This work was produced for the 2009 Arctic Circle expeditionary residency program organized by the U.S. Farm Foundation for the Arts & Sciences (FFAS). The film was shot on location in Spitzbergen, Norway and in Taipei, Taiwan. In October of 2009, our group of artists and scientists set sail for the island of Spitzbergen, where each of us embarked upon our specific projects and research plans. In the extremity of this natural environment, I contemplated how I might use the various resources brought by our group, representing a microcosm of civilization. Perhaps here, I would unveil some intangible system that responds to the urban life that we are all too familiar with. Ultimately, however, with limited access to resources, the harsh environmental and other mitigating circumstances, this meant that this expedition turned into an exercise in self-exhaustion against the face of rugged nature; as well as a journal documenting the limits of my own creativity as I confront an environmental extreme. Upon my return to Taipei, the memory of the expedition gave me a new starting point in my continued focus on urban perspectives and pulses as I attempted to respond to and organize the powerlessness and conflicts I felt on my journey to the Arctic Circle. Perhaps, what this journey truly showed me was that the island of Spitzbergen in the Arctic Circle was a mirror. The journey unveiled the expectations and disappointments that travelers carried with them to the island. It projects an intermittent silhouette of the values of human society as it responds to extreme environmental conditions. Everyone clung to their own convictions as their limits were put to the test; they gathered up what incomplete and broken environmental resources they could find to support the needs of their ideological framework. Persisting in maintaining the shape of this framework as they waited for the unpredictable changes and uncertainties in next midnight sun.
