If memory were a theater, would the stage be lit up by happiness or sorrow? If memories could be excavated like archaeology, would we be willing to explore the past and present or the remnants from countless light-years ago? Should we pick them up or ignore them?
In 2024, at the Small Black Box Immersive Theater of the National Taiwan Science Education Center, Ming Baï Lab will continue their creative context, presenting a new chapter titled "Archaeology of Wonderland," exploring the fractures and traces of repair in historical memory through nature, archaeology, and nostalgic amusement.
This program traces back to childhood memories of the Movie Center and Children's Amusement Park in Taipei. "Why do humans desire to fly?" … "Why did father leave?" It combines interdisciplinary documentary footage and wearable sound devices, treating Chat GPT as a technological confessional. Through cross-regional physical actions, it embarks on a flight of scientific and emotional contemplation in the "Pterodactyl Skyscraper Theater" with the journey towards “The Archaeology of Wonderland”.

Ming Baï Lab
Ming-Chieh LEE and Baï LEE are a duo of choreographers and video artists. The duo has been co-creating with a “body⇄image” text, in which they seek to explore the ingenious overlap between their life regrets and the historical field through moving in fieldwork.
Their collaborative art projects "Hey! Where to Stop Along the Way?“ - Image Choreography Exhibition (2021) and "Summer Toaster" (2022) were nominated for the 20th and 21st Taishin Arts Awards respectively. In 2023, the establishment of Ming Baï Lab presented the self-curated and performance and space based theatrical series of work "Over the Trouble Waters," featuring four different types of performances over a three-week period. The judges commented on the "possibility of interdisciplinary exhibition of contemporary art in Taiwan and the opening of a new perspective on micro-curation," awarding them the Special Prize of the Taipei Fringe Festival in 2023.
