Forkonomy() - How can one buy or own a millilitre of the South China Sea? - Winnie Soon & Tzu-Tung Lee
Forkonomy() is an art and activist project that critically explores sovereignty and ownership through a speculative question: can one buy or own a millilitre of the South China Sea? Despite being one of the world’s busiest waterways for international trade, the South China Sea is also among the most contested, with overlapping territorial claims from China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and others. These competing claims over its rocks, reefs, and undersea resources make the oceanic space not just geographically significant, but also economically, militarily, and politically charged.
In the exhibition Unsettling the Algorithm: Seeds of Resistance, Winnie Soon and Tzu Tung Lee present a Forkonomy() meditation guide that invites audiences to reflect on the underlying tensions of the sea. Accompanying this are video documentations of the artists' symbolic act of "pirating" water from the South China Sea. A printed digital contract registered on the blockchain is also displayed, further emphasizing the work's engagement with contemporary issues of ownership and legality.
These are the sources to produce the meditation audio in Forkonomy():

How to buy/own/mint one millilitre of the ocean from the South China Sea? (guided by such a speculative question that takes the figurative and pirated material— the South China Sea as our object of study)
