Tonight, The Future of Memory is showing an online installation in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts @ybca virtual space. The piece is a result of our year-long research about the future of memory in the face of power, algorithmic censorship, and online erasure. The installation showcases a series of invented characters of sensitive words to bypass automated censorship.

The program:

回 : a verb as proxy for place
YBCA virtual space @proxyforplace
Opening Reception: Aug 29, 5 PM – 8 PM
Please RSVP to http://proxyforplace.com/

“Together, we’ve built a space that both collapses distance and defies containment. Here, artists map the contexts of existence by examining identity, place(less)ness, diaspora, an eternal return towards a home always on a horizon.”

Exhibition Production by Macro Waves @_macrowaves
https://macrowaves.xyz/
Exhibition Design by Victoire Poumadère @vyktwarh
Organized & Curated By Tiffany Yau @tffnnyy
This work was developed with support from YBCA Fellows Program.

Today is the 31st anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests. The protests were forcibly suppressed on June 4th when the government declared martial law and sent the military to occupy central parts of Beijing. This incident remains one of the most sensitive and most widely censored topics in China.

Here is a collection of historical photos of Tiananmen Square protest.

2. Chinese military items, including rifles, helmets, and a hat, are displayed during the pro-democracy demonstration on Tiananmen Square. Jeff Widener/AP Photo

In the past, netizens and activists have made their own Chinese charachters to bypass automated censorship.

The phrase “情绪稳定”(emotionally stable) is used by state media to describe people affected by disaster, suggesting that the government has quelled the victims. “Emotional stability” resonates with the government’s emphasis on social stability. When an official report suggests that people affected by the calamity are “emotionally stable,” the government is saying that social stability has prevailed, when in fact it may be quite tenuous. Resentful netizens speak of being emotionally stabilized (被情绪稳定 bèi qíngxù wěndìng). .

In the past, netizens and activists have made their own Chinese characters to bypass automated censorship.

The phrase “不明真相”(don’t understand the actual situation) is often used by the government and official media to describe “mass incidents” (群体事件) such as riots and protests. It suggests that those who participate in such incidents do so not because of any real grievances, but because they have been duped by a few schemers with “ulterior motives.” .

Artist Micol Hebron created this male nipple template to protest Facebook / Instagram’s censorship of female nipples as unacceptable. Through this template, Hebron exposes how Facebook/Instagram not only has centralized control over expression but as platforms reinforce the patriarchal system of gender binaries andessentialist notions of sex and biology.

‘Thunderclap’ is a steganographic zine, that piggybacks on fashion accessories to publicly distribute the erased writings of Chinese anarcho-feminist, He-Yin Zhen (1886-1920). The work the artist made was designed to camouflage into the streets of Beijing by co-opting shanzhai fashion, the Chinese phenomenon that features nonsense English together with a QR code, as a covert system to publish sensitive knowledge that is designed for a Chinese context.
