UPDATE2#

HERE AS I PROMISED IN PROJECT UPDATE NO1, I WENT TO THE ART GALLERY MILWAUKEE TO GATHER SOME INSPIRATION AND THE MATERIAL FOR MY PHOTOSTREAM. THERE ARE SOME REALLY THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND INTERESTING ARTWORKS THAT STIMULATE MY IDEA OF CREATING AN ALBUM, IN WHICH TO POST UP SOME PICTURES I TOOK IN THE GALLERY (NOT ONLY THE ART GALLERY MILWAUKEE). AT THIS MOMENT, I HAD FINISHED UP POSTING THE GALLERY ALBUM, IN WHICH INCLUDED IN THE ARTWORKS IN THE TORONTO ART GALLERY AND SOME OF THE SIDE ART PRODUCTS I HAVE IN MY LIFE. 

I BELIEVE IN THE CYCLIC “RESURRECTION OF DIFFERENCE”, BECAUSE FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THE WORLD IS CHANGING, AND EVERYTHING IS DEVELOPED TOWARDS ITS OWN DIRECTION, HOWEVER, EVERYTHING MUTUAL RESTRAIN EACH OTHER THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT. AND THE DIFFERENCE OCCURS WHEN THINGS DEVELOPED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS BUT DUE TO THE MUTUAL RESTRAIN, THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIFFERENCE WILL STOP AT THE PEAK, AND DEVELOP TOWARD THE WAY BACKWARD. THEN, STOP AT THE PEAK AND DEVELOP TOWARD THE WAY FORWARD. THIS PROCESS WILL CYCLE AGAIN AND AGAIN. THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE CYCLIC RESURRECTION OF DIFFERENCE. 

 

MY PROJECT IMPACT ON THE CONCEPT OF DIFFERENCE IS THROUGH CREATING THE DIFFERENT ALBUMS TO CATEGORIZE THE DIFFERENT THEMES OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE VARIETY OF LOCATIONS I TOOK THE PICTURE CREATE THE DIFFERENCE.  MY PROJECT INCLUDED THE PHOTO IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, CULTURES, AND SOCIETIES; THOSE HUGE CULTURAL AND POLITICAL BACKGROUNDS CREATE THE ELEMENT OF “DIFFERENCE”. 

 

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MY PROJECT AND THE BOOK IS THAT THE QUOTE SAID: “EVERYTHING IS METAMORPHOSED INTO ITS INVERSE IN ORDER TO BE PERPETUATED IN ITS PURGED FORM.” WHEN I READ ABOUT THIS, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS INDICATING THE MECHANISM THAT THE CAMERA WORKS, AND IT COULD BE UNDERSTOOD AS THINGS SHOULD BE SHOT BY THE CAMERA AND THE PHOTO WOULD LAST FOREVER (AT LEAST LONG THAT THE PRODUCT ITSELF). I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE WEIRD, BUT I FIND THAT IS INTERESTING. 

 

I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS ANT CERTAIN CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER MY PROJECT, BUT SOME FORMAL ANALYSIS SKILLS WILL HELP ME UNDERSTAND MY PROJECT BETTER.

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.  ...

PROJECT PROPOSAL

            FOR THE ADVANCED NEW MEDIA IN ART SPRING TERM 2023, I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PEOPLE MY AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE TO APPRECIATE THIS WORLD THROUGH THE LENS OF MY IPHONE. ALL MY WORK IN THIS 10-WEEK PERIOD WILL BE UPLOADED ON THE FLICKER FINALLY; AND I WILL SORT THEM OFF INTO 10 ALBUMS, WHICH MEANS 1 ALBUM PER WEEK. IN EACH ALBUM, THERE SHOULD BE AROUND 5-10 PHOTOGRAPHS. ALSO, I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE A BIG THICK PHOTO BOOK THROUGH THE BOOKWRIGHT WITH THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT I TOOK THIS TERM. THE BOOK SHOULD BE AROUND 50-80 PAGES, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON  HOW MANY PHOTOS I AM SATISFIED WITH. BUT THE PAGE NUMBERS WILL BE AROUND THAT AMOUNT. FOR THE REFERENCE ARTIST, I WOULD SAY THERE IS NO ONE THAT I AM MIMICKING, LIKE I SAID I AM PROVIDING PEOPLE MY PERSPECTIVE IN MY WAY IN MY STYLE. BUT IF I NEED TO SAY ONE, THAT MAY BE ANDY WARHOL SINCE I ENJOYED HIS PHOTOGRAPHY A LOT IN THE PAST AND HAVE SEEN TONS OF HIS WORK BEFORE, MAYBE YOU WILL FIND SOM...
