1. How would you differentiate and connect the ‘I’, ‘We’ and ‘They’ in your work?

By making the installation as something which could claim itself as ‘I’, the space surrounding an audience could claim themselves as “We”. When the audience understands space can be dynamic and alive, and people can be environment to them, ‘We’ and ‘They’ become relative and exchangeable and ‘I’ could be defined by the surrounding of ‘Them’ and ‘We’ could define ‘Them’ as well. As result, the inter-dependent relationship of ‘We’ and ‘They’ to define each other emerges and the blurred relationship of the surrounding / the defining and the surrounded / the defined like go game is revealed. 

2. How would you define ‘body’ in relation to the multiple forms of presence, interaction and spatial condition in contemporary cities?

Under the assumption that ‘body’ of self is defined by surrounding others spatially and socially like the thought of Jean-Paul Sartre, the ‘body’ of self (‘I’) could also become an entity to define other bodies. When constructed surrounding spaces could become a certain type of bodies, cities can be seen as a field where human and non-human constantly define range of existence of each other dynamically with confinement/release and contraction/expansion. 

3. How would you respond to the concepts: ‘the space is a medium of the body’ and ‘the body is a medium of the space’?

By the exchangeability mentioned above. 

4. How would you orchestrate the ‘I’, ‘We’ and ‘They’ across two physical contexts (such as this year between Taipei and The Hague)?

The installation is preferred to have reference to local building space/environment through materials and/or architectural style. If the same constructed installation need to be exhibited in the different place due to budget and construction constraints, this would be a challenge. I don’t have an idea of solution for it yet but at least as a simple idea, the set of installation could contain reference to two different cities simultaneously. 

5. How would you connect the process of making/doing/actioning (which may take on different forms) with the process of experience and the construction of new identity?

Making something which would try to re-identify you and experience space which questions who you are and who they are would force audience to rethink the identity of the body of self. 

6. How would you gauge the tension between your work’s specificity and the possibility of indeterminate participatory input that jointly shapes the work in its process?

In the idea mentioned above, there are many unknown variables like what exact biological growth process it can take to design, what construction method would be feasible and appropriate, what cultural and social reference we can have in the installation, what site specific configuration and spatial layout would be appropriate to provide intended experience. I expect some of those variables would be decided through interaction with collaborators and participants.
