The Island Closest to Heaven

The Walker Originally designed as a multi-channel video installation, the film The Walker ingeniously deconstructed the background stories and the plays of the legendary Taiwan Walker Theatre which pretty much represents some underground culture scenes of 1990's Taipei. Based on a multi-character narrative structure, the film re-interprets the velocity, prime-time, rebellion, physical pleasure and ethical minefield referred to in these plays. With its Dream-like images, The Walker reminds us of the utopia pictured previously by the Taiwan Walker Theatre, indicating a polysemous, hybridized art world whose components range from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Transformation Scenario Blockbuster movies are increasingly produced based on the use of algorithms. We have grown accustomed to watching scenes in which numerous automated charac-ters populate the screen. Animated by algorithms, they interact as an artificial crowd that appears lively and real. Simulated life originated in computer games and movies, but is meanwhile influencing many areas of the real world. In addition to urban planning and evacuation plans, market forecasts are also determined by virtual scenarios. To what extent does this impact our society and thus our life? Do we already sense a change?
