Breaking the Space

The first line is that I had no idea what I was doing; I just saw a magazine, cut out the material, and pasted it on the paper. I felt that the image was a bit empty, and maybe I could draw something to make it richer.

I started to find my form in the second and third lines. There are more elements in the picture than just one element in the first line. But there is still white space in the whole picture. I think this certain amount of white space looks good. The combination of reality and fiction breaks the sense of subtext.

This is one of my favorites out of all the collages. It gives me a feeling of escape. More and more novels and films these days have a plot : The protagonist finds out that she is a character in a book and wants to break her established fate to change the future. In this collage, you can see the second person on the left escaping from where she should be and leaving the text behind her. I thought about my research into experimental vocals in experimental music in SSSA. I seem to like the theme of ‘disruption,’ something that doesn’t follow the established trajectory.
idea1:
Maybe this work will be like the previous ones, trying new concepts or perhaps trying something not so new.
Idea2:
Escape from fate (like random music?)

Carbon Scape

Chinese artist Chris Cheung has produced a sound installation, Carbon Scape, which simulates the sounds of jet engines, ship horns, steam, chimneys, and other carbon emissions and mixes them together to create an immersive sound exhibition.

The kinetic soundscape installation, which includes 18 magnetically synthesised sound samples, was created using data obtained from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) to help visualise the effect. According to their findings, CO2 concentrations soared in 2017 to the highest level in the last three million years. The data shows that much of this increase can be attributed to industrialisation and the use of fossil fuels.Chris Cheung collected these noises from sound sources that leave a carbon footprint, such as: the sound from jet engines, steam from factories or the stern of a ship. These tracks are fused into a unified soundscape, with the black sphere rising and falling as the sound is made to represent changes in the carbon of a particular part of the planet.

He satirizes the current phenomenon of random emissions and calls for attention to be paid to the issue. I think it is a good idea to combine the work with some social issues. It’s a good idea to show the social issues that exist and to present them in an artistic way. People will appreciate the art and think about social issues at the same time.

A Sunday on La Grande Jatte

A Sunday on La Grande Jatte

This is one of my favorite paintings, and it always gives me a wonderful feeling when I view it. When I first look at it, I feel that the whole painting is carefree, as if the sunlight in the picture penetrates the paper and makes you feel lazy and drowsy on a lazy afternoon. Whether it is the colors or the person lying comfortably on the grass is very restful. But when I stare at the painting for a long time, this relaxation becomes still. It feels as if nothing has ever happened in this world and nothing will ever happen again, as if time and space have remained here and all the people and things, even the sunlight, the breeze, and the dust in the air, are frozen on the canvas. It is a very strange feeling, and it is difficult for me to describe what I feel in words. How this painting is painted is also very unique. It is called pointillism, which is colloquially known as ‘pixel painting.’ The painting is 3 metres long and 2 metres high, with millions of coloured dots all over a canvas of about 7 square metres, all manually painted by the artist. Even the borders around the painting are painted with dots. I am impressed and find it incredible that it took a lot of time and effort to complete this painting.


I have a few ideas


Idea 1: Give the viewer two senses (?). For example, the visual and auditory senses are completely at odds, or the auditory senses are the visuals…


Idea 2: pointillism, pixel painting. The first thing that comes to my mind with pixels is pixel games. So I could add some game sound effects to it or something? Or maybe combine it with technology… Robotics or something like that.
