history

This animation is a non-narrative piece about how I look into Taiwanese history as a citizen and witness, and how the history influences the aspect of social development. Our culture is made up of many parts such as immigration and colonization. However, the identity loses its unique physiognomy. We should treasure and respect all cultural components in our land in order to create a new Taiwanese appearance, so that we may find out our identity

Our understanding of world events is based on information provided by the media, government, and historical accounts. Capitalism, media monopolies and a strong military industrial complex within our democracy provide fertile ground for corruption and propagation of untruths. How do we determine which "stories" are based on fact and which ones are propaganda intended to sway public opinion?
