“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 INTELLIGIBLE 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 LIVING ONCE THEY COULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO ENJOY THE STUFF AROUND THEM IN A VISUAL ASPECT. THAT IS WHY I SHARE MY WAY TO APPRECIATE THE THINGS AROUND ME. THE PRIVATE COMPONENT SHOULD BE MY EXPERIENCE OF TRAVELING WHICH PROVIDE ME MORE THINGS THAT I COULD TAKE PICTURE WITH. AND MY AESTHETIC IS ALSO A PRIVATE STUFF BECAUSE PEOPLE CANNOT COPY AND PASTE MY AESTHETIC. THE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS ARE PUBLIC FOR SURE! THERE IS NO WAY TO REMAKE MY PROJECT! NO DAMN WAY!
