5% FYP pre-presentation + 100 words

100-words summary – 5%

Contrary to popular belief, Quantum mechanics is not just purely imaginary or mathematics. It has always been an essential part of life; However, we are only now discovering what more meets the eye. Visualizing the effects of Quantum Mechanics have not been an easy task, even scientists are not able to observe such instances at such a small scale. Therefore, making the concept of Quantum mechanics even more abstract and uncertain.
5% is a project that would like to bring forward these ‘simple’ laws of physics and talk about it in real life applications and also in the smallest scale. Hopefully, one day we can all understand that these things are not fiction anymore and we are moving forward towards knowing more in-depth what does the world do for us.

Week 1 // Resume & other tings

Biography:

Valerie Ye is an undergraduate at Nanyang Technological University of Singapore. She has enrolled in the school’s Arts, Design and Media faculty with a specialization in Interactive Media. She has previously taken part in iLight 2018 with a group of students from her school as well as organized a drama production ‘Staged 2018’. In addition, she was enrolled in Sungkyunkwan University of the Republic of Korea, Seoul in the winter semester of 2018. Her hobbies are playing rugby, discovering more music and sitting on the floor talking to her dogs. Valerie is a team player be it on or off the rugby pitch, she loves to bring people together with a vision of harnessing everyone’s unique talents and/or capabilities to create projects even greater than what the team set out to do. Inspired by the growing imaginative sets of musical festivals, installations and carnivals, Valerie aspires to be an artist, a stage designer or a producer, in hopes to make her mark on Singapore’s event landscape one day.

Example of one work:

https://blog.naver.com/97choisj/221424899112

Our focus for this project was to raise awareness for the depleting glaciers on our Earth and the facts that follow it. We encourage the users to do what they normally do: consume things in order to ‘save’ the Earth. However, we give them the ultimatum that all these things that we think are saving the earth and its inhabitants, which are actually harming the system.

Example of an Artist’s work:

Artwork: ‘Corps etranger’ 1994 , by Mona Hatoum

http://www.newmedia-art.org/cgi-bin/show-oeu.asp?ID=150000000007761&lg=GBR

Hatoum’s work really encapsulates one’s body and mind in her art work therefore making me feel like she is able to create an unusual experience for the viewers. It is an art work that consists of a video, shot with an endoscopic camera, ‘exploring’ the cavities of her inside organs. The video is projected in a circle on the floor of a cylindrical structure which the viewer enters through one of the two narrow doors situated on either side of it, while a soundtrack, of the endoscopic ‘journey’ accompanies the video image. Firstly, the cylinder itself, confines the viewer to the space, as if she was the camera or in Hatoum’s colon and organs themselves. They are forced to look at the only thing that is illuminated in that space and that is the video. The way the video is projected onto the floor helps the viewer feel more like they are entering and intruding her personal space, a woman’s sacred body. In addition, the chance that the viewer is given to even step onto the video itself grants them the chance to ‘enter’ the space of ‘Hatoum’s colon’. This revelation of her true self, her real body that no one could see from the surface was very intimate therefore very effective with the viewer.
