Digital direction & writing tutorial

  1. It’s interesting to see voice of words generating relevant images. However, if each icon has to be set with a trigger word, won’t it be endless work? Or if it’s an open platform, maybe users can upload icons and trigger words to expand the collection. However, it also requires endless reviews to control the quality? Otherwise, won’t it be too messy?
  2. I couldn’t relate the installation to sex till I was told there would be sexual sound in the headphone. However, I’m still not sure about the look of the sculpture. It’s hard for me to relate it to internal sexual organs. And for the projection of texts, I think it makes more sense if viewers can see the process of writing by the robot.
  3. I actually wonder what’s bad about classification. Does it change what we sense/perceive? Isn’t it just a way for people to communicate?

I’m always fascinated by artwork combined with electricity probably because I’m not able to do it and the interaction element gives artwork more vitality. All of them have done a lot of theory research, which I lack I think.

Advice from writing tutorial:

  • Always input my thoughts while talking about the practitioner’s work.
  • Compare the pieces of work and find the links.
  • Do more research on academic journals and books.
  • Include her influences.
  • Talk about how her work relates to other photographers/sits in the photography fields/movements at that time or before.

I had thought that my research on books was not enough and I would try to do it after this project as I have to focus on practice now.
