妹妹 我口中的妹妹
讓我一直忘了其實我們已不再是學生
應該說 我們都一起在努力的成長互相help to clear the cloud
每一段每一段的過程中
我們依然不間斷的to share our experience and thoguhts
this is what friends for, isn't it?
every morning, i always got a message from my dear ariel in HK...
Good morning, nanny..
just like we are still in the same city, working on the same proejct and this really just make my day happy
more than a year since,
一有問題或是不悅 我們都是對方的情緒出口
一有狀況 我們都會想到對方
一有夢想 我們都會想讓對方知道
一樣不停的發問 又愛亂做夢
還愛給對方一個新的綽號
但我也不知道是哪根筋不對
就像是一個連體嬰一樣 會一起跟她不斷的思考
但 哈哈 是媽媽與小孩的組合
but i really enjoy the every conversation with her ....with very pure and simple heart...
what a pleasure to have a company like this
ariel, my little girl,
真的是看著她慢慢的長大成熟
看著三年前當我們一起離開倫敦時 他的那種灑脫及單純 到最近 我們於香港碰面後再次面臨say goodbye的那種難過及情緒起伏 真的是讓我動容及心疼
dear little girl, you really grow up...and i am so pround of you
a new yr is going to began
wish we all can keep our fresh and simple heart forever~~

台式週末 v.s London weekend
天下紅雨 我們居然有員工旅行 雖然是下墾丁 但這對我來說 其實很不熟
地球走過了近半圈 台灣本島居然玩不到十分之一 這真的是反了 英國的天涯海角都有留下我的足跡 台灣的北我拜訪過南端則只停留在字詞上
打著員工旅遊 一行人出發前往 反正我自認為是個遊人 不出去遊走那不就是違背我的天性了嗎 遊走於南北端中 一路上被其他一同前往的夥伴嘲笑說怎會沒來過墾丁 說到這 我想我有去看過 國外的海洋公園 國內的部份…應該不會讓我太囋嘆吧 反正在這兩天中 墾丁該玩的點我都走過了連海洋生態館都去造訪了 好 這些都不是我要講的重點
重點是 在海洋生態館中時 一樣有在英國留學經驗的老闆說 台灣人很可憐喔 連週末可以去的地方都少之又少 對喔 在英國的周末 我的行程真的都是都是滿滿的耶
仔細回想起來 在倫敦的周末 不是去二手市場逛逛就會是去畫廊看畫 在奢侈一點 去看場歌劇 不想出去人擠人時 就拿一本書去草地上做日光浴
在那四年得日子裡我體會到了 人生真的可以很簡單卻又充實快樂 不需要有太大的物質享受或是頭銜的過度包裝 在倫敦的日子裡 我學會了這個很重要的一課

人+生命/人生+命
靠唄
忍不住大罵自己
有人想活命 你卻再這裡 偶 四 山
曾經悼念的朋友是 阿雀
在認識得第六個年頭 一場意外 神帶走了他
哭+泣+ 夢中與他共同有的美好經驗
悼arthur...I will remember you forever.
因為都在準備出去英國之事而認識 緣份就這樣開啟了
回國後我下意識的過著不斷過度放大抱怨人生中的不順遂 不安分的有著九個月之癢
但一起努力奮鬥的arthur...
卻是被迫舉起他生命中的白旗
痛+悲
人生阿 就是這樣子
人有了生命開始成長 但你的人生卻會因為著不同命運有著不同的結果
為什人要有不滿+不知足+慾望的這各特性呢

another interesting piece...
i wish i did thought about that before....
this is so amazoning
found from: http://www.artkamp.org/
push button house
for today...an interesting project
it's called puch button house
project detail:
time: can't find yet...
designer: Adam Kalkin
concept from: the shipping container...
the orginal archive :
Shipping container prefab houses certainly aren't anything new (we featured them some time ago, here) but the latest incarnation from architect/artist Adam Kalkin is pretty darn slick, so we had to mention it. The Push Button House is exactly that: it starts as a shipping container until a button is pushed, and it turns into a house. Motorized walls unfold like a flower, revealing a fully functional house, complete with refined, understated furnishings. Kalkin is unveiling the house (in more ways than one) at Art Basel Miami Beach, a renowned art show that started yesterday and runs through the weekend. Fitting that the house's debut is at an art show; Kalkin fancies himself a fusion of artist and architect: "I'm not into the container per se. It's what I can do with it emotionally; transforming a commodity into poetry." No word yet on pricing or production schedules; his Quik House will go into production next month and will be priced between US $150,000 and $175,000.

貢丸湯
2006 March
一趟前往德國看CeBIT展的過程中
Jay, Mei-mei and Ming...兩天的路程中
(London-->Berlin-->Hannover-->Berlin/ Berlin-->Hannover-->Berlin-->London)
討論過以下主題
1. Meimei's final project: Tea party
2. Ming: EPS traveler
3. Jay: theme with chair
4. Cebit
5. Concept of narrative
6. 貢丸湯理論
7. 三明治理論
8. 皮包理論
真不知那時哪來的體力及口水
就已經再趕路了
還一路拉車到Hannover...
不趕緊抓住時間休息
ㄚ 還要動嘴動不停
Theory of貢丸
人生求學過程如同煮一鍋好喝的貢丸湯 水的溫度要對 肉丸的材料要對 肉丸下鍋的時間要對 判斷肉丸撈起的時間要對 外加調味的比例要對 裝湯的器皿要對 湯跟丸的平衡度要對
簡單的說 就是要能嘗到原汁 肉的口感 及最後呈現的完整美感
這不就是 真善美 三一得平衡嗎?
當時的我們 以為 其實我們已走到了 判斷肉丸撈起的時間要對 這各階段
今天 2007 Nov 我跟妹妹又有了後續的討論
妹妹跟我都笑說: 第一次的湯 味道怪怪的 還要在實驗
因為原則不變 但是在 肉丸材料的部份 有問題 過去的我們 把概念這一食材比例放的太重 不平衡
這次要再多注意幾個大方向
1. 市場調性
2. 時間掌控
3. 軟硬體技術
4. 行銷手法及策略

於德國漢諾威(Hannover)這各城市舉辦 為每年全球性最大的電腦/科技/商業展覽
整個展場共24 館 通常展出期為2星期
如果只單純看電腦科技部份 至少需要2天的時間
這個展場的優勢在於環境上的優良 除了場地大 還可做特殊高度的設計 這跟台灣我們所熟悉的世貿館裡那些用活動系統展板的設計差很多 除了空間上的優勢外 還加上是位在一個國際性水準的平台上 各廠商的賣像也跟在台灣所見到的不同

narrative...萬歲 萬歲 萬歲 萬歲 萬歲 萬歲 萬歲
親愛的姊妹之一 於上週五與倫敦聖馬丁學院 舉行遠距教學 共同創作
針對城市/運動/旅遊等相關議題提出設計想法及藉由東西方不同的城市文化背景經驗提出新的再敘述概念設計 結果將於明年3月於英國舉行特展 (press)
narrative...narrative...i just fall in love with you again...
每每大家都問說 ㄚ~~~你到底在唸啥ㄚ
ㄟ 阿就 說故事阿 不然另一種無厘頭的回答就是 碩士班的一種
對 因為到現在我們還是無法正確的用很邏輯的語言說出各所以然來 所以以下的都包括
//敘述環境/經驗設計/total design/建築/景觀/裝置藝術/平面/廣告/策展/產品/互動式設計 etc...
應該是越來越模糊 疑問也越來越多吧 因為有說等於沒說
拿我的畢業設計來說吧 我的設計著重於去創造一種新的旅遊經驗 必須要結合
城市性+社會結構+當地特殊旅遊與當地文化結合與衝擊+特殊的地理氣候環境+產品設計概念+產品與使用者的互動關係+使用者的過去/現在/與欲望+新的科技研發+相對應的系統開發+服裝設計
對 你沒有看錯
我想我當時應該是瘋了怎會做到這龐大的怪物
但是這想法可大可小
回來到現在 我的腦還一直在想
how to improve it?
maybe it's time to continute develop
//my brief: EPS
This project proposes a wayfinding system designed for the independent traveller. EPS (Experience Positioning System) is based on the traveller's personal emotional experiences of time and space. It uses information about past experiences and hopes and fears for the future to suggest a personal route through a city. The jacket maps out the possible routes and gives an advanced sense of mood in space by either stretching or tensing the fabric against the body.

about tate...
好吧 為了讓自己更懷念關於tate的一切
以往去tate的路線 一定是搭車到 st. Paul 然後沿著 st. paul cathedral 一路來到Norman Foster''s 千憙橋 看看thams river 然後來到 tate.. 從管子(tube)出來沿途享受著古文化 來到新舊交替的橋邊 到達舊有建築新生命的tate morden....這是我最常走的行程而且通常我的手上會有一杯startbucks's coffee 通常會是cafe latte 夏天時吹著海風 很優 冬天時冷風吹 頭很痛
tate 是我不小心發現的 只能說剛到英國時 年紀小不會做功課 到達 st. paul cathedral 時看著人群都朝同一各方向去 就跟著走 對 這就是我如何知道tate的 不知道tate會不會很傷心 不過這麼整理著 才發現 tate是我到英國後的第一各參觀的gallery 也是我在離開倫敦之前去拜拜的最後一個
宿命喔
我愛tate 每次參觀 都會讓我自己覺得有一層舊的皮被蛻去了 been educated 又多認識了一點contemporary art...看過的展 過多 不大記得 但還好 大部分的 leaveleft 都有留下來 慢慢整理囉
tate體系下 共有tate modern/ tate britain/tate liverpool/tate st.ives and also tate online. 還蠻驚訝的 在讀wikipedia時 發現 居然幾經把虛體與實體的建構組成 結合的平台 概念完整的被整理及記錄了出來 tate裡 我最熟悉的當然是 tate modern 原為power station...來到晴天後 洪老一直說關於這裡的過去 但對我 哈哈 時代不一樣 沒多大的感覺 對我 tate 還蠻像是我的老家一樣 以前 只要學校沒課 我就會開始尋找art/design exhibition to visit.... 還一度以為其實自己的真正身分是 藝術欣賞者 學生的本分 都要忘掉了 tate 離學校近 很常去 而且裡面的書店也很優
每次在tate裡 看著許多的小學生也跟我一樣在欣賞著這些作品 更多的是在臨摹一些畫作 真的是很佩服他們的教育體系 如何去培養一個人的觀察力 從腦到手的連結 有時會混在裡面 看看他們的老師如何教育學生 或是聽學生問的問題 但 很可悲的是 這些小朋友的問題 我一個都沒聽懂 問題深到....咳 我是出去唸碩士的嗎 那我的程度可能不及這群小朋友 自悲到了一個極點
很無奈於 為啥我不是英國的小孩 很慶幸 我現在有機會出來 努力的補一下
但回來一年了.....恩 還想要繼續進補耶~~

tate gallery
昨天看到網站上關於tate過去合作過的八各藝術家 今晚爬了各文 也感謝wikipedia's system...完整列出過去的所有artist
只能大喊...internet I love U...
2000 — Louise Bourgeois — Maman, I Do, I Undo, I Redo
這件作品 隊就是那各大蜘蛛的那件作品 取名為maman 現在有保留在tate裡 但是他還有其他10個分身 在世界各各不同的國家中 我在西班牙的畢爾包古根漢有看到另一隻 據說 日本也有一隻 整件作品 高10米 全部都是鐵鑄件 取名的來源 我記得是因為 腹中的小北鼻
2001 — Juan Muñoz — Double Bind
2002 — Anish Kapoor — Marsyas
這各藝術家 很妙 也讓我第一次發現空間可以讓一件藝術作品變的超現實但他卻是很真實的量體呈現 記得他之後也有跟future system於義大利的某各大眾交通系統的出入口做設計 他也晉身為我最愛的藝術家之ㄧ
2003 — Olafur Eliasson — The Weather Project
這各案子 不用我多說 因為它真的是太有名了 當時在英國當地所創造出來的話題性 及拉近了人對於藝術作品及空間環境的一大案例之一 這各作品 也是針對這各空間所做的設計(site specificy)
還記的那時 我躺在空間的地板上 望著天空中所反射出的倒影 一度以為自己在公園 看月亮
現在超級懷念著這各作品 三不五時 還會想著她
2004 — Bruce Nauman — Raw Materials
看到這各案子時 我還一度懷疑自己怎麼在哪裡 然後還遺漏了這各案子 正在後悔時 突然想起來了 ㄚ 這各就是當時我跟爸爸還有mark silver/ fady 一起合作時 去tate所看到的 關於聲音的
這各案子對我來說 印象不深 我想還是有language bounary的問題在
2005 — Rachel Whiteread — Embankment
白色的保麗龍空間 怎麼照都看起來一樣
當時還一度懷疑 tate 怎花這多錢 弄了這些很不環保的材質來這擺 怪怪
2006 — Carsten Höller — Test Site
對 就是這各 在我要回來時我所參予過的最後一各 也是讓我對英國在藝術作品上的金錢價值觀 有了很大的佩服 對 這各案子 又是花了無數的英鎊 弄了幾各溜滑梯 加上幾各金屬結構 立在空間中 晃阿晃 我個人覺得是很不可思議的說 本想要上去試試 但見人太多 部分的 還要付費而作罷
這們說 好像是說tate的頭腦有問題 我只能說 真的是很佩服這些國家的文化成熟度 台灣阿 你有一天會變這樣嗎
2007 — Doris Salcedo — Shibboleth
這各就是今年的作品 讓現在的我很憤怒 why you are here, Ming 只氣自己 當時未何沒努力讓自己留在英國

2007-Shibboleth-tate modern London
shame on me...這種展覽 當我人在London可是不會錯過的說 現在人在這島 只好爬爬文 請人照張像 轉述給我聽
我的疑問
1. 技術面上 他是怎麼辦到的
2. 能在 tate morden 展出的artist 到底在溝通過程上的 brief 是給予了artist多大的發揮空間
3. in what standard to pick the artist and their work to exhibit in tate
4. what's general public's reaction?
5. the relationship between artist/ artwork/exhibition space?
//1550 chairs by Doris Salcedo, Exhibited in the Istanbul biennale, 2003.
about the artist:
Doris Salcedo
*born in 1958 in Bogotá, Colombia
*she is a sculptor
*Ed bg:
(BA)Fine Arts Universidad Nacional de Colombia
(MFA) New York University.
*influence or idea inspired from : her experiences of life in Colombia, and is generally composed of items of furniture.
designer/artist:Doris Salcedo
title:shibboleth
dimension: a 167 -meter long crach
content:
This 167-metre-long crack in the hall's floor that Salcedo says "represents borders, the experience of immigrants, the experience of segregation, the experience of racial hatred. It is the experience of a Third World person coming into the heart of Europe."
press release:
About Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth is the first work to intervene directly in the fabric of the Turbine Hall. Rather than fill this iconic space with a conventional sculpture or installation, Salcedo has created a subterranean chasm that stretches the length of the Turbine Hall. The concrete walls of the crevice are ruptured by a steel mesh fence, creating a tension between these elements that resist yet depend on one another. By making the floor the principal focus of her project, Salcedo dramatically shifts our perception of the Turbine Hall’s architecture, subtly subverting its claims to monumentality and grandeur. Shibboleth asks questions about the interaction of sculpture and space, about architecture and the values it enshrines, and about the shaky ideological foundations on which Western notions of modernity are built.
In particular, Salcedo is addressing a long legacy of racism and colonialism that underlies the modern world. A ‘shibboleth’ is a custom, phrase or use of language that acts as a test of belonging to a particular social group or class. By definition, it is used to exclude those deemed unsuitable to join this group.
‘The history of racism’, Salcedo writes, ‘runs parallel to the history of modernity, and is its untold dark side’. For hundreds of years, Western ideas of progress and prosperity have been underpinned by colonial exploitation and the withdrawal of basic rights from others. Our own time, Salcedo is keen to remind us, remains defined by the existence of a huge socially excluded underclass, in Western as well as post-colonial societies.In breaking open the floor of the museum, Salcedo is exposing a fracture in modernity itself. Her work encourages us to confront uncomfortable truths about our history and about ourselves with absolute candidness, and without self-deception.

Bridge-by Michael Cross
Bridge...what a wonderful name for this wonderful project.
Challenge your fear and the physical balance.I was very surprised by this art piece. It reminds me a lot to another project done by Richard Wilson 2050 . I love this art piece very very much and also I still can't forget the small from the recycle oil. That's un-forgettable.I like this artpiece too. It is because it brings back my memory of the Richard's and also it challenge myself as a visitor. It created a very special relationship and communication between the art piece and me. Do I believe the safety issue and also do i believe myself or not? As you walk through the piece, you need to control your balance and the central weight too. It's hard and also the illusion from the space and water.....that's really realy scared. However , when you finished the 'walk' , you will realize that how worth it is. It is a very very nice art piece. I woule like to see this project in a open space with more complicated design.While I was walking on the steps, i also had a chat with the artist itself. He said that he have been to Taipei and also did a workshop there with an architecture school. I wonder which one will it be. They are so lucky to have this talent artist. He is definited somebody not like me , just a nobody.I am very galde that before I back to Asia, I can have this wonderful experience.

一年一度的大拜拜
I knew this event since the first year I arrived London. A event just for two days only. It also a very good opportunity for everyone to visit all the selected buildings.

Richard Wilson
He is one of my favour's best installation artist।
[intro from Wikipedia]
Richard Wilson (1953) is a British installation artist.Wilson was born in London and studied at Hornsey College of Art and the University of Reading. He was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 1988 (when Tony Cragg won) and 1989 (when Richard Long won).Wilson often works on an architectural scale, often changing large spaces in some dramatic way. One of his best known pieces, 20:50 (1987), consists of a room half-flooded with used sump oil in which the ceiling of the space is reflected, producing a disorienting effect. 20:50 was commissioned for Matts Gallery in East London and was brought by Charles Saatchi and has been re-installed in a variety of formations at the Saatchi Gallery.Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wilson_%28installation_artist%29"
