Texting Red & Green

Wuwei Performance Art Series

Stamford Arts Centre, Singapore

10 March 2019

The 30 min performance and participatory artwork explores the liminal state in communication between individuals through the common system of “texting”. The work attempts to temporarily release the perfunctory gesture of “texting” from its dross of practicality and information sharing.

Through subjugating its use as a tool of instruction and delivery of information, the gallery becomes a reimagined space for contemplation and repose, where participants communicate through a common WhatsApp group, while viewers observe the shifting dynamics between persons, instructions and the space.
