Addressing the (Currently) Covert Connection After extensive research and analysis on prominent positions in other practices (Written Component 2) and bridging connection with my emerging position, it was pointed out that, from the readers’ perspectives, the elaborated position does not yet frame the iterative studio practice I have committed to. The practice consists of interrogating… Continue reading Written Component 3

Some Reflection U2’s studio practice started ambitiously, embracing a classical position of idealism––commencing a studio practice aiming to evoke the imagination for alternative possibilities of what constitutes eudaimonia––the good, secular life worth pursuing.  My vision of the to-be-challenged status quo consists of the visual and interactional stimuli excess––the practices which strive to please and coddle… Continue reading Written Component 2

Following the starting position identified in the last entry, one studio practice piece is this mass-participation poetry, to experiment with the concept of interaction, also to observe aspects such as health and maintanence of cyber communities. Link here, and participations welcome. As this haiku organically grows, I decide to rewrite the prompt, into a more… Continue reading U2 W4 Position/Brief/Prompt Review, and new Practice

100 Screenshots: a reflection The 100 screenshots warm-up exercise took a kinetic start – actions were swiftly taken without questioning their values and meanings, nor allowed over-conceptualisation (my hopeless habit) to halt this supposedly nimble and light-footed iteration exercise. The snippet from Elaborate to kick start this exercise is one rather randomly chosen image in… Continue reading Written Component 1

Earlier draft Is an ecclectic collection of thoughts and any flow of mind surrounding the 100 Screenshot exercise (a few surface-scratching ideas iterated rather superficially, due to demanding client taking up bandwidth). This piece of writing takes more of a descriptive approach, about what was actually going on in the 100 screenshots. link to the… Continue reading U2 W3 briefing

The iteration upon the small clip produced last week focuses more on personal engagement – especially when the collection of materials have such a strong personal connection. Brief: explore this personal collection of materials through making new things out of them The image itself comes from Jan 01, 2019, during a family dayout driving through… Continue reading U2 W2 pre-tutorial

Today, the practice documented in the previous entry was presented to the group, alongside with the Elaborate project from Spring Term. Here are some feedbacks: the process of generating the 100 screenshots was a simple and straight-forward computer command, and the decision making towards further iterations could do with more active engagement / original input,… Continue reading U2 W1 post-tutorial

100 screengrab exercise – just what we need to warm up after a stagnant spring break. The brief is aiming at getting us started without pondering over ‘meaning’ or ‘value’ for the entire Iterate & Position brief. The decision anxiety was discussed at the F205 session – the fear and indecisiveness to set our first… Continue reading U2 W1 pre-tutorial

Although a consistent and concise documentation of Unit 1 practice will definitely helpful, I am starting to feel that it’s rather redundant to lay down everything here, a repetition of what I have elaborated during the tutorials here. This also contributed to my slackful attitude towards keeping this space updated – as an honest confession.… Continue reading Some Reflection and Confession
