碌屏 Looping
Annual Thematic Curation Advancement Project

Parasocial — a one-sided interaction,
six outsiders’ ways of seeing,
a reconstruction between the virtual and the real.
Six artists from Hong Kong have engaged in a seven‑month “parasocial” exchange with Taiwan, conducted solely through online media. When we eventually bring our works to Tainan for a physical exhibition, how might this virtual interaction be transformed into a tangible presentation?

展覽開幕暨分享會
《碌屏》(Looping) 從「擬社交」概念出發，六位香港藝術家透過滑手機認識台南，雖然在演算法的無限迴圈裡迷路，卻從這些迷失與發現中誕生了真實作品，將登陸在台南跟大家見面啦～
我們誠邀你來參加展覽開幕暨分享會，期待在現場跟你們一起探索虛擬與現實的邊界！
開幕現場有什麼好玩的？
- 一起聊聊這次的策展概念
- 輕鬆分享環節：與兩位香港出生近年卻選擇多方與台灣藝術社群合作的藝術家及策展人——何應豐和丁穎茵聊一下：a) 香港 vs 台灣的策展與創作生態有什麼不同？b) 在演算法時代，地方感還真實嗎？對創作和策展方向有沒有影響？
- 六位藝術家全體出席，可以直接聊作品、問想法
有興趣的朋友記得留意時間地點資訊，一起加入這場跨城對話吧！

AI世代下的「身體現場」
這是一個從身體重新認識自己和生活的實驗性工作坊。透過類似「參與式行動研究」的方式，大家會一邊動、一邊記，一邊聊，從最日常的走路、滑手機、搭車、逛街，慢慢看清自己是怎樣用身體過每一天。
在AI、演算法和各種「碌屏」習慣充斥的年代，我們幾乎每天都被手機畫面帶著走，卻很少停下來問：到底是誰在決定我的眼睛看哪裡、身體怎樣反應、心情怎樣起伏？這個工作坊邀請你暫時離開螢幕，回到當下的環境、氣味和身體感覺，重新發現自己身上那個比任何AI更靈敏的小宇宙，一起盤點每個人的「身體現場」：那些以為很普通的小動作，其實都藏著個人的故事、文化記憶和對地方的想像。從這些線索再出發，嘗試為自己設計一些「創意生活行動」——可能是一個新的走路路線、一個與人相處的新節奏，或者一個屬於自己的小小日常儀式。
工作坊希望參加者帶走的，不只是一兩個練習，而是一套可以持續更新的身體功課：讓身體不再只是被動地回應城市和網路，而是成為你在日常中，主動創造生活、整理情緒、重新看世界的一個實用工具。

唔講唔知：你聽說的vs.我經驗的
唔講唔知：
你聽說的vs.我經驗的
「唔」：讀音為 (m^4) 或 \(ng^4)，常用於否定詞，相當於國語的「不」；或嘆詞，用來表示允許與驚訝的語氣。
你們是否對香港人或台灣人有些好奇的問題，卻不知如何開口詢問？台灣人對香港的印象又是什麼呢？這些印象又是如何建構出來？
碌屏聚會將以「唔講唔知」為題，誠邀在台南的朋友們，準備好心中懸著的文化謎思，在活動當天，和大家一邊品嚐美食，一邊輕鬆交流，重新探索「異地」與「在地」之間的距離與想像。
或許，一旦我們開始交流，便會發現原來有許多「唔知」的事情，「講講下」將變得清晰明朗！期待與你共度愉快的時光！

Curation Background & Concept
In 2025, the Cambridge Dictionary selected “Parasocial” as its Word of the Year, which refers to a one-sided emotional connection formed online — between people and strangers, influencers, fictional characters, or even artificial intelligence. Although the other party is unaware of one’s existence, an illusion of intimacy seems to emerge.
The concept of “parasocial” dates back to 1956, when American sociologist Donald Horton from the University of Chicago observed how television viewers developed emotional attachments to figures on screen, and subsequently coined the idea of “parasocial interaction.”
The exhibition Looping (「碌屏」*) unfolds from this very context. Six artists from Hong Kong have engaged in a seven‑month “parasocial” exchange with Taiwan, conducted solely through online media. When we eventually bring our works to Tainan for a physical exhibition, how might this virtual interaction be transformed into a tangible presentation? Out of a desire to connect with the local context, we turned to the vast online world to “get to know” Tainan. Yet what surfaced were endless short clips of quarrels, car accidents, fights, and quirky incidents — all, ultimately, products of algorithmic curation.
As six outsiders, the more we tried to understand a place through the eyes of others, the more we found ourselves lost within the screen. In this endless act of “looping,” we seem trapped in the infinite cycle of social media — scrolling, watching, searching, and scrolling again — never reaching an end. The images and footage we encountered, filtered and recomposed by algorithms, slowly blurred into indistinction. Was that truly Tainan? Or merely another Asian city such as Taipei, Hong Kong, or somewhere else altogether? Amid the fragmentation and sameness of digital imagery, the uniqueness of place dissolves, mirroring the globalization of the online world.
What becomes intriguing, however, is when this “parasocial” understanding is finally transformed into physical artworks and situated within specific locations (site‑specific). Does this act reveal an opposition between the online and the offline, or a reconstruction of the virtual (digital) and the real?
*In Cantonese, “碌” sounds similar to the English word “look” and means “to roll.” In Hong Kong, it’s often used to describe the motion of “scrolling” — for example, “碌電話” means scrolling on the phone.
“屏” means “screen.” Together, “碌屏” sounds like “looping” in English, symbolizing our endless scrolling through screens and the invisible algorithms behind it that quietly shape our thoughts.

Joe Chan Kiu Hong：
"The harder I try to grasp it, the more I see: under the same sky, the same scenes and stories play on repeat — a shared corridor between you and me, running parallel through the currents of big data."
About the Artist & ArtworkBobo Leung Ngo Shuen：
"This process makes me reconsider what a map truly is. Here, space is not a measure of distance, but a reflection of feeling and perception intertwined."
About the Artist & ArtworkLo Wing Yin Daisy：
"Through collaging color blocks and codes, I create an impression of "south". Which one is accurate? I asked. Which one is inaccurate? I responded."
About the Artist & ArtworkTsui Chee Yee：
"Seeking truth through another’s eyes, I found only the reflection of my own desires."
About the Artist & ArtworkK. Wong Wong：
"Disjointed, off-balanced and layered images……are they shards of reality, or just a self-spun vision from a single gaze?"
About the Artist & ArtworkPeter Wong W. W.：
"When reality no longer aligns what the messages we receive from the internet, is it the city we’ve misread, or have our ways of seeing already been reshaped and subdued by algorithms?"
