AMT associate professor ZHANG Ga curated an international media art exhibition on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of National Art Musuem of China (NAMOC). The exhibition was on view from April 19 to May 12 2013 at NAMOC in Beijing, China.

Titled “Transposition: Motion is Action,”  the exhibition examines contemporary modalities in which the priming of motion can be concomitantly occasioned by mechanical, electronic, and digital intrigues, in reality and by virtuality, through material solidity and by way of data bytes. Motion begets action; action incites motion whereby transposition reciprocates as permutation undergoes metamorphosis. Many a motion come to pass, invoking a subversion of dramaturgy; instigating a dislocation of space-time, inflicting a mishap of perception, or implicating a polemic and explicating a contention.
