Fairytale Fashion Show
2010-02-24
7pm - 9pm
Eyebeam
Diana Eng presented the Fairytale Fashion Collection in a technology fashion show on Wed., February 24, 7PM, at Eyebeam. Models hit the runway while an orchestra of circuit bending DJ’s create music from hacked video game consoles.
The Fairytale Fashion Collection uses technology to create magical clothing in real life. Electronics, mechanical engineering, and mathematics are used to create clothing with blooming flowers, changing colors and transforming shapes. Research and development for the Fairytale Fashion collection are shared online at FairytaleFashion.org as an educational tool that teaches about science, math, and technology through fashion. Fairytale Fashion was created with the support of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.
Diana Eng is a fashion designer who specializes in technology, math, and science. Her designs range from inflatable clothing to fashions inspired by mechanical engineering. She is a designer from Bravo’s Emmy nominated TV show, Project Runway season 2 and author of Fashion Geek: Clothes, Accessories, Tech. Diana is cofounder of NYC Resistor hacker group. Diana is currently a resident artist at Eyebeam.
KHL had always used P+S in recent years. Last year he asked for my recommendation for a new P+S and I recommended the Canon G12. But it turns out that he finds G12 to be impossibly difficult to use and he went out and bought a Nikon P+S. Since I am now back in HongKong, I told him to just use my old Canon 10D. He reluctantly accepted because he said that he didn't think that he could use it. I told him that SLRs are easier to use. People always think that P+S are easier — the reverse is true. At the end of the trip I just mount the 17-40f4L on “his” 10D permanently and he was loving every bit of it. Even my old Domke camera bag has new use. This is crazy yes? I bought this 10D second-hand from a friend way back in 2005 when he “upgraded” to his 20D. This baby is still running and is at its 55,000+ cycles—crazy. SML loves awesome Canon cameras. :)
Hong Kong Coliseum (Chinese: 香港體育館), better known amongst the public as the Hung Hom Coliseum (紅磡體育館, 紅館) is a multi-purpose indoor arena, in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was built by the Urban Council and inaugurated on 27 April 1983. The coliseum has 12,500 seats, which is the second largest among the same kind of indoor facilities in Hong Kong, only behind the 2005-opened AsiaWorld-Arena.

Victoria Miro first opened her gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair in 1985. The gallery quickly earned acclaim for showing the work of established and emerging artists from the USA, Europe and Asia, and for nurturing the careers of young artists from the UK. In 2000 Victoria Miro Gallery relocated to a sensitively converted, 8,000-square-foot former furniture factory situated between Hoxton and Islington in northeast London. With exhibition spaces on two floors, the gallery is almost unique in London for having its own garden, a beautiful landscaped area overlooking a restored stretch of the Regent's Canal at Wenlock Basin which has been used to great effect for installations by gallery artists such as Yayoi Kusama.

Arthurs Landing is a group of musicians, all of whom worked at various times in various contexts with the late Arthur Russell, a cellist and composer from Iowa who lived on the Lower East Side for most of the later part of his too-short life. Russell brought together the worlds of dance, pop, and folk with that of downtowns new music, and fused Western and Eastern musical traditions, driven by his engagement with Buddhist thought and practice. He collaborated often with Allen Ginsberg, and Phillip Glass was also an early mentor. Characteristic of Russell's method was his tendency to work hard and long, and he rarely considered anything finished. What was his unending pursuit of the ineffable becomes a challenge and inspiration for the Arthurs Landing ensemble. It is hard to resist the ambition and humor behind compositions with titles like Temple of Meaning, Terrace of Intelligibility, and Hop on Down to Petland. Russell is the focus of the feature-length 2008 documentary directed by Matt Wolf, Wild Combination. A biography by Tim Lawrence, Hold Onto Your Dreams, is due out this year.
The Arthurs Landing ensemble will perform pop songs and parts of a longer instrumental work called Singing Tractors and will be available following the performance to answer questions about Russells life and work.

Autofocus failed. Manual focus also failed. Sometimes the weather is so foggy that even when magnified 10x on the EOS M I am unable to tell whether something is sharp or not. But the blur actually helps here—rendering a dreamscape like no others. So I processed it.
I am trying to find some graduated filters right now, so that I don’t have to keep on fiddling with Shadow/Highlights inside Photoshop to extract some contrast in the white clouds. But perhaps that bit is unavoidable. Might consider doing some HDRs in the future.

I love photographing trash. I started my “Deadyard” series for a few reasons:
1. Often people respond to photography because of the intrinsically beautiful subject matter. I see it all the time. Sh!tty photos of beautiful men. Very popular photography with no inherent photographic value. It is unhealthy. I have a few of those sh!tty photos on my Flickr stream also. I have no idea why they become so popular. People are responding to the person, not the photography. So by photographing intrinsically ugly things the viewer must respond to the photography itself.
2. I am far from perfect. So in some ways these are self portraits. Broken, battered, depressed and left out to die. They are real. This is what life is. When you face life head one and be able to stay your own, you are fearless. I see beauty in everything around me. Life is much more enjoyable this way.
3. I know looking at other photography works that many people also see the beauty of decay. There are far more interesting things, textures, and forms in wasteland. No one really care to organise them. But they are beautiful. Just imagine for a second that these are not trash but forms in an abstract painting. This is what I would paint if I were a painter. This is poetry to my eyes.
Pictured: the trash file left behind on the roof of some storefront in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Photographed while walking on a pedestrian bridge and thus be able to see all the things which were left behind. Completely random, though every bit interesting.

“野水孤舟”
# SML Translate
+ 野: wild, plain, open space
+ 水: water, liquid, river, aquatic
+ 孤: solitary, alone, isolated
+ 舟: boat, small ship
野水孤舟 (Yěshuǐ gū zhōu) [1] is a poem by poet 梁棟創 (Liáng dòng chuàng) in 宋朝 (Song Dynasty) [2]
前村雨過溪流亂，行路迷漫都間斷。
孤洲盡日少人來，小舟系在垂楊岸。
主人空有濟川心，坐見門前水日深。
袖手歸來茅屋下，任他鷗鳥自浮沈。

1. Baike: 野水孤舟:《野水孤舟》是宋朝梁棟創作的一首七言律詩。有國畫題識：野水無人渡，孤舟盡日橫。 baike.baidu.com/view/5662435.htm
2. Wikipedia: ZH-HK: 宋朝（960年—1279年）是中國歷史上的一個朝代，根據首都及疆域的變遷，可再分為北宋與南宋，合稱兩宋。因國君姓趙，又為區別於南北朝時期之南朝宋（劉宋），故亦稱「趙宋」。又因五德終始說，宋朝為火德，故又別稱「火宋」、「炎宋」。宋時北方政權契丹和西夏以宋朝位處其南方，稱其為「南朝」；西夏又因宋朝位於其東南，特稱其為「東朝」。 zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/宋朝
2. Wikipedia: EN: Song Dynasty: The Song Dynasty (Chinese: 宋朝; pinyin: Sòng Cháo; Wade-Giles: Sung Ch'ao; IPA: [sʊ̂ŋ tʂʰɑ̌ʊ̯]) was a ruling dynasty in China between 960 and 1279; it succeeded the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period, and was followed by the Yuan Dynasty. It was the first government in world history to nationally issue banknotes or true paper money, and the first Chinese government to establish a permanent standing navy. This dynasty also saw the first known use of gunpowder, as well as first discernment of true north using a compass. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_Dynasty

On my way up to the peak, I walked by a bridge and I thought that I would check out what is underneath. I like exploring places where I am not supposed to go, and I enjoy finding abstract forms in the trash.
Photographing trash—aka my “deadyard” series—is important to me. I do that as a reaction upon seeing photographs of beautiful people and beautiful objects which are themselves not beautiful. By choosing a subject that is intrinsically ugly, I attempt to force the viewer to react to the composition alone. If you remove the subject matter you simply see images as lines and space things will be more readily appreciated.
This capture contains a diversity of forms which contrast each other as if they are having a dialog with each other. That is interesting to me, but I am not “normal” and as such I can never predict how “normal people” will react to the things which I like.

J, a friend from New York who taught me about “active piles” for people with ADHD. He also showed me how thrilling it is to ride in a motor cycle. I rode motorcycles at the back of his. Those were the only times I’ve been on a motorcycle. It was a lot of fun.
He showed me how thrilling it is to feel alive. It might be why I eventually went skydiving. I want to feel. And I felt for the first time when I rode on a motorbike.
I didn’t keep a lot of friends in New York, but I consider him to be one. He’s one of the very few people in my life who never mind my chaos. I let very few people see my chaos — I know that you’re a good friend when I let you see mine.

Landform is a land art locate at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, Scotland.
#landart #landscapearchitecture #charlesjencks
Created in 2001, this installation combines elements of sculpture, garden design, and conceptual art to create a visually captivating and intellectually stimulating experience.
Charles Jencks is an American-born architect, landscape designer, and architectural theorist, was known for his pioneering work in postmodern architecture and landscape design.
His approach to landscape architecture, which he called “landforming,” sought to synthesize sculpture, garden design, and conceptual thought.
Jencks believed that landscape design had a unique quality of being the most “cosmic” of all arts, allowing for a deeper connection between humans and nature.
Key features of the work:
1. Design
The work consists of a series of grassy, terraced mounds arranged in spiral patterns, surrounding crescent-shaped pools of water. This design creates a visual link between the gallery’s Modern One and Modern Two buildings, which are situated across the road from each other.
2. Inspiration
The shapes and forms in Landform are inspired by natural phenomena such as waves, clouds, and geological formations. Jencks was also influenced by fractal patterns and chaos theory, incorporating these complex scientific concepts into his landscape designs.
3. Functionality
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Landform serves multiple purposes:
- It provides a striking backdrop for events at the gallery.
- It offers a platform for viewing the gallery’s outdoor sculpture collection.
- Visitors can walk and sit on the terraced paths, encouraging interaction with the artwork.
4. Recognition
Landform won the prestigious Gulbenkian Prize for Museum of the Year in 2004.

S: Do I have to wear a suit?
L: I would prefer if you wear a suit.
I: How do you not have a suit?
S: If you do what I do, you don’t need a suit.
L: It’s fine, you can just come as an artist.
I intended to buy a suit at the beginning of April just to make L happy, but I really don’t have time. Hopefully this is good enough. Mostly posting this to see if it’s “ok”, and if it’s not good enough, I’ll try to go shopping — but I can’t promise if I really would have time because I need to be working (LOL).
This is a jacket from G-Star Raw, one of my favorite brands in the world. With Keith Haring tshirt picked up from Uniqlo. I love his art because I feel that I understand him. Line art is simple but beautiful — it’s beautiful because it has only the raw essence — it’s the Bauhaus philosophy from my art education. You’d know why I love Keith if you really know me.
This is a self portrait, aka a selfie. I was controlling the Canon EOS R8 with Canon RF 24 f/1.8 Macro IS STM mounted on a Manfrotto tripod, through the iOS app Canon Camera Connect.

Arthurs Landing is a group of musicians, all of whom worked at various times in various contexts with the late Arthur Russell, a cellist and composer from Iowa who lived on the Lower East Side for most of the later part of his too-short life. Russell brought together the worlds of dance, pop, and folk with that of downtowns new music, and fused Western and Eastern musical traditions, driven by his engagement with Buddhist thought and practice. He collaborated often with Allen Ginsberg, and Phillip Glass was also an early mentor. Characteristic of Russell's method was his tendency to work hard and long, and he rarely considered anything finished. What was his unending pursuit of the ineffable becomes a challenge and inspiration for the Arthurs Landing ensemble. It is hard to resist the ambition and humor behind compositions with titles like Temple of Meaning, Terrace of Intelligibility, and Hop on Down to Petland. Russell is the focus of the feature-length 2008 documentary directed by Matt Wolf, Wild Combination. A biography by Tim Lawrence, Hold Onto Your Dreams, is due out this year.
The Arthurs Landing ensemble will perform pop songs and parts of a longer instrumental work called Singing Tractors and will be available following the performance to answer questions about Russells life and work.

Two white seagulls fly in pairs across the sea in a quiet afternoon. The first thing I thought of is how much it looks like the X-wing [1] from Star Wars.
We are often amazed by the imaginations of the artists in sci-fi movies, but if we look closely in the world around us, we would see that inspirations are in fact everywhere.
# Notes
1. X-wings are fictional starfighters from the original Star Wars trilogy and the expanded universe. They are depicted as the primary interceptor and dogfighter of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. The craft has been merchandised as a variety of toys and models and licensed for use in games, novels and comics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-wing
