I’d like to ask you a question, I am referring to you reading the article on the web browser: How many hours a day do you spend checking on your social media, watching YouTube and playing mobile games?

Harald Szeemann, a pioneering curator of the late 20th Century, was known to never include an artwork in an exhibition ‘that he had not travelled to see in the flesh’.¹ Considering the impact of the physical presence of artworks using traditional media on the experience of art, his curatorial principles and sincerity as a curator seem both admirable and unsurprising. However, at the beginning of a new decade, we are experiencing art in environments where his principles need not always be applied. Art galleries and museums often provide online viewing rooms or Instagrammable images of artworks; curators make exhibitions by assessing works via digital links artists send by email; and galleries distribute lists of works to be presented at art fairs to collectors in online brochures. With this in mind,this article examines some examples of how art circulates in this era where the aura of an artwork is experienced in different ways than in the past.² hope this article might offer an opportunity to think about how art platforms in the digital age could, or should, represent works of art.
DDDD I’ve watched your film AAA Cargo at the transmediale 2019 in HKW. It was so interesting how you connect the way that changes in logistics distribution are changing the geographic terrain and human life physically as well as the nonmaterial influences and changes through the China’s One Belt and One Road Initiative. Firstly, I wonder how you brought China’s One Belt and One Road Initiative to your work. Is there a specific reason for it? What attracted your interest in making this film?

DDDD We have already reached our last question. What do you have planned for the years to come?David Lewandowski I have many ideas. The next 20 or so films in the series are already written. I'll just need about 200 years or so to create them, so please be patient. (laughs) Maybe I'll sell off all of my assets at auction someday, and someone else can make them for me. That would be interesting!
DDDD Recently, the series Going to the Store (2011), Late for Meeting (2013), Time for Sushi (2017) received attention. Before we talk about the purchase and distribution of video work, I would like to know about these works. First, Going to the Store (2011) was featured in the final episode of Channel 101’s short film series Everything. Unlike what is described as the “normal guy normal walk”, the figure in the work seems somehow grotesque and its movement is also unique. Please explain what this work is and the story behind it.
