Workbook of
"When can we have the ability to produce our very first domestic car on our own?"
「我們哪時才有第一部國產車?」工作手冊
Special Thanks | TSAI Ping Ju
In the project, there happened to be two handbooks. One of the handbook is kept at the exhibition site, for audience printed in black and white. The audience must be introduced through sketch and introduction, then entering the exhibition work. The other handbook is produced after the exhibition is completed. And that contains the work history archive, topic of the workshop and video record from the exhibition. This handbook provides the database of the project “When did we have the first domestic car?” meanwhile this book also provide a new direction of thinking for the project: An art project provides opportunity of service to the left behind technicians staff of OEM kingdom, and regarded that as a reflection for the OEM Kingdom, reading through these database helps reader, making reading is no longer limited only to words but, to turning that into action, an independent production of knowledge.
在「我們哪時才有第一部國產車?」的計畫當中,一共出現了兩本工作手冊,一本是放置在展覽現場,供觀眾取閱的黑白印刷工作手冊,觀眾必須透過手冊內的簡圖與介紹,進入展場中的裝置作品。另外一本工作手冊則是在展覽結束後製作的這一本,內容包含了工作史檔案、聊天會內容與探訪過程中的影像紀錄,這本手冊所提供的是「我們哪時才有第一部國產車?」的計畫資料庫,同時也為計畫提供了一個新的思考方向:當藝術計畫為代工王國所遺留下來的技術人員提供了展覽現場的代工服務,並且將之視為對代工王國的反思,閱讀這個計畫的檔案如何轉變成一種行動,而非知識生產上的代工?
