inspiration, perspiration, and desperation

(risknfun) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 11:15:40 -0500

The quote "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration" by Thomas Edison just came up. A moment of brainstorming an idea was really exciting and enjoyable, however, the later 99% of effort to make it real was utterly exhausted, stuck, painful and not fun at all. During the agony, I asked my that I did have 1% of creative inspiration and falling down to a thought that I only executed the 99% of tedious effort and the last 1% of blank was filled by desperation. - Oct 5, 2005

I wrote the above paragraph on my diary when I was working on a project called Find the Spot. Now, I think I somehow enjoy the 99% of perspiration and the last part is filled with inspiration rather than desperation.

Darkness surrounds me when I turn all lights off. Then stars in my room appear.

Life

is not easy.

and my blog is not working well in firefox.

it's time to say good bye to many memories.

although thanksgiving holiday doesn't mean anything for me,

it was always a good chance to follow up.

let's concentrate on my own life.

Dali

(risknfun) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 18:35:00 -0400

The focus on this Dali MoMA special exhibition was film. I've been to Rome's and Seoul's before and it was different. When considering it's power, I'd say the Rome's was the best. I dreamed a nightmare at the night since I had got too much shock.

Dali's works has a magical power that stops me to take a look wherever I see. He is not my favorite artist but I don't think his works are awkward or disgusting. One thought is that I should do many works in many ways.

Anyway, the MoMA exhibition was quite disappointing. I may visit several times more to look at a slow tempo but I basically don't like a film. Looking quite ugly edited video, I think my coding could be work even if I did not so good when it has a great concept.

after nature

(risknfun) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:20:00 -0400

New museum is a contemporary museum. It's difficult to understand, feel that one may say why this is art. Last trip to Europe, the first city, the first museum, the first piece of art was a horse by Maurizio Cattelan. A news that the horse is coming leads me to the museum. Artworks described an after the civilization. A decayed angel, human remains which helps a dead tree stand.

An impressive thing was performance of a girl on the floor. A thought after quite long observation was that was she showing prepared movements or random movements. There might be some difference but I think the both are originally same. A body the girl has was only one and she may definitely have familiar movements with the body. An important thing is a process that breaking the familiar barrier.

I usually visit MET when I feel I'm lost and pay $1 and wandering around, especially alienated rooms. It's been a while to visit modern and contemporary galleries, and there was a shark of Damian Hirst. Turner was not good.
