The session I've moderated had 2 presenters - 1st presenter: Wei SHEN on Extra-Terrestrial Imageology – Decolonialising the Cyberspace in the Era of Techno Feudalism. 2nd presenter:
Zijiao ZHU – Infrastructural Agency: Tactical Archiving and Decolonial Practice in FIRST IFF’s Digital Architecture.
Not surprisingly, the discussion ventured into custom database, using AI as a data cleaning tool, auto-tagging and also the importance of HITL "Human-in-the-Loop".
In her keynote, Karen Chan, Executive Director, Asian Film Archive, encourage curators and programmers to work closer with archives, organisation/associations, and collectives. Smart way to plug #SEAPAVAA 😜
Bonus: sunset photo taken in Ipoh before #SEAPAVAA30 welcome dinner and archival gems screening.
3rd and final conference of this whirlwind Southeast Asia adventure - 2nd Association for Curators and Programmers of Asian Cinema conference.
I'm surprised when I was asked to moderate a session because what do I know about curating or programming? Turns out asian cinema curation and programming needs #DigiPres too! (surprise surprise 😎)
