1.specific examples and sketches of possible outcomes and past experiments
2.concrete proposals and prototypes of your own work as well as the contest in which that work sits.What will you create that expresses your vision and your subjective position on the topics you are exploring.
Project
The project would be an audiovisual installation, represent the relation between nature and human being. I would like to use 2d hand drawing animation as the tool of visualizing the
Q: 1. go inside ,user's experience 2. change the first sentances 3.technique and the possibilities of the animation.
Introduction
After the research for EMO(Giants and Little People)[1] I have slightly moved further with the word "Scale". Since we born in this world, the scale of the world for us is always changing, it changes with the grow and shrink of our physical body, also relies on the understanding or our emotion/feeling to the world. At a macro level, out general understanding of this world is also changing by the time, such as the conversion of public perception from Geocentrism to Heliocentrism or the changing of peoples' feeling to nature presented in the western painting history.
Quoted from the English scripts of Earth, Sea, and Sky: Nature in Western Art: Masterpieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art: From early times, people struggling to understand powerful natural forces imagined them as human in order to mitigate their fear of the unknown. The tradition of personifying nature continues to this day, for example in the practice of giving personal names to hurricanes.
而通过运用不同的科技手段，我们可以观察到构成我们的身体的细胞是如何运动和代谢的，可以看到化学反应每一个短暂瞬间的变化，也能看到星系的全貌和模拟黑洞吞噬周边的物件的过程。一方面，日新月异的科技，让我们有新的明确的图像证据来承托出自身的更加巨大和更加渺小的时间越来越短。另一方面看，这样高速发展的清晰的比例尺，对我们的自我认知似乎也没有太大的影响。身处于宇宙，着陆于地球，生存于前辈建造的人类社会围绕着以我们自身为标杆的物件，科学家们对nature的探索这件事，并不能影响我们对自身星球主宰者的地位的判断和认知。
Through advanced technique, there is no doubt that we can obeserve the function of cells which constructs our physical body, monitor every singal moment of a chemical reaction and simulate the process of a black hole having its food. On one hand the scale for measuring the world is gaining its datas, on the other hand, it doesn't bring a big difference on our perception to the world. We still live in the same model of cities or towns designed and built hundred years ago, the scale of buildings or roads didn't experience big difference in the past years. We feel save living in the artificial world, and, we are escaping from or eating out the outside nature. Maybe only when we stand alone in a wild forest without any human life's evidence, we finally can feel the original fear or the awareness of our tininess as human being did thougsand years ago.

Relation to a larger context

The oldest known paintings are the Grotte Chauvet in France, the paintings show horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo, mammoth, abstract designs and what are possibly partial human figures. These paintings are thought as the respect for nature, or for the gain of prey.
