The artist group announced an international short film competition on the Internet. A top-class jury of media artists, critics and curators from China selected a program and the award winners from the entries. In 2014, the video program was presented again in its entirety in the exhibition "The 8 of Ways" in the Uferhallen as part of the city partnership between Beijing and Berlin.
