Ours. Karaoke
by Chi-wen Gallery
Location: Chi-wen Gallery
Artist(s): YU Cheng-ta
Date: 26 Aug - 30 Sep 2011

There are both the desires of "performing" and "seeing a performance" hidden deep inside us. When the small webcam and trigger system turns on the switch, it allows the viewer to experience a highly visualized situation. Simultaneously, we perform while also gazing at ourselves performing through the camera. In the project "OURS.KARAOKE," the artist Yu Cheng-Ta has invited his friends to join the performance: he visits his friends with his laptop, using the webcam to record their crazy Karaoke performances. The YouTube-like collection of videos of unrehearsed clips creates a show of desire which is beyond the songs being recorded.
