Category / Coffee Fantasia 咖啡經
個人沈溺可以是有趣的，只要分享，找你的「專家」同路人。咖啡，只是個起頭、代號…。又或你有呷一杯茶的瞬間可以吞吐的一個臨時想法。Everything about coffee… … Coffee plants. Coffee beans. Coffee plantation. Roasted beans. Fair trade. Genesis of coffee drinking. Coffee pots. Coffee cups. Coffee makers. Hand-crafted coffee. Coffee-drinking culture. Coffee and health. Coffee as medicine. Coffee as leisure. Discourse ownership of coffee culture. History of cafes. Politics of world produces. First generation coffee culture. Second generation coffee culture. Third generation coffee culture. Fourth generation coffee culture. Connoisseur perspective. Political history of coffee culture. Coffee academy. Barista. Cafes. Coffee furniture. Coffee-table books. … We are joking!!! Replace “coffee” with any noun — personal obsessions of yours. A tentative thought that may fuel up the slow sip of a cuppa.
Jess Lau (with Linda Lai) / 六顆子彈 6 Bullets, an exchange
FPC dialogues... Jess Lau wrote a poem and shared it with Linda Lai, who wrote a poem in response. The exchange develops into that of images. 劉清華隨心寫了一首詩，分享了給黎肖嫻。黎回了另一首詩。後來這個對話由文字推至圖像。
LAI Wai-leung / 不是影評。從光華迸發到日暮星沉，由舊戲「英雄本色」說起 A Better Tomorrow and beyond, not a film review
In an extended roll call of local made movies, FP writer Wai-leung Lai tells an integrated story of his history of local film viewing, an assertion of the right of a serious non-expert viewer's voice to be heard. After, popular cinema is a specific way to connect with the ordinary people on the level of living. And after all, Readership Theories have covered much ground in film and media studies in the past 30 something years in the academia. 黎偉亮一個人睇戲的故事，追述多年來看港產片的心跡，說明了用心看戲也就是用心活著。一個用心的觀眾絕對有權在「影評」的建制圈外肯定表述的聲音。
Ryan Chung / let the mind speak 5: Loneliness is a Cry for Nothing「思維自說自話」5 : 孤單是無端而吶喊
Finding an ensemble of words to give form, thickness and density to flickering thoughts and fleeting sentiments is Ryan Chung's persistent experiment in his "let the mind speak" series -- speaking for its own sake, this time, "loneliness" must imprint its presence... What is the vocabulary of our own loneliness? 表述是為了堅守表述自由的維度。孤單是怎樣的？孤單的語彙是怎樣的？說了就是。鍾樹仁的思維自說自話。
Michael Leung / ON LAND 13: There’s No Need to Add Oil Anymore (a fictional story)「在地」十三：不再需要加油（虛構故事）
Is it a dream, nightmare, mind escape, or transcendent float in time-space? It takes a fictional moment to fully embody Michael Leung's many episodes of intergalactic traversal, to regain the potency to enter a boundless performative space. 虛擬不一定是逃脫，反而是全情貫注的為跨界、跨域、跨族類的慾望賦予實質、形骸，以至可在其中遊蕩潛行，延展無邊際的演述空間。
LAI Wai-leung / 自由要塞的淪陷。並不偶然。What did it take to lose freedom?
A city’s history may seem to be in recurrent spells of dark curses, but historical understanding illumines the fabric of actions – often premised on the determination to dominate and control. Textbook history tends to box our existence into a chain of causes and consequences, but what about the place of the irrational mind at work in history? … HK’s loss of freedom may have been doomed from the very beginning, but it is surely not fate, nor destiny. Lai Wai-leung grabs the facts and the acts to trace how we got caught. 歷史教科書或許過於強調了因果理性。實存的歷史軌跡顯示了理解「非理性」的運作和果效不容忽略。看來，數算事實、實作是一個探究「非理性」的歷史探究的重要入門。黎偉亮在這裡數算著...。

The Ventriloquists 01. Description as Storytelling…ask the objects, by Jake Wong 死物不死：描述也是敘述（黃汛一）
"The Ventriloquists...Thinking Narratively" (4-17 July 2020), begins with the on-line version of Jake Wong's response to generative literature. | Generative Art --> Creative writing --> A story “generated” by surroundings --> “the window, the door, the cobble and the knife” | To Jake, what he offers is a framework -- an initial state of a writing game that is endless with infinite iterations as long as we keep writing. Welcome to join. 《腹語系。微敘思考》啟動的第一個作品是創作性的文字。作者黃汛一的思路如下：衍生性藝術 --> 創作性文字 --> 一個因環境而衍生的故事 --> 「窗。門。卵石。刀。」| 黃汛一說與其說這是完整的作品，不如把它看成一個寫作方法的種子示範，為誘更多的迭代，寫之不盡。
