Now it’s an age of sensation: Conversation with Artist Chunghan Yao I think art-making is a product of something that is quite spiritual, for example before I would always have some inspiration and thoughts after going to movies or reading books, and now I seem to have changed from the role of a receiver to that of a giver. Giving others spiritual or visual stimulations in the hope that they would do some thinking after going to exhibitions or performances....
Xue Picks: Jeremy Perrodeau 這些圖像如同充滿計劃性的失誤或者是刻意安排的意外。看似難以動搖的物件,用陌生的方式拆解排列組合,成為了冷漠的裝置。如果放在人物上說不定就像喜劇演員扳著一張臉在做難度很高的瑜伽.......

Once I was told if I walk from the station to my friend's house, it would take shuffling three songs in my ipod. Or I'll know how long does it pass when one sugar cube has melted completely. We hear tic-tac. We make tea. We wait for film to be developed. We see leaves fallen from the tree. And eventually, we all grow a timer in our own body....
Xue Picks: Mark Peckmezian 他所拍攝的畫面裡頭的自然都有些不自然。忠實地將不擅面對鏡頭、姿態彆扭的事物記錄起來。 總是將影像保留膠片和相紙邊緣的部分,像是翻閱過去擁有歷史感的家庭剪貼相本。 上禮拜記錄下來的事件,仿佛立刻就塞進了幾十年份的灰塵。
