  1. Hi buddies. I’m Christy and my interests in visual art are illustration and printing. I focus on studying Psychoanalysis theory, especially in conscious vs. unconscious, dream, and imagination. What’s more, I try to explore mental illness through my work. I also major in Biology, and I try to combine my biology background with visual art to express my ideas. I don’t have a rich background knowledge in visual art and art theory since I have been studying science for most of my life, but this experience allows me to explore the natural beauty and intelligence, which I’d like to apply to my artworks. I might sound stupid sometimes, but I am trying my best to digest and comprehend the knowledge from this relatively fresh area! After VISA 480 taught by Christine, as well as the development of technology and artificial intelligence, I am more curious about the relationship between technology and human, and I hope to discover more in this course~

    1. Hello Christy
      Not having studied much art has, as everything else both advantages and disadvantages. Art education as in any other fields creates habits that strengthen certain abilities at the expense of others. Follow your intuition as it seems to be your strength. Being open to beauty can open many paths. Goethe says: Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/johann_wolfgang_von_goeth_150505

  2. Space is part of the continuity of the events within it. It is in itself an event, comparable with other events. It is not a mere container. And this is what the few Cubist masterpieces show us. The space between objects in part of the same structure as the objects themselves. The forms are simply reversed so that, the top of a head is a convex element and the adjacent space which it does not fill is a concave element.

    The Cubists created the possibility of art revealing processes instead of static entities: The content of their art consist of various modes of interaction: the interaction between different aspects of the same event, between empty space and filled space, between structure and movement, between the seer and the thing seen.

    Rather than ask of Cubist picture: Is it true? or: Is it sincere? one should ask: Does it continue?

    The interview of Jack Ma talks about the next 30 years in the future, which he discusses of the competition between human and technology. I think this is very interesting to watch. He states that AI doesn’t have wisdom, but human has wisdom, and also human will win the battle at last. He also talks about the data in technology — improve human’s life, support technology. But one day, data would empower human beings. He also suggests governments to change the education system: to improve the education of the soft skills, such as art, sports, music, instead of focusing on knowledge (brain). I think these points would carry out interesting debates/discussions in class.
