ACT Student Showcase

Two graduating students from MIT’s Art, Culture and Technology Program will offer a public screening of their video projects with a panel discussion of their work to follow.

Wa Liu will be screening her work Gamma Garden, a video essay exploring how military technologies and ambitions to modify nature are now impacting our daily lives and breeding unease amid climate change. Wa is a multimedia artist who explores the power dynamics and porous boundaries between human, machine and nature through a multispecies lens.

Writing the Time Lag, a 70-minute film, concludes Lee Tzu-Tung’s four-year political experiences in Taiwan and America. Starting with Indigenous women and queer activists’ marriages and personal romance, Writing the Time Lag visits one by one their stories, and gradually reveals the struggle encountered for restoring Indigenous gender and historical justice.

Program schedule:

1:00: Public screening: Tzu Tung Lee Writing the Time Lag (70 mins)

2:15: Public screening: Wa Liu, Gamma Garden (15 mins)

2:30: Panel discussion and audience conversation
