Created especially for the Microwave International New Media Arts Festival, this platform involves the creation of a website in order to show the work of artists in YouTube. The program will not be limited solely to video art, but will incorporate the widest range of products/videos available on YouTube. We intend to work with architect Rem Koolhaas' concept of 'Junkspace', which he describes as, "what remains after modernization has run its course". We have appropriated his concept in order to map out the territory of a possible total Junkspace: the Internet. Located within this space, YouTube is an exemplary window on the production and consumption of Junkspace. A place in which strength and power relations are visible, showing YouTube is also a tool for fighting the post-industrial society that created it, as if one could see an eternal time-zone in YouTube, where the sun rises only to die the next instant. Light and darkness, East and West, consumption and revolutions - all of these forces, allied or in opposition, contained in a single sphere, the luminous sphere of the Internet.
The Site Specific also includes a video installation on versao composta (composite version) 2004, by Raquel Garbelotti and Rubens Mano.

特別為微波國際新媒體藝術節2007而創的，址點由巴西的雷森德及侯麗華策劃，透過建立一個網站來打造創新展示平台以呈現藝術家在 YouTube 裡的工作。今年的放映節目不限於錄像藝術，還包含了網上熱門媒介 YouTube 裡廣泛的產品/錄影片段。例如建築師 Rem Koolhaas 的的概念「垃圾空間 Junkspace」，形容為「現代化按常規發展之後的剩餘物」。雖然形容對象為建築，但我們嘗試把其概念用於一個充斥著許多雜貨廢物的地方: 互聯網。處於這空間之內，YouTube 成為一窗戶，觀眾的目光被引進特定空間盡情瀏覽廢物空間的製作及消費過程。這是一個可顯現權力及力量的地方。在 YouTube 上傳影片成為打擊後工業社會的手段，有如別人可於 YouTube 上看見永恆的時間領域。光暗、東西、消費與革新，這些同向或走向兩極的力量，都存在於一個星球內，一個於互聯網上的閃亮行星。
址點亦包括拉喬．加保諾提及路賓．馬奴的 versao composta (合成變體)，2004錄像裝置。
