“Over the weekends, outside at the playground, there’s a social gathering where all Foxconn workers gather and dance. The host of the party speaks through the mic: “We are all over stressed everyday and we are not allowed to shout on the production floor. Over here you can shout as loud as you want to release your stress.” One of my room mate has told me that he likes this weekly dancing party very much and he has found a girlfriend during the dance.”

“We start to see that the demands of great art are really not so great - just a girl’s voice and a strong sense of place - a concrete idea of verisimilitude and the quickness of mind to project it without stifling it in the process.” (2011)
