How might a beginning be an opening?
Zach McLane "returns" to FP with a new video work and expanded notes after his last and first visit to Hong Kong in September 2018. In renewed confidence of his own language, in words or images, Zach turned a strip of trashed 35mm film found in a backyard creek into the preserved evidence of an unknown yet concrete history. A documentary impulse of his pushed physical marks, scratches and patterning into the materialization of an absence now surfacing as perceivable forms and motions.

柔軟的齒輪 往 臺中國際動畫影展 2018 札記 Notes on TIAF 2018 (Taichung International Animation Festival)
FP Writer and Artist Winnie Yan's glimpses of the TIAF 2018 highlights how seeing differently in animation is rooted in the technology that evolves around and generates the art form. To some animation artists, the single frame, as opposed to the shot in live action film/video, is the basic unit of experimentation, or that all innovative animation works are intermedia in nature. Either way, the persistence of vision makes our eyes unique apparatus connecting to the world of the unknown imaginary.
Crossing the Distance Between Reading and Speaking
Zach McLane and Susan Lin, two fresh graduates from USC, visited the Floating Projects and activities associated with FP members all over Hong Kong a weekend in late September. Zach returns with a "dedication" to mark the brief moment of his trip which seems the new beginning of many things to come. And what about videography?
through eyes, we wander / through hands, perhaps speak and sing 若然透過眼睛游離，以手說話唱歌
FP writer Winnie Yan's thoughts on the unique, interchangeable place of the artist's hands and eyes, and the pro-musicial quality of moving image streams, were provoked in her visit at the EXiS 2018 while contemplating the works of montage masters such as Stan Brakhage and Robert Breer, and recently fuelled by her direct encounter with 16mm filmmaking. 「據點」作者忻慧妍遊訪首爾的實驗電影與錄像節2018，眼前眾蒙太奇大師如Stan Brakhage 和 Robert Breer 的作品，加上個人近期親身「落手」的16釐米電影拍攝經驗，勾起了各種對活動影像的迷思：手與眼的結合，影像流的近音樂性等等。
「歧路結節，開合解密」, 談羅海德個展 A review of Hector Rodriguez’s “Hidden Variables: Forking Paths of Visuality & Technology”

Let me see if I can put it in words: between FP 1.0 and FP 2.0 總有一點想法：「據點。句點」1.0 與 2.0 之間
Here we have recorded thoughts that could only be preserved and shared in words, from FPC members, including those just arriving and departing, between FP 1.0 and FP 2.0. 「據點。句點」1.0 與 2.0 之間，新成員、舊成員、離開了的成員，都用上了時間去勾畫這片據點。
