Cruskits and Crows

This project grew out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodologically responding to the pandemic, it utilised an episodic approach to creative practice where the pressures of the pandemic – caring for children while working and making – shaped not only the production of the work but also its content. Released as an audio essay across social media the work documents how the pandemic attuned us to the micro-mobilities of everyday life including the more-than -human and their interaction with urban-based apartment dwellers, the movement of babies learning to crawl and walk and the movement of ideas through social media, university education and through memory and longing.

Research Significance and Contribution: This work was extensively engaged with online, viewed over 400 times across Facebook, Vimeo, Padlet, and Instagram. The work was created during the Walking Library and the Museum of Loss and Memory online residency program, 2021.

本项目缘起于新冠疫情（COVID-19 pandemic）。在研究方法层面，本项目以疫情为应对对象，采用片段式创意实践路径：疫情带来的多重压力——兼顾育儿、工作与创作——不仅塑造了作品的制作流程，更决定了作品的核心内容。该作品以音频随笔（audio essay）的形式在各大社交媒体平台发布，记录了疫情如何让我们重新体察日常生活中的微观移动性：包括超人类（more-than-human）实体与城市公寓居民的互动、婴儿学爬学步的动态，以及思想通过社交媒体、高等教育、记忆与眷念得以传播的过程。

研究意义与贡献：该作品在网络上获得广泛关注，在Facebook、Vimeo、Padlet及Instagram平台的总播放量超过400次。本作品创作于2021年的「行走图书馆与失落与记忆博物馆」（Walking Library and the Museum of Loss and Memory）在线驻留项目期间。
