此計畫以探索印尼電影導演迪亞古蘇馬(D. Djajakusuma, 1918-1987)於1958年所創作的黑白電影《火鞭》(Tjambuk Api)為起點,回應電影中的技術物的隱喻,以及地方智慧傳統儀式的新時代寓意和想像。
Future Tao: The Great Shift is a new virtual martial arts narrative that responds to the changing relationship of “the Great Shift” between the body, power and new technology during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. It continues the project Future Tao launched by art collective lololol in 2017 and re-imagines the Taoist mind and body techniques through contemporary context.
The project takes inspiration from Indonesian Director D. Djajakusuma's 1958 film "Fire Whip" as a creative starting point to explore the periodic meaning of technological objects/users/local knowledge in the Malay archipelago culture.
