The term ''multimedia installations on original filming locationstime-based media on historic sites'' as an art commentary originally referred to Chen Chieh-Jen's artistic expression which encompasses broadcasting artistic multimedia at the location in which it was filmed. It often requires the selection of specific historic sites combined with a narrative, thus allowing the audience to be led to the cogency of subversiveness in what is regarded as ''yao-yan'' (rumor) films. Since most chosen historic sites are controversial and the narratives inserted into the visual media and the site usually entail criticism, such ritualistic form of expression often configures into a collective gaze on history among its viewers. In fact, in the past few years, the concept of ''multimedia installations on original filming locationstime-based media on historic sites'' has guided the Taiwanese contemporary art scene into certain thematic focuses. The primary objective of this essay is the theorization of ''multimedia installations on original filming locationstime-based media on historic sites'' as an artistic concept. At the same time, this process repeatedly renders us to encounter either keywords or cases that are highly relevant. The former includes keywords such as aura, historic sites, narrative, and ritualistic; while the latter can be discerned as other artists' and groups' parodistic efforts, either by design or accident, in response to ''time-based media on historic sitesthis artistic concept.'' The multiplicity of the phenomenon also led us to realize that this form of artistic practice— which narrates and builds various relationships with historic sites—is able to inspire change far beyond the confines of contemporary art. If we view such an art form that involves returning the artwork to where it was created as some sort of identity production, the occurrence of thoroughly similar efforts in the local scene would not be surprising after all. Surely, there are significant distinctions between different ''multimedia installations on original filming locationstime-based media on historic sites.'' The secondary objective of this essay is to discuss these differences in the context of Taiwan's contemporary art scene. |
