THIS IS HOME, TRULY (Footages)

I went on looking for footages to pair with the audio, the choice of almost-still images is to capture the scenes of mundane we see in the everyday life in Singapore, as well as to minimise distraction from the audio, below are the stills from the clips. (BUT TOO LAZY TO EDIT THEM FOR THE POST OOPS)

About moving abroad

hoping for the better but not actually knowing what’s in store 

it’s a billboard near my house for the new condo, the promising future we had in mind before moving abroad is often crushed by the harsh reality, here the idealistic nature of advertisement captures that naive hopefulness

About calling home from abroad

distancing from the family and friends

This is the public phone under HDB, sometimes I see foreign workers using them

 

 

About Asian food and home-cooked meal

Featuring mama Lin

Before Meredith mentioned, I didn’t notice how the hawker centre’s always filled with Chinese, she said she felt weird and alienated ordering food at hawker centre

(now that i think about it i probably could use editing and composition to make it look more overwhelming )

 

I was interviewing Meredith on the 28th , and she had to check the calendar before realising that it’s Chinese New Year for her


Also here’s the MOST HORRIBLE attempt at lou hei by my friends


Ms Huang Talking about settling here

being welcomed and finding purpose.

I wanted to use the windmill spinning fast in a stormy day to show that , like how Ms Huang did, sometimes we find our work more meaningful in more difficult environment

About being alienated, being neglected

A post of words describing words

When I ask Dawin what he thinks about library, he said there’s too much words and he’d prefer all information to be in the form of graphics.

Why are words important, why do we record things in words? What is the significance of texts?

library is where the knowledge from the past are being kept alive, where ideas are delivered from past to present via text on paper. Therefore the first round of research I did revolves around artist who deals with words.

Here are the selected artists and works from my research:

TEXT ON BILLBOARD IS A SILENT ROAR

Jenny Holzer

Truisms 

Truisms is a text series of nearly 300 aphorisms (or not) that Holzer had devised, with the intention of generating debate and evoking critical thoughts.  These sentences or phrases are printed on paper and pasted anonymously in public areas.  The project was later expanded to include more public communication device such as posters, stickers and t shirts. In 1982, the series of test were displayed, with time intervals between each sentences, on a LED signboard in Times Square.

IMHO, even though I do enjoy her list of sentences, the earlier presentation of the work did not appeal to me. There seems to be an intention to blur the distinction between everyday life and art, based on the crude and unrefined method of presentation. I can’t help but feel that, as thought provoking as the words are ( and as true as I find some of them are), the act of placing them in public domain using posters appears more as intervention, and printing them on shirts makes it seem like another product that tries to show off “individuality” using statement. (But again it might just be me being judgemental) When the presentation fails to do justice to the words, they fall short of the desired impact, and become just another statement you find during a protest or printed on commercial product.

In contrast to that, her most iconic medium, the LED lights, already has its implicatioin. The LED light sign board are usually designed for public announcement, be it for weather, time or traffic condition, while the billboard are usually for advertisements. None of them are designed to make personal statement or even slightly radical thoughts. That jarring difference between the nature of the message and the medium is what makes the viewers stop and go “what?” , allowing it to intrude the thoughts of the viewer and provoke thinking.

List of sentences from the Truisms

WHAT IS TEXT WITHOUT MEANING

Xu Bing

Book from the sky

Upon entering the installation, one might be intimidated by the overwhelming presence of the words surrounding them. The words, black in colour, high in density, draping gently overhead, impose an invisible weight on the viewer.

In Chinese, Book from the sky (天书) is a term used to describe text or idea which are too difficult to understand. A closer look at the work would reveal to the viewer its nonsensical nature and how the work fit into this title. Every character found in the room is formed by elements of Chinese characters, making it look like Chinese. But none of them are existing Chinese word, rendering the sea text unreadable and impossible to comprehend.

The clear irony here draws a big question mark: why should there be words when we can’t read them?  What happens when we can’t read the existing words? The choice of medium, books and texts also brings to mind question regarding the significance of education and text. How does works and meaning appear in the eye of illiterate and foreigner?

About the work

TEXT GIVES MEANING, TEXT CREATES REALITY

Joseph Kosuth

One and Three Chairs

One of my peers once asked “What’s the point of writing about art, especially when people either ”

In One and Three Chairs, viewers are presented with three different forms of “chair”. An actual chair, a photograph of a chair and a dictionary explanation of the words “chair”. When all three forms are put side by side we can’t help but ask ourselves: which is a better representation of the chair itself?

“The actual chair is a chair because I am able to sit on it, it is able to fulfil its purpose.”

Does that mean being an artwork in the museum makes the chair not a chair , since the audience are not allowed to use it like a chair? In that case the actual chair is degraded to nothing more than the other two forms.

To me the work is simple and effective in provoking thoughts on reality.

What we see must be real. What we know must be real. What we touch and use must be real. But are they?

About the work

About the artist

 

He say he can’t sleep

Inspired by Mona Hatoum’s works that altered furniture  (and the experience of my friend Dawin, Who’s been having trouble sleeping in hall).

A bed should be a place where an individual finds comfort. It should be safe, warm and cozy. This bed is anything but.

The flimsy material, aluminium sheet, makes it fragile, impossible to hold the weight, yet the metallic surface gives off a cold and harsh appearance, creating jarring reflections. The sound created by the fan blowing at aluminium sheets sound like whispers and chattering, enhancing the unsettling atmosphere around the bed.

The irony highlight the insecurity, the worry, feeling unsafe even in the place that should provide comfort.

Taking a form of an everyday object, the work should be relatable for the audience, and create open-ended meaning for each individual.

SHE WANTS ELEPHANT SO I GIVE ELEPHANT

Research and Process for 3D proj 1: Gifts

1.initial concept & interview

My initial thoughts for the project is to comment on gifts meant for acquaintances. (Since conveniently we are assigned clients whom we are not closed to)

When we have to give gifts to those whom we know little about, we tend to choose the gift based on the keywords or superficial informations collected. Such as their hobby or their favourite colour. However such approach seldom result in choices that are useful/meaningful for the receiver. This exchange is somewhat meaningless and troublesome yet we are forced to give gifts out of common courtesy.

From my first interview with my client, Namita, I gained a few keywords:

  • She is an animal lover ( She is a vegetarian because of this)
  • Her favourite animal is elephant
  • She treasures gifts prepared with thoughts/love and doesn’t really care about the monetary value
  • She like the film Interstellar and other films by Christopher Nolan
  • She prefers simplistic design than decorative , pale/dull colour than bright

So based on my initial thoughts, I considered giving her a gift carved from ivory, which is relevant to the keyword, elephant, and is carefully crafted with effort, but conflict with her love for animals (and since ivory is so expensive I’m planning to use clay to mimic the shape/ texture of ivory crafts).

Initial idea was to mimic an ivory craft  source:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Chinese-style-classical-home-decoration-horse-horn-decoration-ivory-crafts-entranceway/1919884330.html?spm=2114.40010208.4.12.M7B5Ir

 

 

2. Consultation & Research (and how I got stuck)

After forming the initial idea, I went through a consultation with Peter, who gave me a few keyword to research for presentation:

  • Trojan horse
  • Illegal animal trading
  • Personal Gifts with No Monetary Value

Click on the picture to see the content of research:

3.GETTING STUCK

However the research does not lead to any new development. At this point, as I talked to Namita, I begin to like her personality. As a result, I am reluctant to carry out the idea of deceiving gifts. And for me it’s rather difficult to start working on the project when I start feeling hesitant towards the idea, so the project was left in stagnant. oh well 🙁

4. PROGRESSSSSSSS

During a discussion with Jia Zhen about useless gifts (her keyword for research), we begin to question the definition of “useless”. Should a personal gift with sentimental value be considered useless? If the item has no practical value, but carries a significant meaning for the owner (e.g represents a precious memory or evokes emotional comfort) Should it be considered useless?

The answer is very subjective. My client, Namita, treasures personal gifts and their significance. Her favourite gift ever received was a letter from her cousin before she left India to study in Singapore. The letter itself does not carry any critical information, but it is significant only to Namita because of the relationship she has with the cousin, as well as the thoughts and well wishes put into the letter. She told me that she treasures gifts given by close friends and relative even if they proved to be useless in practical means.

While I was brainstorming for the project, I mentioned to Jon & Dawin that Namita’s an animal lover and her favourite animal is elephant. In response, they brought to my knowledge the term “white elephant”.

white elephant
noun
a possession that is useless or troublesome, especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of.

This newfound information gives rise to a new development of the project. The term can be a commentary on the attitude we have towards personal gifts. People who treasures personal gifts, like Namita, would keep and hoard them even though they have no practical use. Which is in fact a troublesome habit. The gift is only meaningful to the specific individual and have absolutely no use in another person’s eye.

I start visualising a container, in the shape of an elephant, for containing the personal gifts that she receives.

(and funnily the elephant container would resemble the trojan horse )

below are part of the sketches that lead to the final product.

 

and then I didn’t finish it on time cries oh man feel so bad , fortunately Peter still accept the work which i will put in the next post yeah

DON’T THINK TOO MUCH

Research on Sound Art + Idea 2

During my first consultation, Michael dragged the stool against the floor to show me as an example , the action itself brings to mind a work by Mona Hatoum (that I really liked).

Mona Hatoum

Mobile Home

 

http://artasiapacific.com/Magazine/59/DomesticInsecuritiesMonaHatoum

“Between two metal police barriers are a suitcase, various tables, children’s toys and fabric swatches, all attached to taut motorised wires that pull the objects back and forth, connecting stability at home with law and order.”

In the installation, things that make a home, things that are supposedly familiar to us , are made mobile. The constant shifting of the objects makes us feel unease, the stability of residence is gone and replaced by insecurity.

I just think it’s so elegant to project such emotions/ feeling onto the viewer effectively with simple movements and arrangements.

Zimoun

While looking for inspiration I came across Zimoun’s work and was immediately fascinated by the simplicity of his sounds sculptures. Simplicity not just in the visuals and materials used , but also how purely experiential the works are. Looking at the work, I don’t feel compelled to find out if there’s a story behind it , but is content with looking at the motions, hearing the sound.

To read more on the performative and experiential value of art you can read:

Breathe in, Breathe out

object: Drying rack

We used the old drying lab in semester 1.  I find the sounds made by the old drying rack both scary and fascinating. The echoing rattling noise by the metal parts and the spontaneous cracking sound of the spring when I lift up the layers are mesmerising and yet alarming.

The sounds, together with the tension of the spring that can be felt via the movement of the  metallic layers, offers a performative value that I would like to use for this project.

Set-up :

All layers would be lifted up (in diagonal position) and joined together by nylon string. The bottom layer will be pulled down slowly(by a mechanism that is yet to be found), pulling the rest of the layers down at the same time, against the tension of the spring, creating the sound all at once.

The pulling force will gradually come to a stop before the layer falls back to horizontal position, and release the layers slowly, allowing them to be pulled back to the diagonal position by the spring.

The movement described above should be looped. Forming a slow and contemplative rhythm resembling that of breaths.

This work does not have any elaborate meaning or concept behind but focus on the performative value offered by the object. Striping off its usual function and re-contextualising it as an instrument to generate sound.

Problem: I’ve yet to find any means to pull and release the bottom layer automatically.

SOMTIMES SHE TALKS TO ME AND I REPLY IN NOISES

Talking Popcorn

 

http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/languagetranslation/talkingpopcorn.php

“ A microphone in the cabinet of the popcorn machine picks up sound of popping corn, and a computer hidden in the pedestal runs a custom-written program that translates the popping sounds according to the patterns and dictates of Morse Code. A computer-generated voice provides a simultaneous spoken translation.”

What interest me about the work is the nonsensical idea of trying to translate and understand sound generated by non-living object.   It playfully invite us to relook at how we communicate  through the sounds we made. How the sound we made are converted to languages, how language gives meaning to those sound and allow us to deliver complex ideas simply through the sounds we made.

A more poetic approach to similar process (of translation) by Singapore Artist, Melissa Tan. While the Talking Popcorn translate sound to meaning, Melissa Tan translate texture to sound via mark making and the mechanism of a music box. Both artist take spontaneous and non- living object, and translate their marks or actions into something meaningful by using a medium (morse-code/decoder and music box ). The illogical yet playful process fascinates me.

“As the parentheses in the show’s title suggest, the exhibition placed the in-between spaces in spoken and written language at its center. How do we read (                      )? As silence? Parentheses? Space? Breath? A gap? Wolowiec is not presenting conclusions. She is inviting the viewer to investigate the ineffable.”

Okay I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this one , but what I like is how it makes you re- look at the way we translate text we see into the sound we make. Again questioning the meaning that comes with sound and the visual that evoke sound.

 

 

I was telling Michael all these without having any solid ideas, at the end of my babbling, he asked me to look at the brief (oh ya the brief oh shit)

“Don’t think too much” he said ” Just find the object “

“Okay” I replied ” I’ll think about it”

 

Idea 1: My Sound is Emo

Object: Printing Press (Found in 2D room)

How do we express in sound without words?

A cry? A scream? A sniff? A sigh? A laugh? What if we use sounds that are even more raw, sound that had less association or labels to them, what do they express?

Just like mark making, sound making can be used to express emotions. In this project the intention is to use printing press as a medium to create sound using different found materials.

The found materials will be made into a “music score sheets” in forms of a cardboard, zip lock bag or a box (description of examples on next page) and sent through the printing press to generate sound.

Each  given “score” will have number at the top corners which indicates the size of the gap that the “score” should pass through.

( Removable margin will be marked on the printing press for more precise adjustment) 

Other than using a single material in response to a specific emotion, different materials can also be used together to create a composed piece.

The aim, is not to showcase the scores made by the artist. The examples given merely serve as stimuli to open up more possibility of sound for the audience to create on their own.

By re-contextualise the sound heard in our everyday life, and realising their expressive quality, this project aims to heighten our awareness to the sound in the surrounding environment, and the quality of different sound in a playful and explorative way.

Examples of “Music score”:

Annoyed: two sand paper with the rough side facing each other

Disgusted: two metal sheets with loose clay particles in between

Distracted: pill box, with small magnets in each compartment, as it pass through the metal printing press, the magnet will (hopefully) create a “spontaneous percussion”

Fear: a plastic bag with raw, moist meat inside (NOPE MICHAEL SAID NO MISSION ABORT)

Despair: bamboo sticks ( bending and cracking of the stick)

Terms &conditions

The audience should feel free to use any found materials to make a “score sheet” to produce their own sound. (After all, the association between sound and emotions can be quite subjective) under the condition that :

  • The music score sheet should not damage the printing press,
  • The materials should be contained within the score sheet (no loose pieces dropping out)
  • No living thing (or part of it) should be sent through the printing press

Safety precaution:

  • The metal parts which will come in contact with the “score sheets” will be covered in metal sheets to prevent any potential scratching/ damage of the machine.
  • Warning labels will be placed to prevent audience from reaching their hands into the gap of the printing press.

 

For a very very long time we didn’t talk to each other, and when we meet again it’s as if we’ve lost the secret code that we never had.

She talks to me in words but they disintegrate before reaching my brain. I reply in noises, hoping that she will understand.

 

 

 

 

 

I CANT COLOUR JUST LIKE HOW I CANT TAKE CARE OF MY BODY

 

ego1

Bland & ordinary + pressure = break down / firework 

Gray dot is used to portray the bland and ordinary me .

Blue is in high saturation and low value, intended to suggest intense and 

Red can be the suggestion of violent , or excitement , playing with the duality symbolism of the colour, I want to evoke two different possible outcome of me under pressure, either the pressure breaks me, or give me eureka moment.

 

ego3

passive + spotlight = embarrassment (Pastel)

In this equation I used the almost opposite placement of blue and yellow to portray the contradiction of the situation: someone passive being in the spot light.

The spot light is inspired by the experience of literally standing in front of spot light(or sometimes projector light), being blinded by the overwhelming light.

resulting in the embarrassment that manifest itself in the rash- like form. When I am embarrassed my skin always feel as if being pricked by countless needles ,and the image is to express that experience.

ego2

Clear and distinct opinion + Conformity  = passive aggressive (Pastel)

Blue and orange, distinctively different, with a blank strip between the two colour suggest them repelling each other , unable to mix, suggesting my individual idea that can’t be altered.

The light yellow fading into the gray, showing a transformation into the surrounding colour, suggesting the pressure to conform to the rules and standards of the society.

Green to me is the colour of jealousy, which is always an emotion that is more twisted and beneath the surface, while the colour of this composition looks lively and bright, the intended effect is actually an illusion of protruding form caused by a sharp edge beneath the surface, suggesting the massive aggressiveness.

ego4

boat by the shore (me who prefers to stay safe) + cave (trying new things, venture into the unknown) = new world (Digital)

In this equation I experimented with the colour temperature, having in mind that the warm colour tends to appear closer to the viewer, I used the warm colours to highlight the subject matter , in this case the boat.

In the second picture, however, I used dull warm colours in order for viewers to focus on the cave. The gradual tonal change of the blue also allows me to grab the viewer’s attention.

 

 

And just to wrap up with some reflection, I took a drastic turn in my approach, which was fun and experimental, but result in me overlooking the time and ended up with a rushed work.

I FEAR COLOURS LIKE HOW I FEAR CHILDREN

What if I use just colours for this project? If we strip off the recognisable form and just make use of the interaction of colours, how much can it express?

And while thinking of these, colour field painting naturally came to mind.

Color field painting is a tendency within Abstract Expressionism, distinct from gestural abstraction, or action painting. It was pioneered in the late 1940s by Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Clyfford Still, who were all independently searching for a style of abstraction that might provide a modern, mythic art and express a yearning for transcendence and the infinite. To achieve this they abandoned all suggestions of figuration and instead exploited the expressive power of color by deploying it in large fields that might envelope the viewer when seen at close quarters. (extracted from http://www.theartstory.org/movement-color-field-painting.htm)

 

My understanding of the colour field painting might be just scratching the surface, but personally I find the simple composition and immense use of unmodulated colour in colour field painting fascinating .While researching, I managed to find a few contemporary artist that still deploy the style of colour field painting.

DEREK ROOT

tumblr_m8cp0kskil1qzwmavo1_500 tumblr_m8cp46gber1qzwmavo1_500

I find the use of soft gradient, pastel colour and its large surface area contemplative, and seems to convey a subtle but immense sentiment.

I am fascinated by the use of soft gradient in both of their work. Marco Tirelli’s painting consist of only variation of value, but the play of light and shadow effectively created an illusion of space on the 2 dimensional plane.

MY MOM HID MY BLACK CLOTHES SO I WOULD STOP WEARING THEM

 

TRY OUTS

using simple photos as visual metaphors to form equations

dsc_1148   dsc_2493   dsc_1198-copy

perseverance       +      being restricted    =    breaking the rules

 

INITIAL IDEAS:

I always get very confused working on works in relation to self identity, using a line from a Chinese poem to describe the situation:

不知庐山真面目， 只因身在此山中

literal translation is that, you don’t see the mountain because you are on the mountain.This phrase is to used to describe that sometimes we don’t see the truth because we ourselves are too involved.

After struggling to come up with equations relating to my personality, I decide to focus the work on self exploration, reflection and discoveries. Using the said quote as an overarching idea, I wanted to use close up of outdoor objects to form a fragmented abstract landscape.

EQUATIONS:

  1. overthinking + solitude = self reflection
    • willow tree + moon = moon reflection in the river, willow tree by the side
  2. conserved + new experience = self discovery
    • boat at shore ＋ cave entrance ＝ cave exit to a new environment
  3. insecurity +  pressure= self doubt
    • crooked trunk ＋ overgrown foliage  = broken
  4. low self-esteem＋ failure ＝ self loath
    • stone + rain = moss

To illustrate my idea, I used some found images to simulate the desired composition.

82df738dc084491d9ab5663585e64f4d   moon-hunters-10-15-2016-gianni-krattli-fine-aart-photography-e1476618526172   de0c246397fc8254163c62a5ed08c978

overthinking       +            solitude           =       self reflection

    grjotagja-cave-entrance   big_thumb_ca0722651f854b7e8cc640ea12894e86

conserved          +         new experience     =        self discovery

 

 

 

at this stage my visual reference were the Japanese prints which depicts landscapes. After learning about the colour theories, I start to notice that many of them make use of the split-complementary harmony.

HOWEVER

While trying to come up with a composition for the rendering (and failing to achieve a desired composition with the ) I was reminded that colour theories should work with the image to conveys messages/concepts. I started to question if recognisable form is really necessary. Suddenly the visual metaphors to me are all too explicit. I began to wonder if I can achieve a concept just by using colour interactions.

Land?

“Land is a ship too big for me, it’s a woman too beautiful, it’s a voyage too long, perfume too strong .”  (The legend of 1900, 1998)

Research:

Even though I resonate strongly with the quote, I couldn’t quite figure out what I was feeling strongly about. So I tried to unpack the quote and hoped to find my answer.

These are the things in my notes.

  1. land as a vessel:  Spaceship Earth is a world view term usually expressing concern over the use of limited resources available on Earth and encouraging everyone on it to act as a harmonious crew working toward the greater good.
  2. land as an individual: Ocean’s Room, by Ashley Yeo and Monica So-Young Moon. Using an assemblage of objects, the two artists created a space which depicts the characteristics of ocean. It is Ocean’s room when she’s not around.

    Ocean’s Room, by Ashley Yeo and Monica So-Young Moon http://singapore.coconuts.co/2016/06/07/pics-ocean-explorations-singapore-art-museums-new-odyssey-exhibition

    Ocean’s Room, by Ashley Yeo and Monica So-Young Moon http://dessertingbeauty.blogspot.sg/2016/07/odyssey-navigating-nameless-seas-4-june.html

     

    I like how the artist were able to depict the personification in a subtle manner instead of showing an actual figure of the personified ocean.

  1. land as a plan:  too much freedom, no sense of direction
  2. land as atmosphere? spilled perfume, too strong, too much, too overwhelming, everywhere, hard to get rid of.

Working Process:

I started by collecting images relevant to the keywords in the quote, throwing them into the same file and see what I can come up with.

At this point I was still unsure about my concept, but with the deadline pushing closer I churned out some work to show, and the outcome is rather disappointing,

 

baddreams

The idea was to make use of the scale and composition to show an overwhelming beauty. But this expression is too explicit for my liking.

the following are the other drafts I did:

woman

untitled-6

(The small dot is actually the moon present in the original picture. )

Using simple icons to mark out the key words: landscape, beauty.

 

landwoman

Juxtaposing woman figure and landscape together to draw the relation between land and beauty. The woman in her sleep – a beauty that is unaware of the gaze, that is in rest, too precious to disturb.

vessel2

Depicting earth as just a small submarine in this big universe.

pefume

Using facial expression to bring out the strong emotion, to suggest the strong smell of the perfume. The gas mask on a perfume bottle brings out the irony.

Challenges:

Besides grasping the concept, another difficulty for me was to create seamless composition using different images. To me, for the picture to look surreal, the different component should merge naturally. if the picture is obviously photoshopped, it loses its magic. I had to spend some time working on each composition for the picture to look more natural.

 

Silk-Screen:

 

First time doing silk-screen printing! It was a fun exposure (HARHAR) .

From managing the amount of ink to lifting the frame from the fabric, every step requires careful execution that i was unaware of. The process also requires room for trial and error.
