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 this piece to comment on moment of vision.
  • 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.
