We set a time to meet. We adjust webcam position, and change between different spots of the room.
We meet each other in front of screens, through the video streaming and mirror image of ourselves.
We found ourselves going in and out during our meeting time. We tried multi-channels to connect to the emotional body
behind the screen in an isolated room, exchange glances, smile slightly, hand gestures, messages and emojis.
We meet images. We read images in projection time which augmented in physical space.

In the book »Fragments on Paracolonial« by Taiwanese researcher Huang Chien-Hung,
he wrote about the importance and possibility which »meeting time« could provide in the digital era which
internet technology accelerates the speed of image production and distribution. If cinema has revealed that the
world is a flow of images and that the world of images is in continuous variation, and artists are the initiators of the meeting time
who pick up and find the missing parts of the history in the image stream. Through work of montage, artists activate the atlas
where different times and places come together to meet and give new significance to the images and archive.
The 7 video works in Meeting Time interrogate the confrontation and coexistence of different relations between the images and cultural memory.
Monuments, statues, historical reenactments and museums host meeting time for people to encounter »image – history«.
How artistic productions intervene »history-image« mechanism and challenge established models?
