The Squatting Urchins…

THE TALE OF SQUATTING URCHINS (150 minutes / 2011 / Terence Chan)
 @ FPC, 2:30pm / Saturday, June 25, 2011

  

   Just a few hours after raw noon.

   Nothing to worry about. 

   No nuisance of metaphor.

   Discard the panicking shrimp.

   Worried minute after minute, I would do the counting. 

   Havent seen you before?

   Neither have I seen anyone yet. 

   Would you pass me some butter ? 

   From where in vacuum plain is the images quilted ? 

   The adjusted musician would tell me all about it. 

   Let them urchins fall tender calculated off the staircase. 

   No animals whatsoever where harmed in the making of this video. 

   Im sick today. . . please,  feel free to have some more.

  - terrence chan

Talking head questions: inductive and interdisciplinary

- Elliot W.Y. LEUNG

FPC Forum: ‘What’s in a Talking Head: narrated selves and event structure”
2010.06.26 / FPC / 2:30-4:30 pm / Linda C.H. LAI

Some belated thoughts…

Absolutely fascinating talk and materials; materials which – as was acknowledged during the presentation – lend itself to so many possible frames of analysis, approaches, and appealable to various knowledge/capital fields (Bourdieu), that an inter-disciplinary analysis becomes an unimaginably arduous endeavour, the success of which, nonetheless, would no doubt do justice to the richness of the theoretical mosaic invoked.

The challenge – or problem, depending on how one sees it – seems to be that ‘talking heads’ as an object of analysis as well as aesthetic gaze crosses so many conceptual boundaries that 10+ very different essays can be conceived, each published in a different journal in a different knowledge/citation field:

“Flowpoints”: Generative Image Creation Method Using Optical Flow / Open Forum #3

- Hector Rodriguez


Friday, July 9, 2010 (7:00-9:00 pm)
 FPC – Open studio – Forum
 The talk will last for an hour followed by discussion. / FORUM begins at 7:00pm with a simple pizza party.

There is a tradition of contemporary art that aims to break away from preconceived goals. The aesthetic form and order of the work no longer precede the means or techniques employed. Instead of starting out with a predefined idea of the final outcome, artistic work unfolds as the experimental exploration of a set of technical operations.

The artist starts out by choosing one or more computational procedures (algorithms) without …

A lecture on visual auto-ethnography by Dr. Linda Lai

 

 

Linda Lai's autoethnography

 

Auto-ethnography [field study about oneself] is by definition an experimental form of ethnography. According to Catherine Russell, many key examples of experimental cinema and autobiographical films could be understood as auto-ethnography. Linda Lai will discuss this view, trace such a history, and shed light on the notion of auto-ethnography in the practice of contemporary art. Various examples by famous artists and Lai’s own video work will be used for illustration.

 

 

 

Title of talk: “Autoethnography: experimental ethnography / a hybrid creative practice”

1:00 – 3:00pm / Saturday, March 6, 2010
