SHARED SPACE: Thayer's new building — shown here as a conceptual image rather than a final design — will architecturally express the spatial and programmatic intermixing of engineering, computer science, design, and entrepreneurship, with open vistas, shared facilities, and thematic rather than departmental groupings.

Perfect Shots of Imperfection
60 photos
These are snapshots.
Many of which are compositionally contrived.
They are snapshots.
"Essential (essential for the subjects in it to remember and reminisce over)", "obligatory-social-shots", "spur-of-the-moment captures".
Some of them i think i will never forget.
Some of them i already stopped liking.
Some pictures are the only pictures i have with them.
So I went through an editing process with these photographs/ snapshots.
I cropped them, made them grayscale, adjusted the contrast levels and burned in on required areas.
All these to turn an "imperfect" snapshot into a "perfect" photograph.
Each photograph is an attempt to remember, to capture a moment of the time spent together and the relationship shared between.
One person i dated,
A couple i had a crush on,
Very few i have absolutely no clue why we took a picture together,
Six are family,
Some i had a connection with,
Many are really good friends,
All, i spent a moment or moments with.
The snapshots-photographs are very telling in many ways.
There is almost always a reason for the way they are composed, for the number of times they are taken and why they are taken.
However, the exact opposite is true as well.
The snapshots-photographs have a way of lying.
At a glance, it is not easily discernible which person i share the closest relationship with. Some friend of friend of a friend in a moment of dare and/or drunken-high, gave me a kiss, an act so physically intimate that is beyond the cultural confines of the asian family. Three people "closer" to me than any of the people in these photographs yet i have no picture taken with them during this period.
And the ultimate lie is, unlike what is suggested, all these snapshots were taken moments before a goodbye.
Some moments have yet to come, some moments are soon to arrive, but many have already passed.
Regardless, "a goodbye", "a farewell", "a departure", whichever way you would like to term it, is a phenomenon not usually greeted with smiles and laughters.
Yet in every picture without fail, notions of happiness are portrayed, not a tinge of sorrow.
Why?
Why do we throw parties to celebrate someone's leaving?
Is it really such a happy occasion?
Or are we celebrating something else?
Why do we bother showing each other so much affection and spending so much time with each other knowing all these emotional investments will reap no returns?
Are these actions superficial gestures?
Or are these actions beneficiary on another level of consciousness?
Why do we cry at the departure hall of the airport but smile when facing the camera for that last group picture?
Are sad moments unworthy of documentation?
Or perhaps these moments are not sad?

"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.
CicLAvia, October 2012. Hundreds of happy cyclists sharing space. How many more human beings do you see here than on the car-dominated road in the distance? (California average: 1.2 persons per car.)
