The project is to use digital technology to map the landscape of transnational Chinese culture identity.

The project uses digital technology to map the landscape of transnational Chinese cultural identity. People of Chinese descent in different parts of the world have been invited to take digital photographs or video footage of their dinners on Chinese New Years Eve. There are images of the food, the places and the people they have dinner with. Images and comments about the event are gathered via the internet. All the collected material is edited into separated themed video clips for the installation.

The project explores how the dinner varies in different part of the world within the shared framework of Chinese culture, and how the young Chinese generation who are now living in a globalised world perceive this already transformed and diversified tradition. Via the internet, the physical boundaries of geographically dispersed nations and time zones are fused. Collective views are gathered in one point (one email address) to be merged and (trans)formed by digital technology. A contemporary landscape of Chinese identity is then built up, which crosses the boundaries of space and time.
