「眼睛總盯著那裏…很想看多回」（三）：我們都可以是魔術師 "Can't help fixing my gaze... wanna watch again” 3: We could all be magicians
Perhaps too good to be true? indeed mainstream movies, though produced with a commercial incentive, are often the makers' personal projections of an ideal world even if it is impossible in real life. Some regard fictionalization to be an illustionistic escape, but fictionalization is a humanistic form of agency. UFO filmmaker Lee Chi-ngai's aspiration is uncompromising: we could all be magicians, to ourselves and to one another, and, we must be. 常道虚構和想象是逃避現實的幻覺主義的表現，與落實建設社會背道而馳。換個角度，虚構是能動的體現，創作者投射的自由，開啔着一扇門，讓我們窺見别的可能性。電影人李志毅的個人投射清晰而肯定：我們都可以是人生的魔術師，是自己的，也是彼此的，而且必須如此。

In response to ZKM's invitation to speak at their Media Art 21 (MA21) Forum to take place in Hong Kong during the Art Basel period, Linda Lai outlines the reflection on her 25+ years of journeying in tiny steps towards a paradigm of (new) media art that answers HK's local needs as well as bears a future-oriented vision for media art education. 因應德國 Karlsruhe 的新媒藝術中心 ZKM 的邀請，我動筆勾劃了以下的大綱，值此追溯我在過去這二十多年來詢問有關（新）媒體藝術的種種而自行編出的細步，會在它們於巴塞爾藝術節樹起的香港論壇 MA2 分享。
Notes from Fogo Island (1): the time and rhythm of passing through 福戈島手記之一：過渡、穿越、時間、節奏

看「縫補歲月」，聽歲月留聲 Mending Years, fleeting sounds
FP writer Wai-leung Lai visited group "Mending Years" as sounds from the past collaged to invoke contradicting thoughts about the 1960s and 1970s. Is there a single reading of the past? He starts with Linda Lai's "Domestic Moonlighting," Wong Kar-wai's films and more. 「據點」作者黎偉亮徐步於「縫補歲月」的五人展場中，聲頻片段拼貼湊合的氛圍喚起的是矛盾不一的記憶與論述。到底上世紀六七十年代是怎樣的？真能客觀定斷嗎？先由黎肖嫻的《家居副業》和王家衛等說起。
