及綜合社會保障援助受惠人士優惠票先到先得，額滿即止) 康樂及文化事務署轄下各表演場地之友可獲九折優惠 < back
