Freeport Labs - Signals and Storms with Geocinema

Online

Freeport Labs

February 8 - March 17, 2021

Along with Michelle Lai and Luca Lum, Huiying is taking part in Geocinema’s 6-week workshop, Signals and Storms: Making of Earths, held in partnership with Freeport Labs. Signals and Storms is an online/offline laboratory about new visualities and documentary strategies to approach large-scale systems and infrastructures, amid growing ecological and political anxieties.

As participants in this six-week laboratory, they will use their skills while learning new strategies to directly tackle the challenges of representation in our increasingly algorithmic world and our present geologic epoch. Beginning from within these largely distributed infrastructures of filmmaking, they are asked to trace specific processes of recording which are being used for imperial observation, surveillance, verification, tracking. The workshop is an introduction to narrative, sound and moving image strategies in order to articulate your own research urgencies, affectual estrangements, or counter-visualities.
