Women in Tech
女力正夯

Two international artists are invited to join hand to present the selected content from their youtube channels into this online screening programme specific for festival 2017. Each of them present a side of curiosity, how we see technology and how we work with technology. Enjoy the show (online).

女女連成一線成為線上放映,用各自的手藝工架去談論由科技連接世界的大小二事。

Notes from Participating Artists
參映藝術家說

The Videos are a documentation of my work, till they become the work itself. I use a common popcultural strategy to talk about reproduction of stereotypes in the digital world. I m looking for different ways of acting with Technology which are not following a deterministic logic of High-Tech. In the context of a mass youtube user culture the pieces unfold their appearance while getting lost in the youtube universe.

作品本來是我一系列作品的紀錄,後來漸漸也變成了一件作品。這系列作品是我嘗試以流行文化策略去談論現今數字世界中一些特定種類的複製過程的手法,並且我一直在尋找在高科技領域中有沒有其他不確定性的邏輯。而在大眾(YouTube用家)文化中,這系列作品迷失於Youtube的世界中並同時揭示了自身的存在。

My curiosity for how technology works leads me to conduct experiments with old machines. Working with obsolete technology allows me to be adventurous. If I blow something up, there is always another pile of garbage abundant with objects for me to scavenge. The process of discovery that happens when opening up a machine and figuring out how it works is fascinating and empowering. I want to share these feelings and the knowledge I've gained with people who, like me might not be geeks or engineers but are curious about their connection to the hidden world of machines.

把玩陳舊過時的技術尤如歷險過程,我對於實驗老技術能引領自己走到哪裡感到相當好奇。我想如果我搞砸,其實也總有另一批垃圾變成我下一個實驗對象。而且解剖一件機器的過程中,你會一步一步發現並了解它的運作及生效過程,這是令人相當興奮的。我希望透過這些錄像作品與人分享我的感受,尤其是那些和我一樣,並不是什麼科技怪才又或是專業的工程師,而是對於機器世界的隱藏美學有好奇的人。
