I covered my eyes with cloth, and I understooed a new space by touch first. In the touching process, I felt by my hands a number of things that I would not notice by vision generally. For instance, there were 2 frames on the wall. One was smooth wooden surface, and the other was uneven complex surface. And I supposed that I would not pay attention to this kind of details by my eyes.<br /></div>Vickyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04566004833092319601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469280010092019501.post-31637707360864032962010-02-16T10:38:00.000-08:002010-02-16T10:59:10.726-08:00Vision and the other sensesGenerally, vision are over the other senses, which is considered to be the noblest among our senses. But now we've paid too much attention on visual journey. While "man has not always been dominated by vision." As Lucien Febvre's said, "The sixteenth century did not see first, it heard and smelled... It was then that vision was unleashed in the world of science as it was in the world of physical sensations, and the world of beauty as well." . And it is also provided by 42 Robert Mandrou that "the hierarchy (of the senses) was not the same (as in the twentieth century) because the eye, which rules today, found itself in third place, behind hearing and touch, and far after them.".<br /><br />These two pictures below is about the suppression of vision-- the fusion of vision and tactillity.<br /><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 313px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438917186090955442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcjyU3dh1HFv4kttwQKA07CIlx3CgDYfWGTLp5ttjZR2DDamudzTfbN1H5q7bQ5PbfTEC5-wHLCUdA2IyUIFAfWBG03DlrqbYXHsVZ_kJXef8y2MK3KQgOkoGsKo3ciBRL95KmS0qYVmT8/s320/%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%875.jpg" />" In heightened emotional states and deep thought, vision id usually repressed."<br /><div>Rene Magritte, The Lovers, 1928.

Turing to the main side, a ramp leaded to the inside of the box, the darkness. At first, it was truth that I cannot see anything. Later I could see some black figures around me and that was the other vistors. It was so terrifying to face the unknown. But with the trust in the organisation, I kept walking slowly until I touched the innermost wall. And I enjoyed listening to the footsteps or voices or applause in my walking process, which, for me, enriched the original simple interior space and made the black box alive! Furthermore, when I touched the material of the wall, I was so surprised that it was like velvet, soft and furry. Because I had thought it was just cold metal. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>There are 2 main reasons I admire Balka Box. First, the work is only complete when the viewer enter. That is to say, HOW IT IS places emphasis on interactive behavior. In addition, the interior looks simplified. But what it brings, such as the darkness, the echo, the feelings from the material of the wall, withhold the people( I don't know if the verb is right or not, I wanna describe a kind of effect), both physically and psychologically. He chose to show the back side first to the viewers, and made a enough height for people to go underneath it. So not only the one who is in the box, but also the one who is surrounding the box, people could all join in the exhibition and have different reactions. </div>Vickyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04566004833092319601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469280010092019501.post-49028920549423128192009-12-06T11:57:00.000-08:002009-12-06T13:16:55.583-08:00A short film about my project<p></p><p>A short film which I did last week. I appologize for the shaking scence and the not very professional model, for that was my first film actually. </p><p>In that film, I tried to use sound and light as the "space clue". It was like a conversation between people and the space. First, the space showed something to people, and then people would give the reaction which probably was to find out what happened exactly or what the space looked like. For example, the sound of the water in the film was not only one type, but it included the sound of fourtain spring and the sound of running water, which made people to think about and to understand the space gradually. </p><p>In addition, the second part of the film which I wanted to make a trick in the space, means that those clues sometimes are not the right thing to the truth, maybe they could lie to people. But I am not sure that the "desert thing" is a good idea or not.</p><p>What I wanna do next, as I said on Friday afternoon, is to find a real site first, and to make a formal model with thoughtful materials, and probaly film it again.</p><p>And I really really wanna hear some suggestions or opinions about this film which is really really important to me!</p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxZ8P_F1TsmEkQYaLrxyHg4Hl5UAiPKCN0trOCyrhtzLoJX4mhUpLFKKJyIaOBgFO_iAwFUB1DO68R9MngW4w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Vickyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04566004833092319601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469280010092019501.post-37193080535642959732009-11-17T13:38:00.000-08:002009-11-17T15:14:49.218-08:00Today I went to school to buy some materials for my model. And I got a little bit conversation with several classmates about their work. Zu who is in Group A (wish I write the right name, if not, please forgive me~~) did a really "big" model which scale was aroud 1m*1m*?m. I didn't see that with my own eyes, and he described me his main installation of the model: there were several boxes with different colour powder inside, and people could walk into them and come out on the corridor, so that there would be different footprints mixed together in the public area of his model. From his description, I really feel a strong sense of interaction between audience and the model, which is benefit to the project as it is a direct way of communication I suppose.<br /><br />In addition, I met Phil (who is in Group C) in our square where he was dealing with his project. He let the passerby to do the "drop" on his clothes which were hung up with a rope. And that is also a kind of cooperation between audience and the project, which is quite interesting.<br /><br />Therefore, I plan to pay attention to this idea to my project, to make the model more alive. To be honest, that was my thought before as well. Because it's kind of fascinating to me to research people's reaction in a space which needs to be discovered. Last time I just tried to take the model photos from people's viewpoint. Now I gonna try to put some figures into the photos, to strengthen the relation between people and my space.Vickyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04566004833092319601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469280010092019501.post-23719949926829265872009-11-14T15:36:00.000-08:002009-11-14T16:29:42.974-08:00<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 233px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404112309900566818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuECpcAI22qt3ZipbH06EYN_j0EYzfUFtgTHIa4mhzrwGJSm6S8S5LXO93Whyphenhyphen9e20Bkq4G_LaxBg7CqixDNNWIMpxuc6BtaDMqleVVCscQlT2TuaO9pCUHfNwmzceNge-u8a7zv1Xgik7t/s320/Claude_Monet_-_Water-Lilies_%2528Bridgestone_Museumxiao.jpg" /><br /><div>After the trip of National Gallery, I changed my painting choice to the Water Lilies by Claude Monet in around 1907. On this painting, I could receive the direct message about water lilies, meanwhile, it displays some clues about the enviroment around. From the colour of the water, it tells that the painting time might be in the sunset. In addition, the green inverted image reveals the landscape would be on the riverbank. So we could image the whole scene around from the reflection, which would be my main support of using pieces of mirror in the model.</div><div> </div><div>And then suddenly I had a new idea: the clues in the jounery of discovery could be helpful for people to know the things well, but sometimes they might lie to people, might be a misguided impression of the truth. So I planed to do some trick by the reflection in the model. I haven't finished that yet, still try some experimental situation to enrich the space.</div><div> </div><div>What's more, one scene in the film Stalker on Friday was impressive to me. That is when the three leading roles are escaping from the bullets, passing through a river. The shot remains on the river for a while, nobody is in that scene. So the audience may get the story from the reflection in the water first, and the bullets hit into the river, and then from the water wave and the sound we could feel the three men wade through the river. In the whole process, we couldn't see anyone directly, but we know the story quite well just from a camera shot on the water. I think it is very interesting way to discover something, and I hope to learn the idea as a source of reference in my project in the future. </div>Vickyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04566004833092319601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469280010092019501.post-82352206413523810112009-11-06T13:41:00.000-08:002009-11-06T14:08:08.886-08:00the Start<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Today is the first tutorial of my MA study, which was quite helpful for my project! I really like the type of group discussion to show the work to the others and collect the feed backs from different people. Before that, I was wondering if I had already done something good or not, and I was not quite sure about what I would do next. Thanks to some useful advises from my dear teacher and dear classmates, the work would develop along the right lines again now.</span> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 296px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401115129789258578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghmHLCvOb1sPPczKBfuhfA7Mgb7dvFeJrU4QIyKbgneG9A4F5QrukVMkQRquKy8XVv3zt9JCrtQOeDrracJhMWdJX7_6q41e0K0T-oim3AxYbuXSILBBFpX60SLN5s6UHNEbMuYyXCkpAR/s320/f_.jpg" /> <div><div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Tonight is the Film Friday Night in my dorm, which was exciting and interesting. We made the watching-film plan in every Friday nights to share good films together. Peple in my dorm have different backgrounds and different majoring in our university, so different opinions would be come up during the process, which is very nice. Today we watched a documentary called "The September Issue" which is about Anna Wintour and the making of VOGUE. To be honest, for the dazed amazing images were coming into my eyes all the time, I didn't focus on all the conversations and stories in that film. It was just so fantastic about every fashion work, and it was really difficult to develop work to be more brilliant. And so does the other design.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">This weekend, I'm gonna go back to painting research and go to some galleries to find what I want for my project. So, good luck to me~~~</span></div></div></div>Vickyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04566004833092319601noreply@blogger.com1
