    1. This is a photo of the living room of our home in China. There is a set of wood chair that my father loves on the right side, TV on the left. Our balcony where two turtles and several plants live is right in front of the scene. With the lights off, the room is dark, we can see the outside clearly. It is 4:12 in the afternoon, my father was walking towards the balcony. Typhoon was coming towards our city, every scene has melted into a deep deep blue. The scene is so romantic and familiar to me for I’ve been living here for so long. I always feel like the air in China has a kind of a soft texture and the wind has its particular smell. To see this scenery after a long time study abroad always makes me so calm. I feel so connected to this photo every time I look at it from my phone. It is not something that I need to memorize on purpose but it lives in my head deeply. When I create art, it will show on the canvas, on the sketchbook. I always feel like the art that we made are the clues to our essence, you can find everything in it. I have found this special blue color in my dorm and it tells me a different story.

  1. In this class I’m intending to learn about combining daily lives with technology in art but I’m confused about what we are going to use to create art? Is there limitation for forms of creating art?

    Information drive the actions — not the case not how the world works

    Freud: unconsciousness
    Image:deeper influence, certain power
    Cigarette: challenging man power, symbol of penis, women smokes will have their own penis
    Propaganda=bad / use new work for propaganda of freedom and good things / power of words
    Ads made women smoking acceptable in public

    The diary that I made are mainly personal emotion related. Anxiety and boredom are the emotions that I felt a lot during this week. (a feeling of insecure, unsure about what I should do with everything) This is the first time that I have ever made an E-magazine, it was really fun to use mix media to cooperate with my self-expression. It is also very important that with a book format, I am able to control the pace of reading and watching. Every page represents a day in this week.

  18. http://newhive.com/iiyashee/what-can-we-create
    To answer the question of the relationships, I would like to use a question as the answer. The question “what can we create” is the focus of this work and I used my mother language for the question I brought up. In Chinese, “what can we create?” is “我们能创造什么呢?”. This sentence will appear repetitively in the work and create its own space.
