Temporary research journal

✍︎ research journal ✍︎

I'll try to keep my research journal as much as possible, to remind myself what things I have gone through since I got here. Not only in school but also outside of the school. ʕʘ‿ʘʔ I'll list keywords as a bread crumb to trace back, some drawings and images, or a short paragraph.

week 9

16th November, the SP16 Group meeting was tough but nice. I suddenly have some doubts about the ETC filter. But at the same time, I have this gut feeling there is something about etc... so we will see.

week 8

API(input pad - output pad) / nomad publication / smart textile(foil push button, printing on textile, make a patchwork e-textile, laser cutter), group meeting(it's always difficult to see the whole forest), Kimberley cocktail random-choice generator / use etherpad to annotate bootleg library content >>>pad for that<<< / a conversation with my roomie/

a conversation with a roommate(S): about the relationship between a) picking up others' energy, atmosphere and b) the detail-oriented tendency of mine in my art practice. S pointed out the contradiction between these two: a) one is about seeing a bigger picture and b) the other is seeing a specific thing. As I reflect on what S said, I was a bit surprised that a) can be seeing the forest, seeing the bigger picture, having a bird-eye. Which I am not good at. Also, I realized that oftentimes a) is more about the feeling(affect) b) is about physical, material, object-related. Maybe the following drawing is what I want to achieve via my art practice and with a power of cuteness? This drawing is not final but it is worth keeping and fermenting.

• 

  learned how to make a circuit that has a battery holder and button

• 

  nomadic publication idea sketch

• 

  using cuteness in my art practice to affect others, shaping the feelings of others, shaping the mood and atmosphere
