UPDATE1#

BY NOW, I HAD ALREADY UPLOADED AROUND 80 PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE FLICKER SITE AND CATEGORIZED THEM INTO 4 ALBUMS: JAPAN, CHINESE PEOPLE IN CHINESE EYES, MONOTONOUS, AND ARCHITECTURE. I GET REALLY INSPIRED BY A QUOTE IN THE BOOK THAT “ABSTRACTION TODAY IS NO LONGER THAT OF THE MAP, THE DOUBLE, THE MIRROR, OR THE CONCEPT. SIMULATION IS NO LONGER THAT OF A TERRITORY, A REFERENTIAL BEING, OR A SUBSTANCE. IT IS THE GENERATION BY MODELS OF A REAL WITHOUT ORIGIN OR REALITY: HYPERREAL.” THIS QUOTE GIVES ME AN IDEA THAT THINGS COULD JUMP OUT OF THE BOUNDARY THEY SHOULD HAVE. BASED ON THIS IDEA I REAFFIRM MY THOUGHT THAT USING THE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM A LOT OF PLACES IN THIS WORLD AND FINALLY PROVIDE THE FINAL PROJECT AS AN ABSTRACT WORLD TOUR. I BRING THE VIEWER TO THE PLACE I TOOK THE PHOTOGRAPH AND LET THEM SEE THOSE PLACES. I CONSIDER THIS PROCESS LIKE TAKING AN ABSTRACT JOURNEY.  LATER ON, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A TRIP TO THE ART GALLERY MILWAUKEE TO SEE THE ART EXHIBITION GET SOME INSPIRATION, AND TAKE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS, AND ALSO, I SHOULD UPLOAD SOME PHOTOGRAPHS I TOOK IN VANCOUVER TO ENRICH THE VARIETY OF PLACES I COULD TAKE THE VIEWER “TRAVEL” TO. THOSE PICTURES ARE STILL IN PROGRESS OF EDITING.

PROJECT #2

  THE ROLE OF AUTHORSHIP IS THAT PEOPLE COULD TELL “HELL YEAH THAT’S BOWEN’S WORK!” BECAUSE THERE IS MY SOUL, MY STYLE, AND EVEN MY EXPERIENCE IN MY WORK. MY WORK EQUALS TO MY NAME IN SOME ASPECTS. OF COURSE, I CONSIDER MY WORK ORIGINAL, BECAUSE I EXERCISE MY AESTHETIC BY READING A HUGE VARIETY OF WORKS, WHICH ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT KINDS OF STYLES. THEN I  COME UP WITH MY OWN STUFF. WHEN THE AUDIENCE LOOK AT MY WORK, THEY COULD ONLY TELL OH THAT ARTWORK LOOKED A LITTLE BIT LIKE BLABLABLA’S WORK, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT LIKE DLADLADLA’S WORK. BUT FUCK NO, IT IS JUST L I K E, THAT STYLE IS BOWEN’S STYLE MY ORIGINAL SHIT.      EVERYONE WHO STARES AT MY WORK FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES COULD “TAKE POSSESSION” OF MY WORK AND DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT. I THINK WHEN THE AUDIENCE GET THE BEAUTY OF MY STUFF, AT THAT MOMENT, THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF IT. AND THEY COULD ALSO DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES OF LIFE COULD DEFINI...

FINAL PROJECT REPORT

  MY PROJECT THIS TERM IS CONTINUALLY WORKING ON SHARING WITH THE AUDIENCE MY PERSPECTIVE OF APPRECIATING THIS WORLD VIA DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. THE WHOLE PROJECT IS AN EXTENSION OF THE FLICKER POST I HAVE DONE LAST YEAR. IN THIS PROJECT, I ADDED 230 PHOTOS TO MY PHOTO STREAM. MOST OF THEM WERE TAKEN DURING MY TRAVELING ALL AROUND THE WORLD; WHAT I AM DOING CURRENTLY WAS EDITING AND POSTING. ALSO, OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME PICS THAT I TOOK DURING THIS TERM. AMONG ALL THE PHOTOS, SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN SORTED OUT INTO THE EXISTING ALBUMS, BUT ALSO SOME ARE ADDED INTO THE NEW ALBUMS, WHICH HAVE BEEN TITLED CREATIVELY. HERE IS THE BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE NEWLY ADDED ALBUMS.  THE SHOW! THERE ARE TWO BIG EVENTS THAT HAPPENED IN THIS TERM: THE  VOODIS  FASHION SHOW AND THE SENIOR SHOW. I SHOWED UP MY WORK IN BOTH TWO FASHION/ART SHOWS AND THERE ARE SOME FANTASTIC MOMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY MY LENSES. IN THIS ALBUM, THERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF ME AND MY MODELS.  ...

RICK OWENS

RICK OWENS IS AN AMERICAN-BORN DESIGNER LIVING IN PARIS, KNOWN FOR HIS ABSTRACT, YET APPROACHABLE AVANT-GARDE DESIGNS. BORN RICHARD SATURNINO OWENS, HE BEGAN HIS LABEL IN CALIFORNIA IN 1994 AND NOW OVERSEES A VERITABLE FASHION EMPIRE FROM A FIVE-STORY COMPOUND IN PARIS. IF THERE'S ONE CHARACTERISTIC THAT HAS DEFINED HIS LIFE, IT HAS BEEN OWENS' FIERCE INDEPENDENCE. HIS ECCENTRIC BRUTALIST APPROACH IS EVIDENT IN HIS FASHION, HIS FURNITURE, AND EVEN HIS PERSONAL LIFE.                                          RICK'S REPRESENTATIVE ABSTRACT FASHION DESIGN: THE FIRST GENERATION GEOBASKET INITIALLY INTRODUCED IN FALL/WINTER 2006'S "DUSTULATOR" COLLECTION, RICK OWENS DESIGNED THE GEOBASKET BECAUSE HE FELT THAT ATHLETIC SHOES WERE SIMPLY TOO "PROSAIC." PULLING ELEMENTS FROM NIKE, ADIDAS AND PUMA, OWENS WAS ATTEMPTING TO—IN HIS WORDS—CREATE MONSTER TRUCKS FOR HIS FEET. T...
