Mortal World — Junhao Wu

Mortal World

Sep 2019

On the eve of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (which usually means higher-scale rehearsals and stricter security measures), I conducted a telephone game along Beijing's Second Ring Road using the ShanSong app (run errands app). The message relayed was a lyric from Faye Wong’s song "Renjian" (The Mortal World): "Heaven and Mortal World , if truly worthy to praise someone, should thank you for why here becomes so lively ".

Because the Second Ring Road was under traffic control on the eve of the National Day celebrations, the project could not follow (we did not have a vehicle with a licence that could enter Beijing's Inner Ring Road), so we had to let the project run on its own, and the riders ended up returning to Qianmen (the starting point) after delivering to Fuxingmen (with an exchange of three riders), and the words of the transmission on the way back were ambiguous; the rider only wished to complete the task of ordering.

This is an art project similar to the teleportation game.

We need you to deliver a sentence as the goods (this sentence cannot be written down in physical form such as paper and pen or mobile phone).
