Film portion of the Undercurrent installation curated by D-Fuse. The project feeds from a pool of audio, video and photographic material collected by D-Fuse from cities in China and the UK. This was re-interpreted by different artists in response to questions about urban architecture, economic and social change as well as our personal relations to the space that surrounds us.
The Golden Shield Project is a censorship project owned by Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China. It was formally known as the Great Firewall of China (in reference both to its role as a network firewall and to the ancient Great Wall of China). A major part of the project includes the ability to block content by preventing IP addresses from being routed through and consists of standard firewall and proxy servers at the Internet gateways.
The project was shown as a two screen installation at the Undercurrent exhibition at Lighthouse Gallery in Brighton.
