🇯🇵🍁 The enriching and tightly packed “KYOTO Gathering for Asian Art Students 2025” has now come to a close. Thanks to @mami_kataoka_2018 for her vision and commitment to the future generation, @kanazawakodama for her care (and incredible memory), and of course to all the @icakyoto team members working behind the scenes, including @_____doma @washiyate @takuyatsutsumi_ and so much more. This reminds me of a metaphor I particularly loved from @yeeilann : politics is like housework. Housework is a very special kind of labor, because its success is measured by its invisibility. Over these past few days, every transition — cars, meals, slides, audio — was impeccably smooth, so that we never noticed a single delay. When all this administrative work is invisible, it speaks to the remarkable success of the ICA team. I especially appreciated how, despite exhaustion, everyone always kept smiling. And I equally cherish every wonderful friend I met on this journey. Indeed, as @jstmbty put it, the personal is political — and by truly encountering friends from other countries face to face, we were able to move past ideology and listen to one another closely, sincerely, and on a deeply personal level. Thank you all!

🌊 “You have to leave the island in order to see the island, that we can‘t see ourselves unless we become free of ourselves, Unless we escape from ourselves...” ― José Saramago, The Tale of the Unknown Island

Super grateful to have had the opportunity this year to present my year-long engagement, research, and ongoing reflections on public art in Taiwan’s social housing at ENCATC (@encatc_official ). Our session was actually quite brief, but the six-day congress was packed with content: study tour, keynote talks, policy workshops, networking dinners, and institution visits filled every hour. It was an intense schedule—each day was both rewarding and exhausting. I’m grateful to my advisor, Thanavi (@thanavichotpradit ), for the insightful discussions and revisions on my thesis; to my MA program @ccscantue and director Lu Pei-Yi (@peiyi.lu ), for supporting students’ participation in off-campus activities; and to Professor @summerthunderbolt for graciously tolerating my absence 🤣. Special thanks as well to Professors Deniz Unsal ( @de_niz_un_sal ) and Taiwo Afolabi, the session chairs, for their keen interest in young scholars’ research and for their incisive feedback in such a short time. I’m especially encouraged by Taiwo’s emphasis on building an academic peer ecosystem and citing local scholars—practices that are vital for postcolonial countries where the academic environment is still developing and historical traditions are limited. I truly look forward to seeing them again in Canada in the near future. Most importantly, the real highlight of this trip was the new friends we encountered all along the way—the true rewards often come from those casual conversations over kebabs and croquettes.

🫧 ▍有機生活培養皿 文/ #曾哲偉 「這些『殘餘』不正是最珍貴的嗎？」 __Métaphilosophie, 1965, Henri Lefebvre 你相信嗎？有些人沒用過馬桶！ 這當然是城市中的極少數居民，其餘的我們則更早地接納了這個陶瓷工業製品（防水又易於清潔），巧妙地利用低水箱沖水機制將廢物清除，搭配Ｓ形彎管防止臭氣回流，並最終匯入城市下水道系統的衛生設備。 顯為人知的是——「馬桶」或許反映了資本主義意識形態的一部分，體現出我們現代生活的集體壓抑，渴望藉由技術手段將「殘餘」徹底清除，永遠消失在我們的視野當中。伴隨著「咻～」的一聲，誤以為問題獲得解決，以便我們迅速回歸這個受功能主義邏輯所支配的理性世界。 然而生活豈能如此暢通。在現代性的單調中，這些無法測量、不可化約的殘餘被排擠到日常生活的邊緣，在現代規劃中無法被完全整合、消化的部分，卻構成了我們生命經驗、真實慾望和叛逆抵抗的基底：歪歪扭扭的街廓、縫縫補補的鐵皮、邊角泛黃的紙本文件、承載記憶的喜餅鐵盒、無法整除的餘數、以及久戒不掉的慣習⋯⋯在進步與效率之名下被我們犧牲的殘餘，暴露出主導系統中的裂隙。 而那是有機生活的培養皿。 —— ⟣ 場次表 ⟢ ０２/０９（日）▍日常的未來格局＿ #盧彥臣 #曾乙文 ０２/０９（日）▍「大量交織」的公共藝術實踐與想像＿ #蕭有志 ０２/１５（六）▍浮萍定海：去中心化的關懷社會長什麽樣？＿ #殷艾雯 ０２/２２（六）▍未來循環生活：從自造材料到循環日常＿ #呂宗翰 ０３/０２（日）▍電子錦鯉如何席捲日本數位政策？地域振興與數位村民的行動網絡＿ #黃豆泥 #林逸晟 ０３/１５（六）▍間隙生命：以入侵生物為模板的都市存活想像＿ #葉哲 ０３/１６（日）▍給未來的禮物：家庭檔案數位化工作坊＿ #何沐恬 #謝以恭 ０３/２２（六）▍我們如何在這裡生活？關於「公共Ｘ藝術Ｘ未來城市」的跨界對談＿ #吳岱融 #黃守達 —— ▁▇ █▄ ▄▋▊ ▆▋＿▁ #台中市第二期社宅公共藝術計劃Ａ案 #公民計畫 ▍主辦單位：台中市政府住宅發展工程處 ▍策劃執行：好伴社計 @happenxdesign ▍公民計畫統籌：曾哲偉 ▍平面設計：Yagi Wang @yyy_yagi 計劃網站 ➺ / 加入Line@以掌握未來活動資訊 ➺ https://lin.ee/HQahfLi

🫧 ▍Residue of the Residents “Is this ‘residue’ not what is most precious?”__Métaphilosophie, 1965, Henri Lefebvre Can you believe it? “Some people have never used a toilet!” Of course, these are a minority of urban residents. The rest of us have long embraced this ceramic industrial product, waterproof and easy-to-clean, that ingeniously utilizes a low-tank flushing mechanism to eliminate waste, coupled with an S-trap to prevent odor backflow—a sanitary fixture that ultimately connects to the urban sewage system. What manifests itself is that the toilet perhaps reflects a part of capitalist ideology, embodying our modern life’s collective repression—our desire to thoroughly eliminate residues through technological means, making them vanish forever from our sight. Accompanied by a whoosh, we mistakenly believe the problem is solved, allowing us to quickly return to this rational world dominated by functionalist logic. Yet life cannot be so smooth-flowing. In the monotony of modernity, these unmeasurable, irreducible residues are pushed to the margins of daily life. These parts that cannot be fully integrated or digested by modern planning constitute the foundation of our lived experiences, authentic desires, and rebellious resistance: crooked street blocks, patched-up sheet metal, yellowed corners of documents, wedding cookie tins bearing memories, indivisible remainders, and habits we can’t quit... These residues, sacrificed in the name of progress and efficiency, expose the cracks in our dominant system. And that is the organic petri dish of life. ▁▇ █▄ ▄▋▊ ▆▋＿▁ #SocialHousing #PublicArt ▍Organizer: Taichung City Government Housing Development Department ▍Implementer: Happen Social Design ▍Event Series Coordinator: Tseng Che-Wei ▍Participator: Lu Yen-Cheng, Tseng Yi-Wen, Hsiao Yu-Chih, Yin Ai-Wen, Kuo Shu-Cheng, Jimmy Lu, mashbean, Lin Yi-Cheng, Che Yeh, Tammy Ho, Kyo Hsieh, Wu Dai-Rong, Huang Shou-Ta ▍Graphic Design: Yagi Wang
