review

I took this picture on the subway

As you see, this ad was hung upside down.
It was a mistake, probably.
But it attracted me more than when I saw that ad hung normally.

Thinking differently-maybe 180˚,like this ad- seems strange, but also creative.

Escape : Freedom.

서강대학교 교실마다 걸려있는 십자가...

그 십자가를 보면서 나는 몽상에 잠기곤 한다...

수업시간에 느껴오는 갑갑함은 십자가에 걸려있는 예수를 더욱 쬐는듯해보인다...

왜 우리는 십자가에 못박힌 예수의 상만을 만드는가..

항상 이질문은 내머리를 떠나지 못한다...

우리가 십자가에 못박힌 예수를 머리속에 떠내버리지 못한거처럼...

예수가 전세계에 못박은 그의 영향은 우리를 때어놓지 못한것처럼 느껴진다...

그의 십자가를... 그리고 그가 우리에게 못박은 십자가를...

그저나는 풀어 던지고싶다...

그리고 ......

그를 그저 한가롭고 평화로운 풀밭위에 눕히고싶을뿐이다..

Feedback...

well.. can i write it down in korean so that i can express more about this course ?

드디어 힘든 5주가 지났습니다...
사실 이 수업이 좀 "널럴"한감이 있을거 같아서...택했답니다....
제가 계절학기듣는이유는 교환학생 시험전에 평점을 높이려는 의도가 있었기때문에...
제가 좋아하는 분야이면서도 좀 여유있게 공부할 수 있을만한 이 수업을 택하였지만..
결과는 그 반대였습니다... (물론 제가 좋아하는 분야임에는 변함이 없었지만..)
사실 전 수니프로그램중에서 3학점밖에 듣지 않으면서도.. 6학점을 듣는 다른 학우만큼 같은 수업에 참여했었어야했었고... 수업외에 엑스트라워크는.. . 체감9학점을 방불케하였습니다..
그처럼 매우 힘든 일이었지만... 좋은 점두 많았고 좀 아쉬웠던것두 많았습니다..

우선 좋았던점을 들자면
1. 서강대에서는 항상 예술대학이 없어서 아쉬웠었습니다..
그래서 교양으로 예술관련 수업을 깊이 들을 수 없어서 항상 아쉬웠었는데
이번기회를 통해서 그 아쉬움에 대한 대리만족을 할 수 있었던것 같습니다...
어떤 주제에 관해서 예술적으로 창작하고 표현한다는 즐거움을 몸소 느낄수 있었던 시간이었습니다..
2. 글로벌 커뮤니케이션의 경험... 저희 조는 독일인 한명 미국인 두명(한명은 비록 떠났지만), 그리구 외국에 오랬동안 체류한 한국학생들 여러명으로 이루어져서인지 각자 색깔이 다 짙었던것 같습니다.. 각자 개성이 다 다른 그룹속에서 서로 소통하는 과정이.. 비록 힘들기는 했었지만.. 그 힘듬이 작품을 하나 하나씩 완성되면서 희열로 바뀌는 과정은 제게 있어 이번 여름방학이 소중한 이유중에 하나가 되었습니다.
3. 수업의 다양성.... 이동일교수님부터해서 에이미교수님 필립, 데이빗 교수님께서 가르치시는 각자 다른 영역은 저희에게 "많은"부담을 주긴하였지만 덕분에... 새로운 것을 배우게되는 계기가되었습니다..

다음으로 아쉬웠던점은..
1. 정체성의 불분명...
사실 이건 제 개인적으로 느끼는것일지 모르겠습니다만, 이번 프로젝트의 정체성이 과연 무엇이었었나 아지까지 궁금점으로 남습니다.. 서울 : Global, City, Body.... 한 파트만 두고도 나올수있는게 무궁무진한데... 이걸 개별로 각각 정해서 했었어야햇던건지..세파트를 통합적으로 접근하면서 추상적으로 접근했었어야했는지... 아니면 다가오는 서울2020 행사에 맞게 서울 디자인에 초점을 두었어야했는지.. 초반 3주동안은 대체 무엇을 어떻게 접근했었어야했는지 감이 오질 않았었고... 조별 프로젝트를 진행시키면서도.. 우리가 하고있는것이 과연 옳은방향인지에 대한 혼선이 끊임이 없었습니다... ..
아울러. 제 개인적인 생각으로..다음에 수니프로그램을 할때는... 주제를 서울에 국한시키지말고, 한가지의 주제에 초점을 맞춘다면 더욱더 다양한 생각과 작품이 나오지 않을까 싶었습니다.이를테면.. 주제를 금기로 한다면.. 서울의 금기에 대해 논하는것이 아니라 글로벌한 금기에 대해서 논할 수 있는... 그래서 보다 더 다양한 생각들이 서로 교류될수 있도록 하는 자리가 마련이 되었으면 좋을것 같다구 생각해보았습니다.

2. 수업 전체적인 방법(Method)
사실 통합적으로 연계된 수업을 받아본적이 이번이 처음이었기 때문에.. 이것이 좋았다 나쁘다 할수는 없을것 같습니다.. 다만 수업을 시작하기전에.. 이 수니프로그램은 연계되어있는 수업이다라는것을 미리 알려주셨으면 더 좋지 않았을까합니다.. 사실 요즘 젊은세대들이 싸이월드나 블로그를 다 하나씩은 갖고 있고, 디카로 사진찍거나 캠으로 동영상찍는것을 좋아한다고 한들.. 그런거에 전혀 관심이 없는 아날로그적 사람들도 존재하기 마련이라고 생각합니다. 저도 아날로그적사람이였기때문에.. 매일 하나씩 사진이나 영상을 찍어 올리는 크리에이티브 저널은.. 굉장히 적응하기 힘들었습니다.. 사실 디카도 없고 캠도 없는 저는 이번수업을 위해서 무리한 지출을 하기두 개인적으로 힘들었습니다. 만약에 수업전에 이런것이 요구된다 필요로된다고 언급만해두셨다면...아날로그적 사람들에게 더 좋지않았을까싶습니다. 전 ritual performance 강의를 들으면서 제가 카메라를 들고 사진을 찍고 그것을 블로그에 올려야되는것이 필수상황이라고 생각조차하지도 못했었습니다. 이 문제가 비단 제문제뿐만 아니라고 생각되는건.. 저의 팀원중에 한명도.. 저와 비슷한 아니 저보다 더심하게 그런 것을 느끼고있었고. 적응하지못하고... 결국 수업중도에 하차하기까지하였습니다.. (사실 그친구의 수업하차가 그이유때문인지 아닌지는 모르겠습니다만... ) 제가 말씀드리고싶은것은 이러한 방법이 잘됫다 아니다가 아니라.. 미리 이프로젝트가 이런 저런 방향으로 진행될것이라고만 언지만해두셨어두... 더 좋지 않았을까한다는점입니다.

정말 바쁘게 5주를 보낸것 같아 가슴이 뿌듯합니다.
그리고 그 5주의 "신명"을 느낄수 있게해주신 이동일교수님과 더불어 에이미교수님, 데이빗교수님 그리고 필립교수님께 감사의 말씀을 드리고싶습니다.
감사합니다.

Stage

It was the first time to perform on stage. How was your feeling? It was incredible feeling. Concentration and excitement. These two things made me absolutely high. How can I forget these feelings? I thought that is one of the reason to perform on the stage.
The feeling on the stage, that is kind of drug I think.

Daybreak

This picture was taken on 05 Aug 5:45 AM. It was in front of Gongdeok Station.

I think lots of people feel nihility but this is not an end. GHB festival was finished but our festival was started before and it is not closed if we close the door by ourselves.

Sunrise. It is the time to move on.

The law of inertia

The law of inertia.
Yesterday, I couldnt stand to stay at home... I felt to rehearse more and more...
Can we do performance again? I can do it better than last time... T.T

This show was over but my passion is not over. The passion and exertion about performance will be continuous.

Messaging

I think the one of important things in performance is messaging.
If we do splendid performance with grand sound but nobody understand what we want to express and then audiences could say "So what?"
If we couldnt communicate our message to audience, it was not succeful performance.

Thank you!

Thanks for your interest and participation.

We were really moved.

Jangseung, the monument would protect Seoul

and answer your prayer.

Seonangdang, the stack of stones would imply

the Seoul 2020 that all the hopes are realized in.

We wish Seoul 2020 to be a city of hope.

그리고 마지막으로,

조원 둘 밖에 안되는 조 살려보자고,

멍도 많이 때렸지만ㅋㅋㅋ

언제나 좋은 얘기 많이 해주고,

열정을 불태웠던

내 짝꿍~~~ 너무 수고 많았어~~~

우리 소원은 꼭 이루어질거야!!!

Singing Cicada

Once I heared their singing walking around

I felt they gathering their voice at the same time and it was amplified much stronger..

And also I found this picture that a larva of cicada and a dead cicada were together..

A cicada larve live in the ground 7 years without eyesight even light. very lonely and in darkness.

And then they come up to the light, they sing most powerful then anyother creature.

.. Very short. So cicada might have regret or resentment?

I think of relation death and birth, start and end. They are connected..


Our Festival has gone.

So I lose my way to go right now.

But this moment is also connected with 29th June, the first meeting of us.


Cicadas are still singing and will sing steadily.

Love all of u.

Seyoung(Serotonine)

OUR WISHES

I hope all our wishes come true.

NEURONS AS SWARMS...

MEMORY AS THANG....

If they traveled with this they would succumb to the ultimate entrapment. Fetish. The strength and the life of things. The late twentieth century was how the fetish for things propelled whole economies until collapse. Then the phallic entrapment and the soiled earth. Homeostasis was gone. They had all given their respect…and their natural ecstasy, their trance even to the homeostasis of things. Then hard drives. Mutation. Where machines and cities still mutated forms merely looking back in time telling a long lost story? The walk about. Then. There. Telemetric? Measuring the hermit value and empathetic through distance? Or mutual commiseration this was a dead end also. Ecology? Homeostasis? It was the chaos of even the decline of numbers. They, anybody, could be happy without things. There they had the bounty of infinite imagination…he had the bounty of hanging with people who were capable of anything. And then everybody came. The ecology of lucky mutations. Nature needed no help…nature was not the logic of homeostasis. The consciousness attributed to the arrogance that somehow humans were the custodians of nature. Then the mutation of culture…fetish and machines…computers…intelligences. They would always be different that theirs. Nature, humans, and computers existed on different levels.

Final work.

I'm proud of our final work!!

화병 vace

I draw this in korean restaurant.

Generally vaces are rather long and fine to arrange flowers.

This vase, in traditional design, was made small and low and allows just a few flower in a same time. I could feel some kind of krean-ness in it and asthetical simplicity also.

I have the best time in my life -
Thank you so much!

Frankly the process to prepare was really hard. But I think it get be the best memories as much as the passion I did-

Now we have the real vacation - Let's enjoy this moment!

tonight..

All of the scheduled events finished today
I feel a certain kind of unexplainable fulfilment
Craving for whiskey right now :)


Thoroughly enjoyed every step of it all, thanks to all of you's!

ppl's handpringting in suny program!

Floor reflects those handprinting

we made it~!

Tae Heon's friend Korean cicada. unfortunately, his friend die after being taken this pic.

we worked hard and the oldest guys in our group were tired easily. lol.

my last drawing . There seems to be no progress in my drawing....

FInal Renders!

This is what the final animation is going to look like. Using toon shaders on my 3D models gives them an hand drawn look. Also, the toon shaders defiantly add a nice amount of charm and cuteness to hero of the story. I hope you all love it tommorow.........errrrr.........today

WORDS ARE NOT THE PICTURES

But the concept of the image independent from words is a difficult one. Words and not the pictures
could be frozen in time in terms of written language and were the norm. This time of the photography
was revolutionary. The photograph proceeded immediately to the conflict of war and formal
portraiture. The photograph seemed as a sort of a miracle. For centuries writers have recorded their
intimate thoughts in words, yet these were difficult to bring into an analog reality. The words were all
sort of faith in anchoring meaning within a culture before technology. Words had been difficult task of
locking concepts with the hope that they would spring free from generation to generation. Words were
often used to explain images at first as if the validity of the photograph were in debate. The invention
of in matting light on a chemical base to record only images was profound. From here the rest of the
senses would find a waking.

On the outside of that word the attendant meaning varies within each spectator. In the photographic
image the range of ‘signified’ decreases. There are tactile and visual ingredients now bound up in
blended bits. The receptors for the visual far outweigh even the closest aural receptors. The analog
recording of the visual weigh of words was given lightness by ones and zeros. Visual culture would
reign just by the preponderance of these millions of receptors on the eye alone. The analog
photograph-which was predated by the camera obscura-would impact the word with immensity.

Fear the same, especially in the for a rest of the War dead –the civil war by Matthew Brady; the
photograph existed as analog nostalgia. Brady did not for photograph in the midst of battle, but the
aftermath. The bloated bodies, this turn of human wreckage is there exposed- and the skeletons left
and forgotten. The skeletons for traces that process of light and turns overnight traits that there were
men here before. Matthew Brady him performs at first photographers to understand the medium.
The photograph has been important since its inception. It determines the meaningful through the
second look. As the word was an imperfect invention to anchor space/time the image in analog paper
freed the word from its imperfections. The word creates the ‘absence’ of the thing recorded, though the
analog paper-as flat as it is-is the perfect step toward the digital ones and zeros. The image on paper
gets rid of the contrivance between the word and the concept. The image on paper can be scanned
without the tyranny of line reading at great speeds. The prison of linear meaning is given saccadic
ease through the eye’s movement across the surface much as the preliterate hoards did in the
cathedrals of Europe. It is a natural step from the image on paper to ones and zeros, which take on their
own scanning so that the subject doesn’t have to. In the ones and zeros is the hope for permanence.
One could say this of words yet they are also dependant upon the paper…the vehicle. You could say bits
are dependant upon screens-or are they? The kinesthetic and synesthetic would visit the photograph
are dependant upon screens-or are they? The kinesthetic and synesthetic would visit the photograph
placed on paper soon after it was invented…one could say libraries hold this same kinesthesia yet they
are not like a cathedral.

The camera. When it is mounted on a cell phone it becomes ubiquitous. In the early 1990s we saw how
a city could burn when one ubiquitous video camera recorded a police beating. The witnessing of an
assault on human dignity is read right away. American’s funniest home videos dealt with the concept of
photographic ubiquity and we hung on to those images as they bordered on physical harm of the
subjects. The ‘faces of death’ and snuff films hold an almost Roman spectacle element felt when the
blood stained floor of the coliseum distanced the populace from veritable human dignity and empathy.
Framing of a spectacle is important for the photographers assigning of agency of the subjects and the
viewer. Since the Romans we feel that ‘we should do something’ to stop the suffering of the subjects
within the picture plane. When we watched the tsunami roll lazily in on a bright beach day in Thailand
we were glad we were not there but also amazed that this wave could kill so many on a bright Sunday.
‘Slow humanity’ is something more difficult. The pervasiveness of the digital camera has very quickly
changed not only the capturing of disaster, but the evidence of a ‘slow disaster’. Ricardian economic-
elaborated on by Marx-tells us the wage theory of value that pervasive profit can only come through
labor, or captured markets. One of the most memorable documents for me was a BBC special on Chinese
industrialization of the 1990s. In this film it was evident that the paternalistic Maoism was finally
applied to the coastal factories where about 100 million women peasants went to work. It is here that
the built just about everything for the rest of the world. The ‘sent down girls’ of twenty years earlier
sent their daughters back to the major urban centers. Although the regimen of the factories was
totalitarian by western standards a lot of these women saved some money and went back to their
villages as investors and leaders. All of this happened at the same time Detroit was gutted of its
industrial base.

Now,

We can dance wherever, whenever we want.
Here is Doota, one of the biggest shopping mall in Seoul.
(that guy is chul-sik who representing my desire to express ourselves..)
I think this is quite marvelous change-

Humanmial

If we think earth is zoo, we are humanimals.

Like humanimals in zoo,

we have a variety of appearances and identities.

There are ecosystem and thier rules in a jungle.

Like a jungle, we also have our rules and system.

So we need to recognize our each identities,

following our shared rules.

When we respect each other,

humanimals in earth can be happy.

Let's be open in attitude and be positive !

Jangseung

We finished making Jangseung today!

We worked until 9:30...

However, tomorrow we should arrange all the pieces again.

The Jangseung would be put together with Seonangdang, the stone monument.

I wish everyone's hope to be closed in our pieces.

Awesome square

This is Guanghwamun square what I mentioned before.

It was opened 2 dyas ago, and many Seoul citizens visited there.

Many people said that it is awesome !

I really hope to go there after I finish this class :)

Have fun in Seoul

This exhibition shows people having fun in Seoul.

There could be various exciting things in Seoul.

It is our goal to find those things as citizens

who want to be happy in Seoul.

I really hope that everyone in Seoul would be able to find the things well.

Passion

We were making a film for our tomorrow's performance.

To get a good scene, we went up to the top of a church.

We didn't know anybody there, but just went inside.

It was kind of thrill, and I could feel our passion on our work.

animation

Animation with After Effects 7.0

Madang theater

This photo shows Madang theater.

It is the stage opened to spectators,

so easily draw thier attention and participation.

I like the closeness and freedom of the Madang theater.

Making Jang-seung

We planed to make Jangseung and Seonangdang.

We've changed our plan even two times! T_T

It is a little tough because our group memeber is just two, me and Taeyoon-_ㅜ

We worked in this room for TAs, and we are always absent minded

when we are in this room! How mystery is it!

The Earth and an astronaut

I found these in the department store.

These were in the center of the lobby.

Many people liked a model of an astronaut especially and took some photos.

And I did it, too.
