'Made Up the Translocalmotion' Cultural Exchange

It's an interesting talk between Shanghai and Liverpool, e-space lab in Liverpool is the order, and am space is the partner. This time, our topic is' Make up the Translocalmotion'.

The project is exploring how internet connections between people in diverse urban and international contexts can enable a dialogue that helps make more meaningful a reciprocal representation of what the conditions of actual everyday life in different places really are. Many of the ideas, illusions and misrepresentations that shape our undererstanding of where and how other people live in places different from our own can fall away in this kind of dialogue, and also be replaced by a live and ongoing pattern of multiple alternative representations. The forms that we use range from the human voice (by Skype or phone), text, text messages, and images produced by digital cameras and mobile phones, video of course, and even to web pages and podcasts. We like to engage with these forms in a process of dialogue and exchange, using whatever resources are vailable, and exploring the potential of new tools as they come on stream, especially streaming video. As artists we are especially interested in the role the arts play in the shape and quality of the ever changing shape of everyday life.
