  • Ida said "Children grow up so fast they're like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers".

  • The fetish changes from those who take photos to artists and to viewer. They take photos as well, Instagram is a kind of fetishistic domain.

  • Photography escapes definitions, for me it is beyond the point, but like you said, why people want to hang it on the wall? If we look from the collectioner or commercial side, the collectioner wants something to hang on his wall, that's why there were a lot of discussions about Salgado criticizing him of aestheticizing the pain of people. But people want to see a scene on their walls rather than some plain documentary thing. That's why photographs imitating painting in aesthetical terms have more chance to be sold.

  • My mother took a photo of my grandpa before he died with her old mobile. The mobile has a small-size screen, low resolution, so we couldn't transfer the photo. Now my mother keeps that mobile just for that photo. Just like a frame, like a printed photograph. Just because of that photo, the object itself becomes valuable for my mother now.

  • And now, digital photography is considered as the natural continuation of the medium itself. Cos everything in our lives start to exist in the digital environment. We just adapt to its insubstantiality, but we haven't internalize it. That is why we need a fetish, we need to hold some object in our hands.

  • Instagram doesn't become materialized for people, it doesn't qualify as something permanent, but it is just thought as a medium of fast consumption. And from this point, we can return to our initial subject. Fetishization of the photograph

  • There was not a definite or consistent style for Happenings, as they greatly varied in size and intricacy. However, all artists staging Happenings operated with the fundamental belief that art could be brought into the realm of everyday life.

  • It was an incredibly rewarding feeling, because anger is poisonous, not only to the other person, but also to yourself. Now I remember Ulay with tenderness.

  • Mine is purely emotional: it hits you in the gut. That kind of art belongs to everybody; you don’t need any knowledge from before.

  • You have to think about what you’re going to leave society: as an artist you have that obligation. Because if you have a gift, you have to handle it carefully. The gift isn’t given to you personally, it’s given to you to give to society. You have to think carefully about how you’re going to leave meaningful work behind.

  • I think about dying every single day. It’s only when you think about dying that you fully enjoy your life. It means you can’t bullshit; everything that’s not important falls away, and you know death can happen any minute, any time – you are in the last act.

  • In real-time computer graphics, geometry instancing is the practice of rendering multiple copies of the same mesh in a scene at once.

  • It is also referred to colloquially as the "jelly effect" in the motion and UX design community,[3] commonly appearing in UI elements such as navigations and buttons. Metaball behavior corresponds to mitosis in cell biology, where chromosomes generate identical copies of itself through cell division.
    Metaballs
  • In computer graphics, metaballs are organic-looking n-dimensional isosurfaces, characterised by their ability to meld together when in close proximity to create single, contiguous objects.

  • The concept of particles is particularly useful when modelling nature, as the full treatment of many phenomena can be complex and also involve difficult computation
    Particle
  • The term particle is rather general in meaning, and is refined as needed by various scientific fields. Anything that is composed of particles may be referred to as being particulate

  • A map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness.

  • Web interactivity refers to interactive features that are embedded on websites that offer an exchange of information either between communication technology and users or between users using technology
    Interactivity
  • Interactive art is a genre of art in which the viewers participate in some way by providing an input in order to determine the outcome. Unlike traditional art forms, wherein the interaction of the spectator is merely a mental event, interactivity allows for various types of navigation, assembly, and/or contribution to an artwork, which goes far beyond purely psychological activity.[5] Interactivity as a medium produces meaning.[7]
    Interactive art
  • Works of this kind of art frequently feature computers, interfaces and sometimes sensors to respond to motion, heat, meteorological changes or other types of input their makers programmed them to respond to.

  • 「反正暫時先放著，真的不用再放回路邊。我可以理解有些人很用心經營生活，即使在不同城市工作、租房，過生活的方式也不馬虎。我以前的生活是真的滿將就的，好像不管做什麼打算，都不是長遠的，但我現在所有東西都可割可棄，不會有負擔。」

  • 「我可能太早開始畫畫了，一路念美術，我們這種學院出身的會很在意很多事，像是比例、透視，有些東西擺脫不掉。反而自學上來的藝術家，會有自然生長的東西。人都想追求自己沒有的，可能畫風很拘謹的，就會羨慕奔放的，畫風奔放的，就會覺得對方節制乾淨真好。像比利時漫畫家布雷希特．艾文仕（Brecht Evens）那種奔放我就做不到。」

  • The movement was one of the most groundbreaking of the early-20th century as it challenged Renaissance depictions of space, leading almost directly to experiments with non-representation by many different artists. Artists working in the Cubist style went on to incorporate elements of collage and popular culture into their paintings and to experiment with sculpture.

  • Cubism paved the way for non-representational art by putting new emphasis on the unity between a depicted scene and the surface of the canvas.
    Cubism Movement Overview | TheArtStory
  • Cubists explored open form, piercing figures and objects by letting the space flow through them, blending background into foreground, and showing objects from various angles.
