Long after Ms. QIAN places her order on the Display Distribute website (mid-May), Display Distribute is still looking for a courier to Suzhou. While participating at the abC Art Book Fair in Beijing a call for Suzhou couriers is announced, and Ms. pitpat responds to the call. Only a few minutes after sending her off with dispatch HQL-241, receiver Ms. QIAN informs that she has also arrived in Beijing and would be able to pick up her order at the book fair the next day. Unfortunately, courier Ms. pitpat had already left the premises, and it was not until a week later after both had returned to Suzhou that the handover was made.

By now super-grade courier Ms. HO has cleverly brought a dispatch intended for Shanghai to Beijing, knowing that it may be easier to locate a Shanghai-bound delivery person from the capital. And by coincidence or fate, she happens to meet not only a courier but the Shanghai receiver herself, Ms. ALICE, in a café in Beijing—the connection having been made by fellow courier Ms. A-KE (see dispatch HQL-232), who happens to know both. Ms. ALICE is from Beijing, visiting home for a few days before headed back to work in Shanghai. The dispatch is immediately scheduled for the following evening.

这趟慢递标记了对自由的高度控制和个人努力/展示 This 慢递 trip was marked by signs of high level control and individual displays of, or efforts at, freedom.
當我從香港走深圳灣入關時，一個護照芯片自動讀取機要求錄製我全部的指
紋。這是一個新系統，但設計的十分簡單原始，就像WindowsXP。當它存取好我的生物信息后，跳出來一句非常禮貌的「歡迎來到中國」，十分賽博朋克，十分「新時代」中國。
As I crossed from Hong Kong to the mainland at Shenzhen Bay, an automated passport chip reader requested I provide all my fingerprints. The system is new, but its design simple and primary, like Windows XP. Once it had received all this biological data, the system popped up with a polite "Welcome to China!". Very cyberpunk, very "New Era" China (新时代中国).
我不禁思考這個系統到底有多整合、多綜合。這些在深圳灣採集到的指紋真的
會連進一個巨大的國家系統、一個儲存有超過十億指紋的數據庫嗎？比如，系統會從我的指紋注意到我有兩個護照，過去幾年進入中國的時候兩個都用？又或者這只是為展現「新時代中國」高科技和安保而做的秀？在護照檢查口另一側，我看到了一個標語：「港口強，國家強」。
I do wonder thought how integrated and comprehensive the system actually is. Are the fingerprints taken here at Shenzhen Bay actually linked into one enormous national system, with potentially more than a billion sets of fingerprint data? For example, has the system realised from my fingerprints that I have two passports and over the past year or so entered China on both? Or is this just a show piece of hi-tech and secure New Era China. On the other side of the passport check, I passed a red banner: "港口强，国家强", "If the borders are strong, The country is strong."
去年我一共給四家單位提供過我的指紋：中國海關，台灣海關，我的手機，還
有我辦公室的第三方安保系統。誰知道這些數據會流向哪裡。對於它們，我一個也信不過。
I have supplied my fingerprint data to a total of four entities in the last year—China customs, Taiwan customs, my cellphone, and the third party in charge of security at my office. Who knows where the data has gone from there. I'll be mistrustful of all of them.
在北京地鐵白石橋站，我看到了一個引人注意的裝置。它也屬於安保設備，但
十分的「舊時代」，是軍事-工業-風，鋼印的字是重工業的象征。事實上這種設備只能是被某國有企業設計出來的，他們能找到足夠的理由去無節制地使用鋼材製造產品——跟深圳灣過關處的惡俗計算機-微笑毫無二致。看來中國的安保設備還真是兼容並包。
In the Beijing subway, Baishiqiao station (白石桥), I saw this curious contraption. It's also part of the security apparatus, though its "Old Era" and military-industrial aesthetic—the stenciled lettering, the marks of heavy industry, the fact that something like this could only be designed by a state owned company finding excuses to use up excess steel production —could not be more different from the smiling cyber-dystopia of the Shenzhen border crossing. It seems China's security apparatus is a broad church of old and new.
這個裝置叫「防爆球」。我不禁想象到，當一枚疑似炸彈被發現，警察將把疑
似裝置丟進這隻球內，鎖好所有的螺栓螺母，然後等待裝置在這厚厚的鐵殼下釋放它的能量。
The device is called a "explosion prevention ball". I can only imagine that in the case of a suspected bomb, police are supposed to throw the explosive device inside the ball, screw all the nuts and bolts tight, and wait until the device has expended its energy within the thick steel shell.
當我看到這個金屬球上印的字時，我實在沒忍住想要加一個「料」字在「爆」
字後面。「爆料」一詞用以指將會引起轟動效應的某種洩密，最近則可以聯繫到郭文貴（Miles Kwok）的爆料，關於王岐山在第十九屆黨代表大會選舉前的商業行為即腐敗行徑。我好奇，那些誹謗文件會不會被裝在一個防爆球裡面，來避開挖料的記者和競爭對手呢？
As soon as I saw the lettering on this heavy metal ball, however, my mind couldn't help but add the character liao to bao. Baoliao is the word used for potentially explosive exposé documents, and most recently associated with GUO Wengui (Miles Kwok) and his detailed public exposure of Wang Qishan's business dealings and corruption in the run up to the 19th Party Congress. I wondered if inside this explosion prevention ball was in fact an archive of slanderous documents, deposited inside to keep them safely out of reach of prying journalists and rival cadres.
儘管這個國家有著金字塔般的統治——真實存在的又或想象出來的——我們老百姓還是會坐著火車從深圳到北京，在微小的層面實現我們的自由，脫離對於我們生活微小的層面所實行的控制。我的鄰座，一個出差的商人，品嘗完了一隻巨大的KFC漢堡而不用受到來自媽媽又或老婆對於他不健康飲食的苛責。而我，離開了老闆和同事的視線，可以喝喝啤酒看看我本該在上週就該看完的文件。
In spite of the state's myriad forms of control—real and imagined—we, the laobaixing riding the train from Shenzhen to Beijing, managed to pull off micro-displays of our freedom, from the more micro-level controls on our life. My cabin mate, a traveling businessman, relished his jumbo KFC burger with no wife or mother to chastise him for unhealthy eating. While I, well out of sight of my boss and colleagues, enjoyed beers as I finished reviewing the documents I should have read the previous week.

航班號 FLIGHT MU505
上海浦東國際 Shanghai Pudong International － 香港赤鱲角國際 Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok International
飛機起飛，不安落地。去機場前在醫院拿到了HPV和TCT報道，沒有什麼大問題。其實事情根本不是big deal，只是上一周因為那位年長醫生的描述而受到了驚嚇。「HPV兩個高危感染還不來復查？小姑娘你膽子太大了吧！」那位「資深」醫生說，我以為一年復查一次即可，這也是我為什麼在這裡，但醫生這番話使我度過了高空飛行的一周。期間我看了簡單的科普，說HPV高危感染多年才可能引起病變，而病變多年才可能成為癌症，注意這裡都是可能（和朋友討論說HPV最近大有被妖魔化的傾向）。但是，醫生就診時的態度還是主要決定了病人的心理；人和人之間的互動總是能夠超越一部分理性。因此，這持續恐慌的一周時間內我都不確定南方之旅是否能成行，是否這次能見到香港深圳和廣州的朋友們，是否應該答應小船幫忙慢遞，一切懸而未決……我在一疊報告中尋找我那張時忍不住顫抖……之前感染的兩個高危病毒自愈了！雖然報告顯示我感染了另外兩例HPV病毒，然而当我确信地得知身体拥有自愈的能力后，我似乎意识到目前正在掌舵的那位年輕但穩重大方的pilot的存在，坐在機艙的我只看見了ta的背影，驾驶着我的身体所在的这架航班，「女士們先生們，我們的飛機受到了氣流顛簸，請您系好安全帶……」
The airplane takes off and lands with an uneasy feeling. Picked up the HPV and TCT test results from the hospital before leaving for the airport; looks like there wasn't anything to worry about. Actually the whole thing was not really a big deal, but that elderly doctor's way of talking about it last week had scared me. “Two high-risk contractions of HPV, how could you wait so long to come in for an examination? Young lady, you really know how to take risks!" I thought having a check-up once a year would be enough, that's why I'm here now. But the doctor's repetitive scolding just left me with a whole week of flying on high-altitude alert. I researched the basic characteristics of HPV, which said that contagious, high-risk HPV can remain in the body as a disease for many years, and that after an extended period could become cancerous. I took note of all the possibilities (also in discussion with friends about how HPV has been especially overhyped recently). But a doctor's attitude when making a diagnosis is the primary determinant of the patient’s psychology. The interactions between people will always be influenced by something more than rationality. And so, this resulting week of continuous panic made it uncertain whether or not the trip down south would be possible or not, made it uncertain whether or not I would be able to see friends in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and uncertain whether or not I could help Boat courier her books. Everything lay in suspense towards that trembling moment of sifting through a pile of reports to find mine: the two high-risk strains I had contracted before had somehow cured themselves! Although reports had shown that I was infected with two other HPV viruses, the self-healing thing actually exists. Knowing the fact that my body can cure itself brought me back to this plane I am a passenger on, and the young but calm pilot steering the aircraft, the one only visible to me, seated in the passenger cabin, as a sturdy back silhouette. And then suddenly overhead: "Ladies and gentlemen，we are crossing a patch of turbulence, please fasten your seat belts..."

Not long after receiving the order for Display Distribute's "Second Mountain" series title NAM, courier Ms. Ho travels to Guangzhou for a printing project and is able to pick-up the route to Guangzhou resident “firefly”. On the evening of the scheduled delivery, firefly informs courier HO that his receiving address is at Guangzhou University's Guihuagang campus, a convenient location for HO because she happens to be nearby on Shenjing island having a barbecue with friends. However, being unfamiliar with Guangzhou, she realises soon after that Guangzhou University's multiple campuses are spread all over the city, and firefly's address is located in far away Baiyun District about two hours' travel away. Resolute nevertheless, she sets out, and on the way is informed that firefly has gone to Tianhe District for dinner. The handover point is re-routed to exit C of Yangji metro station, saving courier HO and couriering companion CHAN one hour of dispatch travel.

ORDER WC-1168 was made 2017-08-10, but a series of technical glitches and miscommunications led Display Distribute to believe the order was cancelled, and thus the dispatch was ignored. Not until exactly two months later was contact made by a friend of the buyer asking about the status of the order, so the dispatch was finally made three months later, delivered by couriers Ms. DongDong and Ms. HO to receiver Mr. Lu and his friend ASTRONAUT.

展銷場新一期的《目錄》到達柏林成功不動。 Durational Installation and Market Intervention.
Display Distribute is a thematic investigation, distribution service, exhibition space and sometimes shop based in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Exportation to Berlin is not necessarily a question of movement but rather in this instance a durational tactic of merely staying in place. Incoming packages, crates and parcels build up, turning the museum into a port of entry, docking ground and 11-day sublet. Artistic services and logistics gone awry engage the administrative and institutional as a question of multi-functionality. From the midst of a Festival into the middle of a Fair, this anti-spectacular moment of stasis traces the grey subjectivities behind bottom-up processes and mass production as a negotiation in movement.

Display Distribute new title acquisition mình takes a month-long journey as courier Ms. TRAN travels around Europe after arriving from Melbourne. Coordination between a shy courier and a shy receiver results in a meeting between two people wearing the same outfit.
A mistaken routing brings books from Hong Kong to Beijing when they should have simply crossed the harbour. Fortunately, Hong Kong sound artist-courier Miss LEE is in Beijing to exhibit for the first time, and her quick trip makes for a smooth return to Hong Kong.

One of those friends is Mr. QU, former colleague of Ms. HO. She will arrive in Beijing a few days later to visit friends, too, maybe also to participate in a lecture-performance.
Courier-artist LI will be embarking from the beginning of June upon a north-south cross-country trip with her 2 year-old daughter and 13 year-old nephew, final time of arrival uncertain but with a long awaited return to Lijiang Studio as the final destination. There, she will be reconvening with her husband, who will take go by car from their home in Changchun, and her parents, who live in Shenzhen. LI curated a two-year long mural project at Lijiang Studios several years ago, culminating in the book
