Title: How To Get The Mao Experience Through Internet …

Autor: Winnie Soon

Recalibrating the focus of its imagery, transitioning from representation to the material dimensions of the image, the work draws attention to the live performance of a thing in itself via (de)construction. The work examines the notion of operative images, that is part of a changing and executing operation beyond static forms of representation. Such operation is emphasised by live network traffic and interactions between code, network protocols, computer memory, amongst others, producing unpredictable looping sequences and delayed intervals, as well as the dynamic reconstruction of grainy frames and montage as an animated gif. The work questions how the liveness of digital operations reconfigures the experience of a public space and public figure such as Mao.

The work explores Mao experience through an Internet screen that comes with different spatial-temporal and social-political happenings, networked events, medium specificities, as well as the lens of human and nonhuman entanglements.

*a tribute to the brave.
