Tokujin Yoshioka's 'Tornado' installation in 2008

thought about some intimate space with chaotic composition... and found this again.
interactive spatial environment simply created by straws ( of course millions of straws...).


soft but concrete.. intensely arranged but with extremely light stacking position...

'... This is essentially a 19th-century concept, even if human decision-making has been replaced by computational decision-making. Natural systems are quite different. Most sensing, decision-making and reactions are entirely local, and global behavior is the product of local actions. This is true across all scales, from small plants to large mammals. When we run for bus, we do not have to make any conscious decisions to accelerate our heartbeat, increase breathing rate and volume, or to open our pores to regulate the higher internal temperatures generated...'

work by students of michael, membrance spaces in shantytown - informal and communal conditions.

it's so great about the injection of irregular flexible but kind of technological evolved constituents into this causal situation. and the informality creates union effect to the town with no communal regularity.

[how it is] in tate modern.
darkness, fear..

eyes - the sensuous organ which gradually rules the entire body sensation in the recent decades, were being shut off in the installation... you can see nothing but darkness, which always be defined as nothingness..... wow it's just too awesome, non-visual awesomeness!

system thinking

media station in deichmanske library, oslo

made by students from AHO, HFG, as well as collaborators from OCEAN.
initiated as a system-thinking design process, the geometry was a result from extensive research system.

great geometry and very comfortable interior spatial composition, resulting nice environment or sound. but the seat is a bit far away from the screen and the touch-screen really sucks.

Art Wars Hong Kong vs. Singapore

art follows money in hk, they came for the money and investment.. without injecting art or creative industry into lifestyle, and without the local art scene and community as initiator... paying hkd500 to watch a drama or orchestra will still be the way to appreciate art.

can that actually be regarded as a fight? the two places are in totally different perspectives.


"....A 1989 Singapore government report cited the "importance of culture and the arts" not only as tools for nation-building and to generate revenue for the tourism and entertainment industries, but to "enhance our quality of life."....

...In 2007, Hong Kong became the world's third-largest auction market after New York and London, partly because of its proximity to mainland China and the emergence of China's deep-pocketed collectors. That put Hong Kong firmly on the global art-commerce map...."

天安門肉身擋坦克男 谷歌中國重見天日

(法新社)2010年1月13日 星期三 19:50

法新社北京13日電） 網路搜尋巨擘「谷歌」（Google）矢言違抗中國網路審查數小時後，中國谷歌」（Google.cn）今天能搜尋到攝於1989年天安門事件，為當局所禁的「坦克男」照片。

谷歌昨天宣佈，鑑於網路間諜的攻擊與中國網路審查制度，將不再過濾網路搜尋引擎的搜尋結果，且可能撤出中國這個全世界最大的網路市場。

1989年中國鎮壓天安門民主運動期間，一名男子勇敢站在整列坦克車前方的照片，一躍成為全世界的頭條新聞。天安門事件在中國仍非常敏感，這張照片也遭查禁。

利用Google.cn搜尋，可立刻看到這張照片。中國另一熱門搜尋引擎「百度」則無法找到這張照片。

達賴喇嘛（Dalai Lama）及遭禁的宗教團體法輪功等敏感主題的搜尋結果也重現谷歌，但在某些中國入口網站也能找到它們。

中國當局藉由龐大的審查系統，來阻擋它所認定的政治不正確資訊。這個系統被戲稱「中國防火長城」（the Great Firewall of China）。

谷歌表示，來自中國的網路間諜企圖侵入世界各地維權人士電子郵件帳戶，明顯是沖著谷歌及至少20家未指名公司來的。

法新社（AFP）記者目睹許多民眾今天來到在谷歌位於北京的中國總部，表達對谷歌的支持；有些人還攜帶花束。

一名不願具名的女子說：「我們是一般的谷歌用戶，來這裡表達謝意；我們想展現對谷歌的支持。」

有些網路用戶則對谷歌可能撤出中國一事表示沮喪。

熱門入口網站163.com針對超過1萬4000人所做的線上調查顯示，將近78%的人表示不願見到谷歌退出中國市場。（譯者：中央社鄭竹雅）
