「太平洋海盜」由台灣的書寫公廠(Writing FACTory)和墨西哥的RRD於2018年發起。《太平洋海盜 #3:烏托邦實驗》提出了以海洋為中心的思維,並重新思考海盜/盜版的當代意涵。
這幅壁畫採用了斯皮爾豪斯投影法(Spilhaus projection),強調了海洋間的相互連結,呈現出一個橫跨世界大陸的東西向連綿海洋。在這個視角下,因殖民歷史共享了許多相似文化表現的台灣和墨西哥被置於同一平面上。壁畫上的影片中,包含對台灣和墨西哥的歷史學家、研究者、非政府組織工作者及盜版商的訪談。在此,海盜被視為一種強大的另類自我組織模式,以及另一種更公平的資訊傳播方法。
除了在釜山現代美術館的展出外,本計畫也參與2024釜山雙年展的特別公眾項目,在定期往返於釜山及大阪的郵輪Panstar上展出過往的盜版片影像募集計畫。

Pacific Pirate was initiated by Writing FACTory from Taiwan and RRD from Mexico in 2018. Pacific Pirate #3: Utopia Experiments (2018-ongoing) proposes ocean-centric thinking, and a revised understanding of piracy. Using the Spilhaus projection which emphasises the interconnection of water-masses, the mural features a continuous east-west ocean spanning the world’s continents. Here the collaborators’ home countries, Taiwan and Mexico share the same plane; colonial histories ensure they also share many cultural expressions. The video shows interviews with historians, researchers, NGO workers, and pirates from Taiwan and Mexico. Piracy emerges as a powerful alternative model of self-organisation, and more equitable information distribution.
In addition to the exhibition at the Busan Museum of Art, this project also participates in the special public program of the Busan Biennale 2024. It has showcased past pirate video open call projects on the Panstar cruise, which regularly travels between Busan and Osaka.
