It is a necessity for me to see things together that are systematically separated in analytic orders. I am a blind spot fetishist. I knot bizarre webs of imaginations and thoughts. With such webwork I intend to cross the gaps between the orders. I recreate geographies of consciousness in which I move, pacing and cutting across. While mapping the scenery I am also about to leave it. The point is not finite cartography. I care about the scope and a space that puzzles me about transitory infinity, enclosed by a semipermeable film. I am a blind spot fetishist. I develop essay films and installations.

- Video Essay, Travel, Cave theory, Socializing, Crater
Hypothesis Voyager is a road trip film that weaves social theory with a trip to the west of the United States. The journey based on the movement of the film travels through the past and future. The images of an ancient cave, modern gallery, volcano, crater, and wild west merge into one loop to stasis the time. The way to find the loophole is to uncover what is immediately hidden right in front of our eyes.
This work consists of several visual components – a gallery social scene suggesting a first-person viewpoint, historical images of human shelter, a narrator speaking of the art works in the gallery, all of which flushes into the story of volcano Mt. Vesuvious showing the historical and mythological perspective of the crater’s formation. The artist’s camera shifts from a first-person onlooker to the vehicle that transports viewers through time and space. The narrator connects each chamber of visual components as she also affectively transforms, creating tours and making detours.

《假設旅行者》是一部公路旅行電影，它將社交理論與美國西部之旅結合在一起。電影運動的旅程貫穿了過去和未來;古老的洞穴，現代美術館，火山，隕石坑和狂野的西部的圖像融合為一個迴圈，以保持時間。唯一能發現跳脫迴圈的方法是去發現那些被掩埋在眼底的。
通過取香雞的景器展示畫廊社交場景的視頻，指出與觀眾相關聯的第一人稱視角。然後，故事變成了發現第一個舉行社交活動的人類住所的歷史（山洞）。通過改變我們看藝術的方式，敘述者將我們帶到畫廊和我們都面臨的迴圈。為了逃脫，時間凍結，藝術家深入研究了維蘇威火山的故事，並從歷史和神話角度看隕石坑的形成方式。藝術家的相機成為穿越時空的觀賞者的交通工具。旁白以帶有情緒的口吻引導觀眾，而路線則是通過引領和繞道將每個不同的場景連接起來。

JUROR'S SPECIAL MENTION

- Algae, Mask
We live in a time when masks are rewriting wearable protocol but in dire shortage. Masks protect, hide and morph the identity of the wearer against surveillance capitalism. How could we take these entwining narratives around masks to speculate on the symbiosis between the masked and the mask? Amidst all-too-familiar dialogues and interrogation of mass consumption, futuristic fashion, as well as the toll this takes on earth and society, how can future masks subvert the Anthropocene, instead, by provoking sharing, individual agency, and communal production? How about a mask that breathes, that is, made by organic raw materials? As we confront and question narratives of our new normalcy in the year of hindsight and the time of pandemic, these frames have coalesced in a vision of the mask as an emblem for open-source eco-consciousness- functional, accessible DIY living wearables made with biomaterials, such as algae.
Project ‘Algae Mask’ explores the symbiosis between humans and other beings, layered as second skins. The video Algae Dream rides on the prospective prototype and the sleek languages of market economy to smudge the fine line between fiction and reality. In the bricolage of source videos and original footages, motivational video mock-up and authentic presentation documentation, the video challenges audience in a multiplicity of narrations stemmed from discourses of business and science, displacing viewers within the muddy ground of faith and evidence: is this a real happening, or just utopian rhetoric?
About algae…
Algae is found in a vast range of objects from medical usage to food, furniture, and beyond. Chlorella pills made out from fresh water green algae, for instance, are gaining currency in alternative medicine, with their many purported health benefits including detoxifying heavy metals (according to a rumour during the days of heavily tear-gassed Hong Kong). Increasing disquisitions show algae to be a biomaterial, a self-regenerating energy source that is exceptionally minimalistic. New imaginations and methodologies around algae include algae type photography, algae-bioplastic, and a prototype for a fully algae-powered building (though too expensive to be commodified -- alas, another capitalistic excuse).
Algae also has a queer spirit. It has an all-encompassing means of reproduction, from vegetative, asexual to sexual, and its extreme versatility allows it to persist through the whirligig of time. In fact, the name ‘algae’ does not have a specific indication; it loosely refers to a polyphyletic, non-cohesive, and artificial assemblage of oxygen-evolving, photosynthetic organisms; it is an umbrella term, a metaphor. A term that still feels distant to many of us, but from the many instances that algae have interwoven biological and ecological histories into discourses of food, medicine, design and more, we might as well realise that we are all just a bit algal.

JURORS’ NOTES
評審評語
Queenie Li’s Algae Dream stands out on my “must include” list. As a video essay, it is deploying varied rhetorical strategies with versatility, building a strong audio-visual architecture to substantiate the subject matters of the author’s concern.
The 10-minute work is a much needed effort to challenge disciplinary boundaries and what amounts to a timely video essay. Much needed: there is a lot of room between personal confession and scientific instruction that could be playfully experimented in the domain of a video essay. Timely: there is the urgency to make sense of our fast deteriorating human conditions. Algae Dream is a fine supplement to the rather impoverished and biased discussion of the pandemic, and it proves artistic methods could be relevant.
Using the first person “I,” Li achieved an artistic documentary that is at once personal and curious of scientific realities. These days, our routine media platforms are jammed with scientific images such as those of COVID-19, which weigh on us with an authority we have no way to reject. Yet perhaps they are simply pseudo-scientific, or pure visual strategies – how do we know, and what do we really understand from them? What I like about this work is that images do not push for objective accuracy: somewhere between concrete forms and poetry, they impress on us the power of imageries, a kind of perceptual apprehension requiring inquisitiveness over analysis, whereas the voice-over affirms the place for doubt and enquiry without losing the magic of curiosity. Neither the “I” nor the work pretends to be authoritative. At points, it is a reading report, a confession of doubt and helplessness, commanding critique, and other points it simply forces us to see imaginatively what is supposed to be invisible.
Though sticking to a scientific discourse of health and disease, the work is strongly affinitive with critical theory issues, in exposing the “class” base of progressive values such as green life, sustainability, organic life-style and so on. Though overall inspirational, the tentacular thinking employed cleverly links the algae to the mask, from the originary of life forms to contemporary symptoms of the Anthropocene, thus imploring renewed eco-consciousness from its readers. As well, Algae Dream cleverly imbues queer thinking into a refreshed understanding or our relation to other species.
A rich conceptual map that persuades with poetry and artistic overtones. Following her unique documentary impulse, Li aptly finds the aesthetic and poetic to discuss science without being dogmatic… and allows science to be contemplated poetically without the burden of objective absoluteness.

Best Site Good Work cicloferon aciclovir crema para que sirve Clashes have eased in recent months and Bahrain's leaders have made noticeable reforms along the way, including giving the elected parliament more oversight powers and pledging deeper investigations into alleged abuses by security forces. Although tangible concessions, they are dismissed by many Shiites as mere window dressing that still leaves the monarchy in control of all key posts and decisions, and the crackdown continued.

I arrived there from London in six and a bit hours – far less than the driving time from London to the Scottish Highlands – braced for an American-style, post 9/11 grilling at immigration, and the immigration officer was the epitome of old-world courtesy. During a week when I drove around on near-empty roads, not one hotel receptionist asked for my passport, or any form of ID.
