BUREAUCRACY IN TIME 时代官僚主义

This project critiques UAL’s Extenuating Circumstances system through the lens of Crip Time, questioning the assumption that all students can follow the same linear, able-bodied schedule.
We began by weaving strips of printed policy text to reflect the system’s complexity and inaccessibility.

The woven piece was transformed into a long concertina and used in performative installations—wrapped around bodies, dropped from above, and encircling group discussions—to physically express how institutional time constrains lived experience.

该项目通过Crip Time的视角批判了 UAL 的Extenuating Circumstances系统，质疑所有学生都可以遵循相同的线性、健全的时间表的假设。我们首先将印刷好的保单文本编织成条状，以反映系统的复杂性和难以理解性。

这件编织作品被改造成一把长长的手风琴，并用于表演装置——缠绕在身体上、从上方落下、围绕小组讨论——以物理方式表达制度时间如何限制生活体验。
