This work is at the fifth floor of the building. Actually I did not even notice that it is an artwork at first until someone told me to look inside the hole. I really thought its just some ongoing construction stuff as the green metal container is so common and it really blend in the environment around it. However, after I peeped into the small hole, I was like WOW, ok cool… You really have to take a minute and observe carefully because its quite dark and the images are a bit hard to see. There is a worker’s jumpsuit hanging in the isolated space and some slide show of pictures are playing. There is a fan inside which I did not know why they put it there as it keep making the jumpsuit moving and I cannot see the pictures properly. The label says its titled after an cummings poem which explores loneliness within a city. Then I realise the picture shows a construction worker lying on two plastic chairs. The artist used simple mediums and bring us who is living in this fast paced city to quite down and think about what loneliness mean here. It is a form of communication of the artist through this unique piece of work and I like it a lot. I hope all the people passed by it can stop a while and experience this piece of work.

I was think whats this siren about when Michael was briefing us at the esplanade tunnel. Then after I watch the show and read the description I realise its actually the siren to gather the people in NS to start their training. There are three clips with the guy running up and down at left and right. It is connected in a way. The band performance in the middle. To me, I interpreted it as it the the sone that they sing while training gives them the encouragement and power to persevere through the tough training. I like how the artist uses a few clips to show the distance that he is running. Also the audio gives a more 3D feel like he is really running around. The endless running showed its a long run not only for the body but also mentally. This piece of artwork will definitely bring back some people’s memories of their NS times. The highest level of artwork is to interact with its audience. So I think the artist did it and its a very good way of using the space in the tunnel to create such a interactive art.

Overall, it was an interesting trip to go around and take a look at the places which I do not go often. It was very relaxing and the best is we can get out of the boring classroom and had a fun time outside school!
