The Moment 當下. 瞬間
by Luchia Meihua Lee
As defined in the Merriam
Webster dictionary, MOMENT can mean a minute portion of time, importance, a stage
in historical or logical development, or the product of quantity (as a force) and the distance to a particular axis or point.
While the presentation
through visual practice has many different interpretations, artwork in displays
its own physical and psychological moment, as the product of a unique insight
and the distance the artist has carried his or her conception.
The concept of The Moment concept
is to investigate the play of the virtual and the real, inward and outward, our
intimate reflection on a surface, dark and light, or a view of self in the
outside environment. These “MOMENT” is a glance to visualize a picture, an
object, a location, a person, or a memory.
The Moment uncovers artist
encounters commenting upon the intersection of the inner mind and the outside
environment. Artists fuse their creativity in two dimensional painting or
manipulate it in new technology to discover new modes of relaying ideas,
frameworks, and innovative interfaces between physical worlds in ways that
provoke the imagination and problematize art interaction.
The Moment is a
live direct or indirect program that brings the participants to view,
physically touch, and spiritually experience elements that might be generated
through graphic, sound, video, or other art presentation. Through
re-interpreting the idea of festival, we take technology to a wider application
in the real world. Creative humanness, when the visitor is watching a video,
seated at a computer, or touching a screen, will supplement reality and
increase the two dimensional plane to a time axle moment. In one direction, it
points to the past, and in another direction it imagines the future.
The Moment will develop a multi-disciplinary program
to be built upon, leading to deeper, richer, and more personalized experiences
– experiences that we can take part in together. In the meantime, we can all
stand to gain from improving the way we share our experiences together. In
order to share the moment, audiences will express the complex appreciation,
desire, and fondness we have for what we pay attention to. And this will expand
their cultural and art experiences to a virtual museum.

- There
will be an exhibition including over 15 artists, arranged to show the
moment of force, masses and electric charge.
- The
fixed reference points allowing the viewer to calculate moment is
different for every piece of art. For example, for Amy Wen’s piece it is
the “peephole” through which we must look to gain a new vision. At the
same, the view limits our perspective to see and to sense, enabling this
- Other
artists have focused on mechanically oriented challenges to stereotypes of
writing literature or painting canvas, or weaving, or composing
letters, or cutting through canvas to discuss physical moments.
- An
intimate moment of force results from sharing a close relationship while
walking through a hallway in an imaginative performance piece. This may
lead to reflection on self-experience and more meaningful observation of
the locations traversed in life.
- These
pieces involve a mind change or a reminiscence through a virtual space to
dialogue in their time space, in three dimensional animation of the
structure of the universe. Sharing a perspective with such art, Ming Jer’s
“reconstruction” reviews the city in aerial photographs and deconstructs
the ordinary view of the urban skyline of the city. Interacting with the
space, by means of lighting, and a moving robot are the chosen means of
expression of the third group. The performance and the image design
centers this piece firmly in the intersection of visual and performance
art.
