We were the first group to present our manifesto. Regarding to the presentation, I think we did it well. Here is our first draft of the zine: And it’s our presentation: Some members’ work were particularly questioned, which I thought really made sense. We do have to have a reason for every element in ourContinue reading “Manifesto presentation”

So we managed to print two drafts and then nightmare began. We spent five hours trying to print 2-sided again but it just did not work! Because we set the indesign pages the order of reading, we could only print booklet directly from the file. We couldn’t save it to USB which could be setContinue reading “I HATE THE PRINTERS”

Finally did laser cutting induction and it was amazing. The movement of the laser just creeped me out… Was amazed by how it should work so efficiently and accurately… Like a crazy robot. Hope it would be involved with a project one day. We finally put our pages together and we’ll print it tomorrow. HopeContinue reading “Laser cutting induction & zine planning”

Had a great tutorial with Nathan which is really helpful with my reflection for the manifesto. I’m amazed by how well language can be used to express the deepest thought in one’s conscious and how writing can help push one to dig and capture all the little thoughts that are often ignored or taken forContinue reading “Writing tutorial with Nathan & Group discussion on zine”

We had a one-hour group tutorial with Julian today. We each showed our individual work. Julian suggested me to add sound to the slides but I’m not sure what to add. I may think further after I finish writing the reflection I’m going to show Nathan tomorrow. We confirmed again that we’re going to showContinue reading “Group tutorial”

My intention was to get layered images with blurry movements through multiple/long exposure. It didn’t work with projection and white clothes. Here is what we tried with Sam: Multiple exposure (dark) without flash + whiteContinue reading “Individual work & podcast & tutorial & lecture”

Talked with Anna about my 3 ideas. For texts making, Anna pointed out that if I just asked someone to do laser cutting for me, I would not learn anything. So I think I’ll try t find a store where I can take part in the laser cutting process. Otherwise, I could only ask aContinue reading “Negotiated learning & Podcast tutorial”

I’ve only done photography before so it will be my first time to try installation and text making. INSTALLATION An image of the model smiling projected on crumpled and teared background paper strips (white + green + black), with a board manually / fan blowing the paper strips. Filmed and photograph with different color filters.Continue reading “Installation plan for next Tues. & text idea”

It is really hard to manage the time as the resource store is only open on Tues…. Hope I can collect the equipments and finish shooting at Capture Studio next Tues. I feel quite nervous as I have never tried multiple/long exposure, projection or speedlite before… Also model-involved shooting always makes me somehow worry aboutContinue reading “Shooting plan for next Tues.”
