Category: Coffee Fantasia 咖啡經
個人沈溺可以是有趣的，只要分享，找你的「專家」同路人。咖啡，只是個起頭、代號…。又或你有呷一杯茶的瞬間可以吞吐的一個臨時想法。Everything about coffee... … Coffee plants. Coffee beans. Coffee plantation. Roasted beans. Fair trade. Genesis of coffee drinking. Coffee pots. Coffee cups. Coffee makers. Hand-crafted coffee. Coffee-drinking culture. Coffee and health. Coffee as medicine. Coffee as leisure. Discourse ownership of coffee culture. History of cafes. Politics of world produces. First generation coffee culture. Second generation coffee culture. Third generation coffee culture. Fourth generation coffee culture. Connoisseur perspective. Political history of coffee culture. Coffee academy. Barista. Cafes. Coffee furniture. Coffee-table books. … We are joking!!! Replace “coffee” with any noun — personal obsessions of yours. A tentative thought that may fuel up the slow sip of a cuppa.
Ryan Chung / let the mind speak 5: Loneliness is a Cry for Nothing「思維自說自話」5 : 孤單是無端而吶喊
Finding an ensemble of words to give form, thickness and density to flickering thoughts and fleeting sentiments is Ryan Chung’s persistent experiment in his “let the mind speak” series — speaking for its own sake, this time, “loneliness” must imprint its presence… What is the vocabulary of our own loneliness? 表述是為了堅守表述自由的維度。孤單是怎樣的？孤單的語彙是怎樣的？說了就是。鍾樹仁的思維自說自話。
Michael Leung / ON LAND 13: There’s No Need to Add Oil Anymore (a fictional story)「在地」十三：不再需要加油（虛構故事）
Is it a dream, nightmare, mind escape, or transcendent float in time-space? It takes a fictional moment to fully embody Michael Leung’s many episodes of intergalactic traversal, to regain the potency to enter a boundless performative space. 虛擬不一定是逃脫，反而是全情貫注的為跨界、跨域、跨族類的慾望賦予實質、形骸，以至可在其中遊蕩潛行，延展無邊際的演述空間。
Linda Lai / 方寸之間。氣流。你在牆上留了個暗號。Love in the Time of COVID-19. You’ve left a mark at the foot of the wall. (a poem)
她（黎肖嫻）寫了一首別人的情詩。已沒有話可述說愛情，只知道「想」之際自覺存在多一點。找文學對愛情的書寫，總覺女作家和男作家的視野不盡相同。沒有性別基要主義。只是好奇。想聽讀者們的回贈，讓她不落入自說自話的荒涼。Linda Lai wrote a poem contemplating the phenomenology of being in love and losing it. Great quotes from the internet were grabbed in search of the male protagonist’s voice, says she. Let’s have a conversation!

The Ventriloquists 01. Description as Storytelling…ask the objects, by Jake Wong 死物不死：描述也是敘述（黃汛一）
“The Ventriloquists…Thinking Narratively” (4-17 July 2020), begins with the on-line version of Jake Wong’s response to generative literature. | Generative Art –> Creative writing –> A story “generated” by surroundings –> “the window, the door, the cobble and the knife” | To Jake, what he offers is a framework — an initial state of a writing game that is endless with infinite iterations as long as we keep writing. Welcome to join. 《腹語系。微敘思考》啟動的第一個作品是創作性的文字。作者黃汛一的思路如下：衍生性藝術 –> 創作性文字 –> 一個因環境而衍生的故事 –> 「窗。門。卵石。刀。」| 黃汛一說與其說這是完整的作品，不如把它看成一個寫作方法的種子示範，為誘更多的迭代，寫之不盡。

Linda Lai / PUSH: the Quest for a Voice, in Search of a Body. 「推」∶ 探索嗓音、設置身體
An unpublished text by Linda Lai as an observer’s soliloquy on a 12-part interactive sight-and-sound sequence she created with Theresa Junko Mikuriya at the HK Art Biennial 2003.11-2004.01. Lai’s attempt to make sense of their automatic creation… Not an annotation, but an extension in the form of automatic writing describing what she sees on screen, an assertion of narrativity. 一篇於2003-04年香港藝術雙年展隨作品出現過卻重來沒有發表的文字，與組織緊扣卻多處留白的聲畫流隔岸對話。不假思索，想像眼前碎斷的畫面背後的世界。是延伸創作，推開無限可能的下一個小步。
