Situated in an East-Asian context (follows the idea of modernity, progress, innovation The outsourced labour of micro-workers in East Asia (I'd be interested in relations/similarites/differences between NorthAmerica, Indian, and EastAsian micro-workers) Hiding this labour continues the conceptualisation of systems as fetish object/diverts accountability from the human to the gods https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2053951717751552 World expo as reference point for technology in post 1970s east asian nations -> coming from globalization? Definitions of east asia: when does it make sense to talk about it as block? vs. individualities? historical materialism parallels of various colonisations and adoption of technology - diy approach as response to these factors War and image making Animation technique coming from old Egypt and use by a Japanesse artist. (media archeological approach) technology as co-participant with its own agency Could animation as a gesture of identity claiming be seen as an intervention into both temporal constructs and historical - political regimes of narrative? I'd also be interested in hearing more about how these works (and perhaps in particular the media arcehological work) feed into usual/concentional perceptions of China's relation to technological modernity? Perhaps also in relation to China's current position? I'm thinking of, for instance, how China has become a main actor in the development of 5G networks, which perhaps contradicts usual perceptions of a "modern" (outside) against a "protected" (inside). Very nice discussion of different paradigmatic approaches between East and West when it comes to relationship to art and to technology: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/art-and-cosmotechnics
