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 #3

  “BEETHOVEN’S DEAFNESS DESIGNATES THE LACK WHEREIN RESIDES ALL SIGNIFICATION; IT APPEALS TO A MUSIC THAT IS NOT ABSTRACT OR INWARD, BUT THAT IS ENDOWED, IF ONE MAY PUT IT LIKE THIS, WITH A TANGIBLE INTELLIGIBILITY, WITH THE INTELLIGIBL E AS TANGIBLE.” BARTHES (P. 152)   BEETHOVEN’S MUSIC IS OFTEN SEEN AS A REFLECTION OF HIS INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. HIS DEAFNESS, HOWEVER, FORCED HIM TO RELY ON HIS OTHER SENSES, PARTICULARLY HIS SENSE OF TOUCH AND VIBRATION, TO CREATE HIS MUSIC. HE WOULD OFTEN PLACE HIS HANDS ON THE PIANO OR ON THE WALLS OF HIS ROOM TO FEEL THE VIBRATIONS OF THE SOUND HE WAS CREATING. THIS ALLOWED HIM TO CREATE MUSIC THAT WAS NOT JUST AUDITORY, BUT THAT WAS ALSO TACTILE AND PHYSICAL.    AS FOR MY PROJECT, I SHARED MY PERSPECTIVE TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY IN OUR LIFE. IT COULD BE USED AS A TOOL HELP AUDIENCE FIND THE BEAUTY IN THEIR LIFE. BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ESSENCE OF LIVING IS TRYING TO ENJOY THE PROCESS OF IT, PEOPLE, MAYBE, CAN GET MORE PLEASURE FROM LIV

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. THE RESULT WAS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MOON BOOT AND HIGH-TOP, FEATURING AN ULTRA-EXTENDED TONG

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 DEFINITELY DERI VE DIFFERENT MEANIN
