Delays Expected: A GEM Lab screening of artists’ films and videos set across and beyond Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea

Films and videos by Aslan Goisum, Ayoung Kim, Riar Rizaldi, Tiffany Sia, The Propeller Group and Superflex

Organized by the GEM Lab, this screening brings together artists’ films and videos set across Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam, and beyond. From ships to delivery routes to travel footage, these works move through layered infrastructures that organize the flows of people, goods, and images. The speculative fictions, semi-documentaries, and essay films linger on moments of disruption, confusion, fatigue, and estrangement that media and logistical systems tend to obscure.

This program is part of a multi-year research project examining the shifting aesthetics, practices, and technologies of video/art across the Asia Pacific. Led by the Global Emergent Media (GEM) Lab and the University of Hong Kong with additional partners, the project includes a publication and a series of public lectures, screenings, and interdisciplinary workshops connecting academic researchers and creative practitioners across Montreal and Hong Kong.

Screening curated by Marie Martraire, co-organizer of the project.
