「生產(中)的藝術2：姚立群＋區秀詒」啟發自熟悉的馬來西亞觀光局推廣的官方口號：「Malaysia Truly Asia」（馬來西亞，真正亞洲），這裡所謂的「真正亞洲」是指什麼？2016年四月數位荒原推出豪華跨國組合：牯嶺街小劇場的姚立群館長與馬來西亞藝術家區秀詒。兩人將以接力／問答／脫口秀／照片簡報方式，以真實的吉隆坡「百代照相館」為中心，沿途探勘是否可能釐清一種「真正的」亞洲面貌。這一路鋪陳的「製圖」（mapping）所涉及的關鍵詞，還包括軍警、國安相關法令、戲院街、歌手華怡保、新村等諸多歷史的後場；最後一路展開的旅程能否折返回自身？（編按：〈百代照相館〉也是2015年牯嶺街小劇場舉行的區秀詒個展《居所與他方：影像測量計劃》其中一件作品，該展由策展人郭昭蘭所策畫，也是「EX!T 6 第六屆台灣國際實驗媒體藝術展」的唯一項目。）
