沒有人是一座孤島。人之所以為人，除了我們有獨特的溝通工具及方法，人類的思想、感覺、夢想與情感交織。《Epoh》是一項可讓公眾參與式活動影像計劃。作品探討網民如何捕捉在鎖定和孤獨中日常生活中的影像，共同創造一系列活動影像藝術作品。
計劃由招募參與者開始。參與者必需完成一系列由藝術家帶領的網上工作坊，並提供活動影像作為計劃的重要素才。參與者需要自備拍攝工具（如具有拍攝功能的智能電話、數碼相機、錄影機等）。三組網上工作坊的主題為構思、分享及編輯。我們預計每位參與者最終會提供不多於三分鐘的活動影像作品。藝術家李詠麒將提供創作過程及藝術作品的美術指導，而作品將展示在《再見再見》 的網站上，以供公眾欣賞。

►About Carry On:
This project is the second part of the “Letting Go. Carry On: A Capacity Building Initiative”, jointly presented by 1a space and the Academy of Visual Arts of the Hong Kong Baptist University. Five local visual artists with art education experiences will be commissioned to create a series of communal participatory-based workshop, exercise and interactive digital experiences. By asserting that art as a means to offer alternative solutions for contemporary challenges and cultivate positive energy, the project hopes to foster the spirit of resilience and encourage the public to live with “flexible optimism”.
https://www.lettinggocarryon.com/►About Epoh – Participatory Video Art Project:
No human is an island entire of itself. We are a constellation of thought, feeling, dream and sentiment that make us human and communicative. Epoh is a participatory video art project – it explores how netizens in Hong Kong capture the everyday life imageries amidst lockdown and solitude and co-create a video artwork.
The project will start with recruiting participants who will commit to a series of virtual workshops and contribute video footage for the final creation. Participants are expected to have their image capturing devices (smartphone with camera function, digital camera, video camera and etc.). Three online activities will be organized (including brainstorming, work-in-progress sharing, and sequencing/ editing). The participants are expected to contribute a 3-min video footage, subjected to selection by the artist. The artist will lead the artistic direction of the creative process and the final creation. The final creation will be showcased on the project’s website for public viewing.
