The Viewing Party by portable.who

digital video, 4'54"
in collaboration with Lucio CASTRO
2016

《The Viewing Party》 considers various perspectives of 'viewing' as precipices of action. Between observation, the experience of mediated reality and the reverberations of relation, what is to be done? As one of the first texts by Lenin, "What is To Be Done?" turned out to be less of a call for collective mobilization, more of a threshold between misunderstanding and the laying bare of insecurities. There is a flux of things amidst our attendance to the viewing party, and sometimes, things just happen.

Featuring the voices of 李思怡 LI Siyi、李心路 Lulu LI、瀋賓 Biin SHEN、譚争劼 TAN Zhengjie、顏峻 YAN Jun、and 小鄭 Little ZHENG.
