    -image source from <http://www.chinatraderonline.com/Badge/led-badge/LED-Traffic-Sign–Signal-Light-194440607>
    Since our team project is based upon the theme which keeps moving on, traveling, wandering about different places in Melbourne, the traffic sign would efficiently work to present the user’s will to move onto the other place or stay in the same place.

  • Disposability of new media content

    Blog posts, pictures or video clips in digital camera and even k-film which we are doing in IM1 class are all disposable unless they are copied on physical outlets such as CDs, tapes, pictures, VHS cassettes, film cell strip, etc etc. And yet, even though you have a hard copy of a soft copy, it [...]

  • Murdoch’s Myspace

    <talk talk talk>
    “He bought it in 2005 for $580 million. He is going to lose a fortune, he will get nowhere near that amount back”. -<sox first>
    “At the time, the purchase appeared to be a solid investment. But as Facebook rose to become the preferred social networking destination, users began abandoning MySpace [...]

  • The world is full of ideas

    In W8 tute, we have gone through all the steps that help multiply and flourish ideas.
    After the class, when walking down the stairs, the idea just popped up in my head that the world is full of ideas. How you intend to design the stairs, what texture you want to use for the wall: [...]

  • Trapped nevertheless, tracking down

    Here’s link to the fifth 30 secs video: Trapped nevertheless, keep tracking down
    I tried to capture the emotion of being trapped by filming sky seeing from the bottom squared by the edges of buildings and the sun light coming into the room through partially blinded window. This is recently how I feel about staying in [...]

  • How to create image thumbnails

    It’s a bit late to post on this topic since I already submitted my first korsakow film, but I was somewhat struggling to figure this out all this time(shame), so I thought I would post about it anyway for the record.
    1. Play a video on QT

    Korsakow can be described as a ‘pattern making engine’ using virtual and densely [...]

  • Sketchfilm

    Here’s link to my korsakow film
    Subtitles were used in a way that informs the users as least as possible so that they can build their own imaginary story and experience as they steer through the videos in a random order. To quote the sentence from Barthes’s article ‘From Work To Text’:

  • Korsakow, my first trial.. (failed)

    I inevitably failed to attend the tutorial class this week, so alternatively decided to attend Seth’s Friday class.
    After having checked few other classmates’ blogs on what they have gone through during the class, I felt like I missed so much of important tricks..
    In Seth’s class, I only got 80% of the whole context of [...]

  • Speculation on ‘Wikileaks’ cutural phenomenon

    Unlike many people regard Julian Assange as the harbinger of a new and better age of media culture, there are also dissidents who contend that Assange has done more of harm than good to a global society. Tom Watson, a problogger argues in his blog post that Wkileaks only has the value of entertainment, and [...]
