Food For Thought: Science, Culture, Color

August 13, 2009 :: Category - Thoughts

So many scrambled food for thought day, I feel a new inspiration coming from Richard Dawkins…. watching many of his lectures on youtube, it’s sparking up my interest for science again!

#1) Science is the mover for culture today: how is culture being shaped by science? How does this in term effect the purpose of art in the 21st century?
I shall elaborate the rest with a lovely painfully long essay after digging deeper :)

#2) Color Schemes: Design & science: Walking down Shaw Street today, I noticed a lot of colorschemes that work well (not only according to their tone or color choices, but more importantly, the color proportions) are all right infront of our eyes in nature. I will post examples and observations after I get the visuals together.

I made a video for friend’s project: Moments Like Today. The project encourages users to record and share a moment of their day to other group members.

Music and Memory

August 10, 2009 :: Category - Thoughts

I had a random thought this morning:
Just like photographs, videos and journals, I never really thought about music being another way to store memory… maybe it’s because I don’t do it deliberately (like taking a photograph with the purpose of preserving a memory).. but can it be controlled? Can I or do I seek out music to store my feelings, so I can remember the feelings later on?

To memory:
The photograph is the denotation
The music is the connotation

*Photographs: They are not only denotations because there are many that truly capture the feelings of the moment. However, they do illustrate the context/time period very well

I’m a bit slow since my symphonies were written to store my memories of past events, and only after listening back to it can I vividly remember when I write it and what the story behind them were about.

Where can this be taken further?
