Demonstrations - 300-Word Statement

<i>Demonstrations</i> is a set of works that combines thirteen online videos, specifically on YouTube, with video documentation of twelve live-art performances that ‘un-work’ the original thirteen online videos. The demonstrations research different kinds of ‘trace’ through combined methods that use body (subjective, communal), DIY performance, scores, video documentation, participation and event; they invoke audiences to do (or try) incomplete works that, inherently, seem un-working, mundane, politically ambiguous, and thus ‘inoperative’.This item contains a 300-word statement about the research project.

《演示》（Demonstrations）是一组整合了13段网络视频（均源自YouTube平台）与12场行为艺术现场录像的作品：后者通过"反创作"的方式对前述13段原始网络视频进行解构。本系列作品以身体（兼具主体性与公共性）、DIY行为、表演指令、影像记录、参与式实践与现场活动为综合研究方法，探索不同维度的"痕迹（trace）"；它们引导观众参与（或尝试）那些本质上看似"反创作"、平淡无奇、政治立场模糊，因而处于"无效"状态的未完成作品。本数据集附带一份约300字的该研究项目说明文稿。
