Screening of “Never Rest/Unrest”, a new film by artist Tiffany Sia, followed by a discussion on the imaging the real material surround of political protest in Hong Kong, followed by a discussion on the temporal, counter-spectacular, and embodied experiences of our current global uprisings. “Never Rest/Unrest” is a hand-held short film by Tiffany Sia about the relentless political actions in Hong Kong, spanning early summer to late 2019. The experimental short is an adaptation of the artist’s practice of scaling oral history, of showing political crisis in Hong Kong as ephemeral stories on Instagram for the past year. “Never Rest/Unrest” takes ...

“There is no Hong Kong anymore.” These four words have been on the lips of my colleagues, friends and family. Even if you have never been, every Chinatown is a facsimile of Hong Kong. The city’s specter also lives in pop culture, movies and cantopop and video games, and in these projections, we live its simulacrum.

The works on view usurp fraught channels to make the shortest distance between two places: Between New York and Hong Kong. Between Artists Space and Speculative Place. An obsessive material accumulation of intimacy between geographies emerges about wormholes; about cunts; observing the affective space between antipodes. How can I dig your way to Hong Kong? This is a show that proposes a wet ontology of Hong Kong—a city in ongoing transfiguration shifting into an uncanny vision of itself. Hong Kong secretes, leaving a trail of ink, tears, humidity, logistic flows and leaks. “Social theory has failed also to account for time ...

An oral history of tears, geography, and necromancy in and outside of Hong Kong. Too Salty Too Wet 更咸更濕 is a hellish scroll that attempts to catch up to the frontlines of history. Inspired by thread-bound books of martial arts secrets, this is a bastard text and an assemblage of lyric that confronts news addiction, performs an exercise of breath and optical training, and holds light to occult unrest. How must we summon the invisible?

Time has historically been written and mediated by powerful infrastructures, which they in turn enable. Remarking on the Chip Scale Atomic Clock, the most accurate and current technology for time-telling developed by the military, Chief for Positioning, Navigation and Timing Branch of The CERDEC, John del Colliano explains, “The goal is to provide complete atomic clock capabilities for weapons, weapon systems and the dismounted Soldier.” Weapons hinge on exact time-telling. The Chip Scale Atomic Clock was built to “support efforts to provide highly accurate location and battlefield situational awareness for the dismounted soldier, even in the temporary absence of GPS ...
