RESEARCH REPORT

-


The reason I choose the Cellist is because I want to know more about the Cello pieces, performing and music theory stuff. However, Charlotte Moorman is not the one if you want to know about classical music :)


I'm very glad that I did my report on Charlotte Moorman, I comes to realize that one performing artist could be audacious, vixenish and crazy despite of her personality is conservative, quiet and elegant. Before this I always assume that one's art, the achievement of one's behavior, reflects their personality.

This is my first time reading one's biography because before I always find fictions much more interesting than biography. Why would I want to know about their personal life and private stuff, I'm not trying to copy her way to success! But now I realize by researching on you own using online journal, reading published books, looking at credited photos and watching videos can create personal connection between you and the artist rather than just read their achievement on wikipedia page(which is biased by some other scholar). 

Looking at the path she walks through, I know the friends I admire in conservatory is not as cool as I imagined. They are all human after all. From her childhood experience I get a more in-depth look of classical musicians as "starving artist".

Welcome to the Jungle

Welcome to the jungle! Where Chinese art,    Esperanto ! Movie edits lost frequencies' music, my dogs and other memes find their balance to merge together.  In the center of this connectionist model, it is just me doing random stuff that I think it's worthwhile at the moment. The material will shift over time just like how Marshall McLuhan points out that “all media are extensions of some human faculty psychic or physical” because I'm changing over time. I'll embrace myself with the world rather than confined the vision to myself because the purpose of my arts is serving as the reflection. So feel free to open up and talk about your feelings after viewing. My arts shifts from one specific period of time to another, since being overexposed to the media era. However, Bahá'u'lláh once says Make ye every effort that out of this ideal mine there may gleam forth such pearls of wisdom and utterance

Reflection on Stephen Perkins

Arrebdubf Stephen Perkins' lecture and views his different forms of art. I get more inspirations from his life bio, and gladly I find it online. Start out rebellious at school and eared enough quality to go to Art school, then moved to America with family for school, he keeps DOING WHAT HE LOVE, and MAKE IT TO THE TOP at the moment.  IF you really LOVE it, You got to DIG INTO it! It's like a way of living.  "The family circle has widened. The world pool of information fathered by electric media—movies, Telstar, flight far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world's a sage." --McLuhan Influenced by parents because of moving to the US, but more influenced by the environment which is the Art community he lives in. He flights for it, and he contributed it!  "People comes and go so quickly these days" -- Angles

Wake up.(One minute experimental video)

The concept I tried to convey is spooky and weird.  This photo is a glimpse of the video, hope you don't get scared! I feel really inspired when reading the Space and Time . I think is really interesting that when comes to the topic of Time, we naturally think of light and water.  First, My original thoughts were to capture the light changing from complete dark from the left of the frame to the right, but it became really difficult, not only because I forget to wake up six in the morning, but also I don't know how to shoot the shot.  Second, we are overwhelmed by information every day.  I tried to express this thought by overflowing background track when people throwing events on the bullet board, the unstop Instagram story, and youtube algorism. I want to express my feeling of suffocating and scared when making that. However, there are a lot of elements that are missing  Anyway, there is one video that I took this week of the snow. It's m
