fluid memory

admin — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:28:55 +0000

Fluid Memory is an iPhone game and an instrument. Same principle with “Simon”, the game is based on memorizing a series of notes and the associated buttons. Buttons are bubbles in water in this case, and the complete set of bubbles make up one octave. During game mode, the Fluid Memory works in rounds; game shows a sequence, then the user repeats it. if it the repetition is successful, then the game shows another, longer sequence by appending the previous series with a new note. Scoring is based on the number of consecutive successful repetitions and repeating speed. In free play, there are no rounds or scoring, every bubble is available to play and it is possible to play polyphonic tune within the range of an octave.

Fluid Memory is unfortunately not on iTunes Application Store anymore, because it was stated that using the word “memory” was a direct reference to the product “Memory”. “The sum of which was a 6-digit figure” was enough for me to step back.

library music

admin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 01:12:02 +0000

My university had a great library in many aspects, including its architecture. The gigantic dome above works like an amplifier and it is possible to hear every single sneeze, page turn or crumbling cookie. So eventually I ended up playing the flute there at night, for several times, with friends.

Pieces are From the Beginning by ELP and Scarborough Fair by Simon & Garfunkle.

dreamworks (2)

admin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:30:13 +0000

Two photo-manipulation works I did for photography course. My aim was to produce something that was as personal as it can be, so I tried to re-create two of my dreams. First one is about a friend of mine, who makes a failed attempt to morph into the moon. Second one is the “almost lucid” one, in which I realize it’s a dream and try not to wake myself up.

self portrait 2 (3)

admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:13:20 +0000

With this self portrait series, I tried to depict the things those define me, in the way I perceive them. I tried to visualize the gaze of my sight by the use of panoramic stitching and tried to emphasize the importance of objects in a given environment by the size, blurriness and intensity of color (e.g. the out of focus and gray half of a room, which I never use. I have lesser visual information in my mind and this is more or less the level of detail I can recall). There are also some deliberate details, which are probably only readable by myself. Because of the way I handled “self portrait” concept, I believe that was necessary to keep it faithful to my own perception.
