[PSEAD]Friday, London, Southbank, raining day

Milliennium Bridge

To London, I always have a  expect image about this city, history, art, culture, Sherlock and Thames River, this is my third time to London and first time so close to Thames.

Walk through Southbank, under London Bridge, there have two different museum located there, Design Museum and Tate Modern, design one and art one.

Design Museum

Design museum display a lot of product, designed stuff, media, technology around our life, you can see the newest invent and idea of this world, something interesting, creatively, and disable helpful.

Tate Modern

The Tate Morden collect more fine art work, a lot of gallery to show different art topic, and the wonderful thing is the amazing interior, clean but atmosphere, the route between these two museum with wonderful river scene, and in my opinion, the most English thing in that day is the lightly rain.

[PSEAD] be a maker

Nowadays people own a lot of knowledge from books, website and everywhere, knowledge become easy to get, but people forget to create to think to invent events from regular life.

The documentary 'maker' told people how interesting and important for make something by yourself, they said maker movement is third industrial revolution, the revolution can change the world again.

The film encourage  people make new things by tools, means you have to create by hands, I think it's can really inspired people to consider how and what methods to solve problems we have.

Because when you try to make some device to improve the world, you will find more opportunity and more idea of the process and methods, this is a sense of create value, to develop material and technique.

[PSEAD]project about bridge culture (project 7.2)

This project ask us to think about 'Linking'.

Linking different people and culture is a difficult topic, we have to thinking what cause those problem and make them visible, first we tried to use 'language' to be our topic, we wanna raise that different language should not stop people connect each other.

[PSEAD]Ai-WeiWei Never say sorry

'We have a lot of cats and dogs, out of the 40 cats, one know how to open doors, if I never meet this cat that can open doors, I would never know cats could open doors.' - Ai-WeiWei
我們養了很多狗和貓，40隻狗裡面，有一隻會開門，如果我從未見過那隻貓開門，我永遠不會知道貓還會開門。 -艾未未

This sentence really inspires me, I think it was talked the situation about civil rights activist in the People's Republic of China, In my opinion, contemporary China civil rights like a door that never be opened, so people do not know the door is can be opened and why they should do it.
這句話讓我印象非常深刻，我認為這句話描繪了人權運動在中國的處境，當代中國人權自由在某種程度上就像一扇不曾開過的門，所以人們不會知道這扇門是可以開的，更不會去想為什麼需要開這扇門。

[PSEAD] The Dream of Ghiberti's Door

Today I visit a special exhibition by foundation students in UCA, one of these artworks is a animation film named 'The Dream of Ghiberti's Door' by Verdiana Pagnano from Florence. This animation use hundreds picture to make entire video to describe a part of story from Old Testament  that also try to convey the Italia culture of Renaissance period.

[PSEAD] Oxford, MOMA

This summer I visited Oxford, one of the famous city in the UK, when I walked through the Cornmarket street I am very inspired the energetic of this city that full of university and a lot of historical building with culture, I stop in the Modern Museum Oxford, a well-known contemporary art museum, it is not big like ‘Ashmolean Museum’ and with great architecture style like ‘Pitt Rivers Museum’, it just a space hide in alley.

I think this kind of building type is a representative of contemporary art, not great but regular like normal life, it is a sort of art without fancy art skill but load various meaning to convey information to describe this contemporary society.

[PSEAD] Lost and Create

If you wanna find a way, you must lost it first.

We have already built plenty of ability and personality in the period of our grown up time, these capable of ability achieve what we are, but some times we own a lot and can not accept more, in fact, the reason is that our opinion and belief limited our view and what we can explore.

[PSEAD]Cube with Bio Printed Ear Scaffold

Figure 1"Cube with Bio Printed Ear Scaffold" by American artist Lynn Hershman Leeson (born 1941), picture by Jevons

The loneliest thing is not along, but no one heard you in the crowd

This artworks called "Cube with Bio Printed Ear Scaffold" by American artist Lynn Hershman Leeson (born 1941), It is made by acrylic(ear model) and ABS plastic(cube), the exterior is 4 x 4 x 4 inches (10.16 x 10.16 x 10.16 cm)

Contemporary art is hard to be accept in art world, some people think what she do is not really art at all, her project doesn't use traditional skill like painting but new generation media try to convey more information about social commentary, particularly on the relationship between people and technology.

She emphasize the interactive with audience, people can find the meaning from her works by moving image, drawing, collage, text-based work, site-specific interventions, and later new media / digital technologies.

[PSEAD]Art School confidential (review)

I think it's all about love. the lost mind love

Jerome is a art student with strong talent but can't be agree by other people, it's doesn't matter actually, art is art it is full of personal characteristics, not like design should be suit for user and owner, all you have to do is convey your spirits into artworks and someone will agree your creative that's all.

But Jerome wanna show off his ability for Audrey so he change his art style that could be a part of him, try to make more attention from public, that make him lost, unnecessary lost.

Finally, people didn't pay attention to him by his art work, but his crime behavior or we can say, his art achievement is base on his well know deeds - murder suspect.

Or we can regarded the whole event to a behavior art by Jerome's love?

What is architecture?


This question usually confuse me even when I finish my BA interior design and MA architecture, in my opinion, the overview of architecture maybe "metadata" of building, it is a explain for building not just a space be designed by architect or designer.
