Hotlink Collapse
Hotlink Collapse is a 3-channel video examining embodied digital amnesia in the context of Chinese cyberfeminism. The work presents four speculative vignettes: a journey through a dark tunnel in search of feminist caches; a flying ant attempting to see its colony's complete picture from above; vintage Macintosh Classics displaying fragmented cyberfeminist chronicles drawn from known and obscure historical materials; and a matrix of static, genderless infants flowing overseas. Weaving together digital artifacts and environmental metaphors, each sequence explores how censorship-induced data loss and partial vision shape feminist resistance—from the ants' myopic yet persistent information exchange to the flowing waterscape that echoes both contemporary displacement and historical patterns of femicide.
