Poor Coffee – An Art Project

Poor Coffee is an art project by artist ZHENG Yuan-Han. It is now presented at Xindanwei and can be ordered from the Xinkafei menu.

Duration: 26th May 2011 – To Be Informed
Location: Xindanwei, 50 Yongjia Rd., Shanghai
Cost: 35 rmb/cup
Artist:  ZHENG Yuan-Han

About the Poor Coffee:
This project is about Mixing, Lineage, Time, Memory, Emotion and Life. By mixing two common tastes from daily life, the traditional information within each of them evolves into a brand new way of thinking and experience.

Poor Coffee is a beverage composed of authentic coffee and fermented Pu’er tea. Looked at from the perspective of its timeline, its cultural background and tradition, Pu’er and coffee are heavily symbolic beverages.

“Poor Coffee” is both a public installation and a space to provide a service. It can be set up in a particular place by hand, and then exists and serves as a node for people to meet in. Through the Poor Coffee installation, the information being conveyed and exchanged in this particular space can be stored in the artwork, thus, this exchange of information conveys the new thinking and experience which are advocated by Poor Coffee.

The new thinking embodied in the drink considers how, in our short lives, we can experience a state which is more peaceful, more open, more tolerant and integrating wisdom within this impulsive and chaotic world.

This new experience of coffee together with Pu’er tea, combines eachs long history as well as their beautiful legends. They are also similar in colour and the emotion, and their profoundness lies in their deep colour. Coffee is refreshing with its distinctive aroma, tasting bitter at first, followed by sweetness. Similarly, Pu’er tea’s bittersweet taste leaves people with an aftertaste of a legacy of history and reverie.

Coffee finds itself in every corner of the Western world and is closely related to space as a form of culture. Tea enjoys the same position in Asian cultures, such as China, Japan and India. Tea is also a noble beverage in Western countries with an exotic touch, and it becomes a key product in our time advocating the concept of nature, environmental protection and the maintenance of health. Pu’er itself enjoys a long history and its nature, colour and taste resemble those of coffee to a considerable degree. The combination of these two drinks can generate a special emotion and multi-level taste, which also embodies the diversity of culture.

Confronted with globalisation, the turbulence and shocks in the world; facing terrorism, assassination, coups, tsunami, earthquakes and the decline in morality in human beings – what has become of us? Where have all the glorious ideas of the philosophers gone? What about the humanism that we used to have? Poor Coffee is more than just a new taste and a new cultural thought, it is also a time machine which makes time stand still. It’s a complement to life, and it’s about a hope for “slowness”.

The form of the piece：
The artwork “Poor Coffee” can be presented in various forms. It can be as large as a real cafe or as small as a sign or a mobile installation. It is omnipresent. Each one of the potential forms can be the external experience conveying the inner information within the piece.
The piece provides free WIFI on site when displayed. The surroundings will be integrated with the piece for the external experience that Poor Coffee creates.

普洱咖啡──一个艺术计划

普洱咖啡是艺术家郑云瀚的艺术计划。目前这个计划正以新咖啡特殊饮品的方式在新单位展出。

时间: 2011年五月开始，结束时间未定
地点: 上海市永嘉路50号，新单位
费用: 35 元/杯
艺术家:  郑云瀚

关于普尔咖啡：
这个计划是一个关于“混杂”、“传承”、“时间”、“记忆”、“情感”与“生命”的作品。通过混杂日常中两种普通的味觉，进而带动他们背后所传承的信息进化成一种“新的思考”，一种“新的体验”。 普洱咖啡：是将纯正的咖啡和发酵后的熟普洱茶混合处理的饮料。无论从时间线索，文化线索还是习惯反应来讲，普洱茶和咖啡都是这个世界上最具有代表性的饮料。 普洱咖啡既是一个公共装置，也是一个服务空间。他可以在一夜之间切入一个环境内，在空间中作为一个节点而存在。通过普洱咖啡这种饮料为触角，将空间中交流交换的信息保存在作品中。通过信息的交换传达出普洱咖啡所倡导的“新的思考”“新的体验”。

“新的思考”是在浮躁混乱的现实世界里，怎样才能用一种更加“平和”，更加“开阔”，更加“包容”，更加“融智”的状态来行走我们短暂的生命体验。 “新的体验”咖啡与熟普洱茶同样具有着悠久的历史和美丽的传说。在汤色与情感上有类似的地方，浑浊中透着空冥。咖啡醇香提神，先苦后甘，普洱茶同样是回甘青涩，细品之下有历史的余韵和遐思。

咖啡根植到西方世界的每一个空间，作为一种文化与空间紧密相连。茶——具有同样的地位在中国、日本、印度等亚洲国家，同时作为西方异国情调的高雅饮品，成为当代讲求自然、环保、养生理念需要的必需。普洱茶的历史很悠久，普洱本身的品性、色泽、味道在很大程度上与咖啡具有一定的相似性。两种饮料的综合可以产生一种特别的情绪，在口感上多层次的感受，也是文化思考上 多重的体现。 直面当下全球性，浮动与碰撞不断的背景下，恐怖袭击、暗杀、政变、海啸、地震等天灾人祸，以及人类个体的道德缺失。我们到底怎么了？之前那么多伟大哲人的思想那里去了？我们所拥有过的准则那里去了？普洱咖啡不仅仅提供了一种新的味觉，新的文化思考，同时也是使时间停留的时光机器，也许会是一种生活的调剂，也许是关于“慢”的希望。

作品形态：
普洱咖啡可以有很多种形态，大到一个真正的咖啡馆，小到一个标牌或者是一个移动的装置⋯⋯无可不可，无处不在，都可以是传达出作品内在的信息的外在体验。 作品呈现时有免费的WIFI对环境开放，这一换杂的环境，是普洱咖啡为外在体验所创造的融合空间。

想要对这个计划了解更多，请进入普洱咖啡网站。

Have you ever thought about the role clothes are playing in our life? Nowadays, as brands of any kind are flooding the whole fashion industry with lots of manufactured garments, we almost forget the importance of wearing clothes that we like. This Sunday afternoon at 3PM, come to gather and share with us your thoughts. First we will watch “In-utile”, a short documentary about the unconventional work of Ma Ke (马可), a Chinese fashion designer. Join us after for an open discussion.

Hope to hear from you here!

About the documentary:
The tropical humidity of Guangzhou. A garment factory. Some young workers coming from all across the country to work in the hot hectic of a plant. Fashionable clothes produced on an assembly line to be sell everywhere after. The design of the independent brand EXCEPTION is also coming into being. The young designer Ma Ke (马可) and her friends are creating a unique “exception”. She wants it to be her own fashion, history and culture combine into a clothing design. In the upcoming Paris Fashion Week 2007, Ma Ke (马可) will bring a “In-utile” series of garment to the fashion capital.
The movie is part of the “Artist Trilogy” from the director Jia Zhangke and won the Horizons Documentary Award at Venice Film Festival in 2007

About The Third Hand:
The Third Hand use the redesign of second hand clothes to convey emotions. Old clothes carry with them their own history and often represent for oneself more than an a simple product. The Third Hand is an attempt to pursue further the on-going emotional story hidden inside every cloth.

Susan Evans is the founder and principle of Kplunk and GoodtoSH. Susan moved to Shanghai in 2008 and immediately set about exploring the perceptions, behaviours and ideals of urban citizens and experts in the field of environmental sustainability.

Her career experience started at the Fraunhofer research institute in Germany, working on the development of innovative technologies for the European Commission, moved into strategic creative development and the global network of Publicis Advertising Agency in London and San Francisco, later Vice President of FCB and Y&R and finally founding her own business Kplunk. Susan has worked on some of the biggest people brands such as Nintendo, Perrier and Volvo, and some world leaders such as Intel and Xerox , to name a few, plus reaping the experience and rush of working in Silicon valley during the madness of the internet bubble. Creating social change in China adds an exciting challenge to her portfolio.

Susan’s approach is to create desirability, demand and awareness at the micro level: “bottom up approach”. Focused on urban citizens this will complement and create pull for the macro approach: “top down approach” as new technologies, systems and infrastructure become available. Susan’s goal is to speed up the adoption of sustainable living so as to improve peoples quality of living and at the same time reduce use of non-sustainable natural resources and health threatening pollution.

Susan Evans: Adv. decision making in Environmental Sustainability, Post Grad, Research Statistics M.Sc, Computing, operational research & statistics, B.Sc hons, Sport, B.Ed.

Susan Evans是Kplunk的负责人，同时，她也是GoodtoSH和01酷骑项目的创始人，也是目前上海可持续的绿色环保行动中最活跃的成员和联系人。 Susan于2008年来到上海，随后便立即了对中国城市居民和专家们对于可持续发展的观念、行为和理想的展开了调查和研究。

她的这项职业从德国的弗劳恩霍夫协会（Fraunhofer）开始，先为欧洲委员会创新科技的发展工作，而后在伦敦和洛杉矶的阳狮（Publicis）广告公司进行创造性发展策略和全球网络方面的工作，接着成为大桥广告公司（FCB）的电扬广告公司（Y&R）工作的副总裁，现在终于建立了自己的公司Kplunk. Susan曾为一些众所周知的硅谷名企服务，如因特尔（Inter）、富士施乐（Xerox）以及全球商业巨头，如任天堂（Nintendo）、毕雷矿泉水（Perrier）和沃尔沃（Volvo），这段在硅谷的时期经历了互联网泡沫的危机，大量的工作增加了她的经验收获。在中国，她为社会进步作出了一些创造性的贡献，这也使她的事业更有挑战性。

Susan的方式是创造微观层面上的积极性，需求，意识，即“自下而上的方式”。并且关注城市居民，从而补充及推动宏观的改造方式，即“自上而下的方式”，例如使用新科技、系统和基础设施。Susan的目标是加速可持续生活的进程，提高人们的生活质量，同时减少不可再生自然资源的使用和危害健康的污染。

Susan Evans曾获学位：教育学士（数学;运动)，理学学士（计算，操作调查;数据），理学硕士（数据调查），现读专科课程：环境可持续发展的未来决策

xindanwei chitchat edition 21: Killer Game & digital-urban lifestyles

Time: 17:30-19:30 Friday, September, 10th
Cost:free
Host: Silvia Lindtner

In urban China today, not just our physical but also our technological infrastructures are rapidly changing. How do people experience these digital and urban transformation in their daily lives? What technologies do they use, for what purposes and where? How does technology shape the experience of the city and the ways in which people connect to each other? In this chit chat session, Silvia will present some of her past research with young professionals in Beijing and Shanghai, who have adopted a game called the Killer Game for a new digital-urban entertainment experience. Killer Game gained popularity in China around 2004-2006 as a party game. Around 2006-08 a group of young entrepreneurs set up their own Killer Game gaming clubs in Beijing, which subsequently spread into Shanghai, Wuhan, Hangzhou and other cities in China. The clubs are often advertised as new forms of entertainment, distinct from places like the Internet cafe, and to develop a culture of cool.

In this chit chat session, Silvia will talk about what motivates these young people to go to the Killer Game clubs and we will also play the actual game!

Silvia Lindtner is a PhD candidate in the department of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. Her overall research interest lies in new media studies, human-computer interaction and urban studies. She focuses in particular on the role of digital media in creative practices, for social networking and collaboration in urban China. A crucial aspect of this work is studying the creative practices of individuals and informal collectives across digital and urban spaces. She has conducted research with two different social groups, urban youth and young IT professionals, and explored the different ways in which digital media come to shape their experiences of the city, the relationships to others and their work & leisure practices. Her work is published across an array of disciplines and she has presented her research at venues such as the Chinese Internet Research Conference, conferences in Human Computer Interaction and Collaboration, and the first international conference on Digital Media and Learning.
