Project Two-Concept Idea

Initially I had come up with an idea of using Kelburn Park as my site. The reason behind my selection is that, lots of people use the park for activities and sports. And I could capture the change of movements inside this static site.

There are several different angles I could try out to see the different experience the audience might get. There might be characters on the field, like ordinary sports men, soccer stars, people jogging, playing crickets and people having a picnic.

During the class we have today we discussed how to have a narrative through our story with a conflict. Two characters, a hero or a Verlaine can carry out the conflict. I thought about the important sports matches as my guideline. In my story I might have a sports hero saving the team from defeating. The Verlaine While the team was losing with two goals deficits, the captain of this team took his responsibility, later had two assists and a goal. The game finished with a hero defeating the opposition team.

War on Ideas(project one video)

This is a thirty second video I have made to prevent wars. In the first few seconds of the clip, audience can see clear distortion of images, one symbolise democracy(statue of liberty), the other symbolise autocracy(kremlin). The crashes of the ideas had started the conflicts between contries. And a imaginary of Nuclear War was triggered, many people were the victims of this war.

Then the screen pulls back to reality, which this war has never triggered. The whole idea behind the clip I have made was to show what could happen if there was a nuclear war and what people will suffer from it. Finally, nothing bad had happened, everyone(farmers, workers, people on the streets) back to where they were.

Blog Response

Information on internet websites is from a same source(s). Just like the water coming down hill from a mountain. The quantity of internet users increases as the time pass by, so does the water running down the mounting will increase its volume if its a rainy day. As the amount of volume increases in the main path, there would be some leaking paths formed. Same as the online community we are living at. There are examples of SMS (instant text messages0, flickr, Google, Yahoo, Facebooks and so on. These sources then will be edited again in people's web spaces worldwide to enable access to the others. Just like the music companies have remixed some of the artists music works in a new style or variation. That is what we call this century, the Information Age.

"If a traditional twentieth century model of cultural communication described movement of information in one direction from a source to a receiver, now the reception point is just a temporary station on information’s path. If we compare information or media object with a train, then each receiver can be compared to a train station. Information arrives, gets remixed with other information, and then the new package travels to other destination where the process is repeated. "

Looking back into human history, each culture or time period has remixed with others to improve itself. There are no big differences between musicians working on their variations of compositions and designers working on their remix of websites or the other way around. The difference between the slow new original Architectural solution and the fast internet websites (or blogs) is qualitative and quantitative.

Finally, every possibilities come together to form new kinds of media, just like first tape camera later transform into a digital camera, walk man become an iPod, www becomes part of our society.
