Andrea Coronil’s works are based literally on the FBI files on her father, obtained through a Freedom of Information request and made into art. They bear titles such as Dad is An Ali en, Tear Gas, Agreements, and Agents At Grandma's Door . The FBI’s heavy redactions make the documents nearly illegible, yet give them a Kafkaesque dimension. Mylar sheets on these pieces reflect the viewer, questioning the individual’s role in societal attitudes. New thought concatenations can be brought to bear on understanding cultural migration and tradition. Chemin Hsiao draws commuters, tourists, and homeless people - the lonely or abandoned – recording the cruel face of capitalism. Similarly, Yutien Chang comments on social status, and roads not taken in sculptures of broken wings and pigeon-headed human forms. Here, we use a fresh perspective to view small and possibly even isolated pockets of disjointedness, and then interpret them in an international context. Lulu Meng emphasizes duality in response to her situation as an immigrant immersed in American society. Miya Ando’s Japanese-sword-making heritage finds expression in the metallurgical aspect of her artistic practice, as she recreates silk kimonos sewed by her grandmother from dyed, anodized aluminum squares.

The contradictory interaction between local and foreign cultures is satirized by Chen Ching Yao. He plays a costumed role in the His I ❤ New York series which shows figures in native costumes in different ethnic restaurants. Further links between food and culture are traced in Cheng JenPei’s series Recipe evolution movement about cuisine among immigrants from Southeast Asia to Taiwan, melding flavors from both the immigrants’ new environs and from their hometowns, and discussing food choices. The looped videos include Manhatitlan Codex , the animation of Mexican American artist Felipe Gallindo and his humorous exploration of the challenges of the universal immigrant experience. Another superficially simple cartoon with strong cultural content is Kelly Tsai’s and Ryan Hartley Smith’s Find Your Place in the World . Recalling the experiences of Americorps alumni and harking back to the WPA, it examines the role of the individual in society. Using similar methods, Peishih Tu’s digital piece The Adventures in Mount Yu is a colorful fantasia of painting and collage and dramatization of social movements in Taiwan. Images refer to a realistic yet fictional colonial village in Taiwan that participates in modern history.

Cultural changes are not only induced by geographic movement, but also by technological evolution. Yu-Chuan Tseng’s digital artwork 365 faces of Jane is composed of photos taken from the internet of people associated with the word “Jane.” This piece recalls the artist’s ambivalent connection with her English name “Jane” and with the internet itself which projects personas instead of identities. It thus foreshadows the skepticism of Peychwen Lin, whose creation Eve Clone employs Biblical references in her challenge to current modes of use of digital technology.
