First Project Outline
Deadline 18 November 2015. Word count 1500 max.
Tentative Title
Yuan/Completion
Introduction
A general introduction laying out your plan for your first project. Be as specific as possible about the form you imagine the project to take and answering the following points.
It would be more like a live performance, combining with moving images,installation and light effects. The documentation of if could become an experimental short film as well.
What are you working on now?
I am learning 2D and 3D motion graphic design and some basic electronic knowledge like synthesizers and micro-controllers. They will play very important role in my future project.
What do you want your first project to be?
Describe in as direct terms as possible what you want to make.
It would be more like a live performance, combining with moving images,installation and light effects. The documentation of if could become an experimental short film as well.
How do you plan to make it?
Describe how you will go about conducting your research through reading, writing and practice. In other words, through a combination of these approaches, you will explore questions or interests you have laid out in your general introduction. In this section you can help us understand how your project will come together on a practical level and talk about possible outcome(s). Of course, the outcome(s) may change as your research evolves, but it's important to have some idea of how your project might come together as a whole.

Why do you want to make it?
- About the specific images/ storyboard:
I haven’t decided yet…
- About the conception of Completion:
My inspiration is from my best friend’s name—Yuan. After her mom remarried, she renamed my friend as Yuan, hoping for a state of completeness in their future life, and never being separated. People want the sense of completeness, which is different from perfection. In my point of view, perfection is an unreachable state and people cannot control it, but completeness is artificial, people feel it then they get it. However, completeness, in some perspective, is equal to emptiness. So I want to compare the physically broken to the physically completed.
- About the images:
I want to create a world, with a mixture looking: out nature world and cyberspace.......
Who can help you and how?
Book tutorials and ask members of staff questions related specifically to your project. Also share knowledge with your peers.
a. Micheal & Barent & Andre
b. Pleun, Nadin = Graphic Design part
Yuchen = Electronic and micro-controller part
c. Mu Xiaolong
He is an artist who is very professional on micro-controller and synthesizers. I can get the real practical knowledge from him.
c. Real Zhao
She is studying film-making in Pairs, who is also one of my best friends. Her bachelor major is photography, during our bachelor time, I cooperated with her for couple of projects, we are tacit. So I will finish the whole project with discussing with her, and she will be one of the photographers of the on-site part. Since she is in Paris, we could meet each other face to face quite easy, and the other time, we could communicate online.
d. motion graphic designer friends of mine, for the motion graphic problem.
Relation to previous practice
How does your research connect to previous projects you have done? Here you can use the descriptions you made in the first session
Relation to a larger context
Meaning practices or ideas that go beyond the scope of your personal work. Write briefly about other projects or theoretical material which share an affinity with your project. For example, if you are researching urban interventions, you might want to research about Situationist approaches to psychogeography, urban tactical media and activist strategies of reclaiming the streets. Or, if you want to explore the way data is tracked, you might touch upon the politics of data mining by referencing concerns laid out by the Electronic Frontier or highlight theoretical questions raised by Wendy Chun or others. (Keep in mind that we are *not* expecting well formulated conclusions or persuasive arguments in the proposal phase. At this juncture, it's simply about showing an awareness of a broader context, which you will later build upon as your research progresses.)

References
A list of references (Remember that dictionaries, encyclopedias and wikipedia are not references to be listed. These are starting points which should lead to more substantial texts and practices.) As with your previous essays, the references need to be formatted according to the Harvard method.) Feel free to include any visual material to substantiate, illustrate or elucidate your proposal. For example use images to reference your work or that of others.
