Notes & Quotes from two articles about Hiroshi Sugimoto(杉本博司)

[1] Art:21, (2005). Artists speak: Hiroshi Sugimoto. School Arts, (105.3), p.14. HS: “Memory, and replica. Photography is a system of saving memories. It’s a time machine, in a way…to preserve the memory, to preserve time.” HS: “…to me, photography functions as a fossilization of time.” “Central to Hiroshi Sugimoto’s work is the idea that photography is a time machine, a method of preserving and picturing memory and time.” (Photography artworks are a kind of archive as well.) / [2] Georgievska-Shine, A. (2006). Hiroshi Sugimoto. ArtUS, (13), pp.18-19. “…Sugimoto ‘s own reference to himself as a ‘pre-postmodern modernist,’…” “Sugimoto’s intense focus on…

Practice of Digital/Web Archive

We had a lesson of creating web archive on 28 Feb this week. Valley and I work together to create a blog and name it “Point in Time” after exploring the connection between the photos we took. Honestly speaking, we didn’t think much of the blog and just post a little text on it with our photos. However, this blog which contains only 13 pictures gains likes and is followed by some other blog users. (WOW!) This makes me surprised that how the little TAGS can work! Please check the blog if you want to see what we did and…

恐怖的教學評鑑來惹???

非常幸運的,我今年剛好遇上課程五年一度的「教學評鑑」,於本週四舉行。 學校的行政單位發了一封信給我們,邀請我們、也徵求我們的同意,參與教學評鑑中的「學生座談」部分。聽說會提供三明治(午餐),和學校及他校邀請來的評鑑委員坐下來,聊一聊這個課程的狀況。過程就像免費的口說練習,應該十分輕鬆愉快(老師說的哈哈)。 這樣的評鑑每五年舉行一次,目的是為了評估這個課程是否是個「健康」的課程。

成績與比較:我們能不能找到自己的絕對位置?

※警告:內文有些許批評,閱讀過程中若有任何不適敬請見諒。 ※「相對位置與絕對位置」名詞解釋請參考: 地理位置(維基百科) 今天收到第一個project作業的成績了。成績好不好我不知道,因為還不熟悉英國的評分方式,一切要等明天和老師一對一的討論之後才會明白到底這次的表現如何。但我發覺收到成績之後,心情愈來愈沉重。

Evaluation of DTCI Project

At the beginning of our first project: Deciphering the Creative Industries (DTCI), Hannah gave us a checklist for our personal values to help us develop our project. When I was ticking the values from the checklist, I noticed that I would like to do something related to “Family”, “Inner harmony” and “Pleasure”. Based on the initial values, the idea of “Record your story” was more and more clear after the brainstorming mind map. Also, after I reviewed the existing journal article:  Collaborators in Dreams, I chose to further explore the area of illustrated books. However, I didn’t realize that I…

來英國滿月囉!

從1月5日雙腳踏上大英帝國土地的那一刻到今天已經一個月了!(我活下來了!耶!!!) 值得開心的是:今天不只是「滿月」的日子,我也在今天如期、提前一日完成了第一個project的所有作業(各位鄉親,這是前所未有的事啊!!!)。
