哥多華當代美術中心創作紀錄：定睛眼前，凝視過去，觀望宇宙 Documenting C3A Cordoba: site-specific views of the invisible and the potential
完成「據點。句點」第一屆西班牙哥多華C3A駐場藝術家計劃的Jessica Fu回顧一個月的體驗，再次覺悟她我的特定環境裝置作品往往是個引導體，領觀眾超越可見作品的本身朝向為可見的未來，應對數據爆發的時代的無助感。Jessica Fu completed her month-long residency in Cordoba's C3A, FP's first edition of artist's residency at Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Cordoba, Spain. She understands her site-specific installations are often visible vehicles that lead their beholder to the unknown visible of the future and, personally, her response to a sense of helplessness living in a milieu of exploding data yet kept esoteric by authorities.
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。

Document as medium, archive as structural framework 檔案作為一個媒介 | 檔案庫作為一個架構: 李繼忠韓國藝術駐場研究之旅
A visit to Gwangju Biennale alerted FPC member Lee Kai-chung to the possibilities of doing an artist's residency in Seoul to study archiving practices for art, which he did and shared upon his return to HK in "Can't Live Without." 「這次駐場計劃是基於第一次在光州雙年展後到訪過MMCA作資料搜集的經驗出發的。那時其實並不知道有駐場計劃可以申請，只是純屬對一個藝術館的好奇...」
