I’m still very impressed and a big fan of Niko’s work. It’s crazy how effective he is producing work, although I have a hard time understanding most of it… I’m still a bit confused about Nathan’s reaction to one piece of his work. I understand that it can be inappropriate to approach a serious subjectContinue reading “CRITS”

Most people had produced more and better work than previous projects, which brought me so much pressure… I feel I don’t have enough work both in quantity and quality although I’d say I have tried my best. I’m especially struggling with the discussion about openness and closeness, and potential possibilities of an artwork. I thinkContinue reading “CRITS”

Remembering Chalkie asked me what would be my fix for the emptiness at the critique, and I answered connection to other human beings. Then I thought that the first thing I would attempt to do was to talk toContinue reading “Shooting Plan 2”

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?Continue reading “Digital direction & writing tutorial”

To my point of bed is where we don’t interact with the outside world consciously, Nathan said to him bed’s where he thought/worried, even in dreams, we were pulling from our life. I did have considered that we might still be thinking/interacting with the outside world in dreams, however, I still think that’s unconscious andContinue reading “Interim Crit”
