Out of Now : The Lifeworks of Tehching Hsieh
No full text"Between September 1978 and July 1986, Hsieh realized five separate one-year-long performance pieces in which he conformed to simple but highly restrictive rules throughout each entire year.
Through the course of these lifeworks, Hsieh moved from a year of solitary confinement in a sealed cell to a year in which he punched a worker’s time clock in his studio every hour on the hour to a year spent living without shelter in Manhattan to a year in which he was tied by an eight-foot rope to the artist Linda Montano and finally to a year of total abstention from all art activities and influences. In 1986 Hsieh announced that he would spend the next thirteen years making art but not showing it publicly. When this “final” lifework—an immense act of self-affirmation and self-erasure—came to a close at the turn of the millennium, he tersely and enigmatically said that during this time he had simply kept himself alive.
After years of near-invisibility, Hsieh collaborated with the British writer and curator Adrian Heathfield to create this meticulous and visually arresting documentary record of the complete body of Tehching Hsieh’s performance projects from 1978 to 1999." -- Publisher's website

No full textLate Holocene environment of subalpine northeastern Taiwan from pollen and diatom analysis of lake sediments
No full textWe used multi-decadal pollen and diatom records from sediment core TFL-1 from Tsuifong Lake to reconstruct the vegetation dynamics and hydroclimate in northeastern Taiwan during the past 3500 cal BP. Coarse grained sediments in association with higher percentages of wetland pollen (Cyperaceae) and upper conifer pollen (Tsuga and Pinus) in the lower part of the core indicate low lake levels and a relatively cold/dry climate between 3500 and 2030 cal BP, reflecting a decline of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). Muddy sediments coupled with reduction of wetland pollen represent the rise of lake levels, implying the re-strengthening of the EASM during the past 2000 years. Paleotemperature was inferred from the variation of pollen origin from the upper and lower mountain forest, indicating the global temperature anomalies of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). In comparison to the main climate forces in the North Pacific, we suggest that the long-term climatic trend in Taiwan was controlled by variations in EASM intensity, while increased precipitation over the past 2000 years may also be linked to warmer sea surface temperature (SST) of the western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) and increased El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, which increased typhoon intensity. Higher diatom-inferred pH during 2930-2030 cal BP and the LIA suggest strong hydrological disturbances, reflecting more typhoons passing over Taiwan. The frequent typhoon events could be linked by an abrupt shift of typhoon track, due to the reduction of the WPWP and expansion of the Northwestern Pacific High, which move typhoons in a more westerly direction.
