The work involves the use of an on-line chat software, ICQ. The curatorial team is asked to contact the artist via ICQ (or e-mail or short message system on mobile phones), inform their current location and the various issues raised by the artists working on-site during that particular day. Based on the latest information transmitted from the road, I will look for an internet friend residing in the town/county/city where the Long Marchers are staying, share the issues that the artists are facing on the road with the chatter, while inquiring the level of truthfulness of his/her identity and address submitted to ICQ at the same time.

On-Line Exhibition Procedure:
The map of the Long March will be shown on the web page updated accordingly as more information is transmitted. The accounts of ICQ chats are to be presented with the chatter's cartoon image on ICQ and personal information. A visitor can access this information by clicking the links on the map, browse through the accounts of previous and on-going conversations, and can also take part in the chatting session. The contents of the conversation will continue to be uploaded. The entire work consists of continuously evolving map/diary of ICQ conversation.

Future Exhibition:
Long strips of paper on top of which bare the conversations with every internet friend will be hang on the wall of the exhibition space. Every strip of paper shows the cartoon image of the chatter on ICQ as well as his/her personal information. I will take a seat at the center of the room, chatting with all the internet friends made during the Long March, simultaneously printing out the records of current conversations. An assistant will tape the newly printed ones to the ends of the ones already on the wall, thus every strip of paper will continue to get longer. Visitors to the exhibition can also take part in the chatting by either raising some questions to myself or directly typing in the questions on the computer.

My ICQ number is 27204482 (nickname: Long March).
