CSM MAGCD YEAR 2
References This reference is a documentary introducing Andy Goldsworthy’s natural sculpture works, and I am particularly fond of his use of natural materials for artistic creation. These fleeting works come to life through nature and vanish in the natural cycle. Despite their brief existence, they beautifully capture the essential stages of life—growth, stillness and decay.… Continue reading Unit 3: Projection 1 – Week 2
Recap of triangulating Here we go Unit 3. In last project, I explored how graphic communication design can leverage the potential for emotional engagement and personal narrative in data-driven interactions. And the outcomes of the work include sound visualisations of asthma conditions, publication depicting patients‘ breathing and data visualisation posters illustrating the relationship between asthma… Continue reading Unit 3: Projection 1 – Week 1
During these days, I made significant progress in my writing and studio work. Engaging in a dialogue with Manuel Lima’s Information Visualization Manifesto, I began to reorient my work, critically thinking from the perspective of the audience. Bell Hooks’ discussion and praise of critical thinking in Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom also prompted me to… Continue reading Unit 2: Positions through triangulating 2 — Week 2
I have chosen Manuel Lima‘s ’Information Visualization Manifesto‘ as a reference for my Δ2 Writing project to explore the relationship between the reference and my own position, as well as the new insights I have gained. How can I further develop? For the reference, consider adding visual images or brief titles. As the essay progresses,… Continue reading Unit 2: Positions through triangulating 2 — Week 1
As a response to my work at ∆ 1 STUDIO, this week has seen me delve deeper into the intricacies of asthma‘s pathological manifestations through meticulous observation, thorough documentation, and comprehensive comparative analysis. The practice of ’thinking through making‘ has proven to be immensely beneficial, and the outcome presented will continue to be iterative. Feedback… Continue reading Unit 2: Positions through triangulating 1 – Week 3
Last week I narrowed down my extensive research on climate change to the issue of asthma triggered by air pollution, discussing and researching it in relation to the human lung. As an asthmatic, I know and have personally experienced the pain of not being able to breathe properly during an attack. This week I have… Continue reading Unit 2: Positions through triangulating 1 – Week 2
In the upcoming work, I intend to undertake a more specific and profound exploration, drawing from my personal experience as an asthma sufferer deeply affected by air pollution. My aim is to raise awareness among the public about asthma sufferers, leading to a more serious understanding of the climate crisis and behavioral changes. The climate… Continue reading Unit 2: Positions through triangulating 1 – Week 1
This summer I embarked on establishing a network of relationships closely tied to my practice by engaging in direct dialogues with a guest researcher and a designer. They brought their own research and explorations into my inquiry and responded to my work through a delightful exchange of practical advice.
In this project, I created a video essay documenting and exploring the two open-ended projects, “Positions through iterating” and “Positions through contextualising,” that I developed during Unit 2. It provides a comprehensive presentation of the thoughts, insights, and creative work I have undertaken during this research period.
I used a mind map to organize the research route of the past two weeks, which has made my thinking clearer. Last week, I conducted practical investigations on urban nature, exploring from a micro perspective and documenting three aspects in the form of a diary: natural textures, human erosion, and symbiotic relationship. As the final… Continue reading Unit 2: Positions through contextualising – Week 3
