Candice’s works draws my attention as it deals a lot with remembrance and ways she deals with her father’s passing. I feel a sense of familiarity with her works as it comprises of elements that are close to our hearts, i.e. incense paper, and it is very prominent in the South East Asian culture.

Answering the question; How does Candice Ng’s work contribute to the ongoing public discussions about identity, in the context of Singapore and South-East Asia?

Ng brought about pieces of memorabilia as depicted in the work, “Alternative Rituals of Remembering”. The shown items; a bowl, hot water, chocolate, stirrers, cotton swabs and Chinese funerary items, generates the general attitude towards Read more →

The Nobel banquet and Burning man are both two projects where people are gathered for a cultural experience. Both events focus on acknowledging some kind of performance, whether it is an artwork or some kind of scientific discovery. Burning man is described as a “cultural manifest expressed through art, communal effort and innumerable individual acts of self-expression”. The Nobel banquet is Read more →

Candice Ng’s works have revolved around memories or rituals. She is very interested to translate these “past” events or behaviors into the “new” digital medium.

Her work “Conscious Bits” caught my eye as shows snippets Read more →

In this Fifty Shade assignment, I have chosen two of the project that I am going to compare and contrast.

These two projects are chosen mainly because they overlap each other in Read more →

In this hyperessay, I will be comparing Boyhood the movie and a photography project  about dogs by Amanda Jones.

Boyhood is a 2014 American independent coming-of-age drama film, written and directed by Richard Linklater, and starring Patricia Arquette, Ellar Coltrane, Lorelei Linklater, and Ethan Hawke.

Fragility of Time: https://oss.adm.ntu.edu.sg/chen0907/2016/02/01/58/
