Psychogeography

It’s really interesting to know the word “Psychogeography”. It can be made into deep and thoughtful simply by look throw it and think creatively. When I heard this word, I didn’t get what is psychogeography means, but now I get sort of idea. There is no right or wrong to defined Psychogeography, it’s all based on your thought and your creativity.

Site Specific Performances

This idea makes me to looking back some places that I’ve been before. But, I felt quite happy to find some places inside of school.
Basketball court and roof was really good to have music performance. We don’t feel something crowd, we can feel a lot of freedom and enjoy. I’m the one of the person who is going to have music performance. I feel strong aggressive and I strongly believe that all of students who are going to have performance, they can do tremendous job.

Article: Why Psychogeography?
Guy Debord who was first person called psychogeography, called for an investigation into the effects of the environment (both constructed and natural) on emotions and behavior. I think, it means, whatever we have our emotions and behavior, just put into the art.
I was quite shock at what people does in 1950s and 1960s which represent about Corbusier style modernism. Group of artists, writers, activists, students were attacked city planning as an ideology of organized social isolation. I don’t get why they did that but I guess it’s a part of their thinking and the way they express their feelings.

Article2: Site
After I read an article about site that specific performance, one place was strike me out.
I’ve been this place when I was in UK, this place called “Piccadilly Circus.” If we go this place, we can see a lot of street arts. For example, some people painted themselves and try to act like something or some people came out with some props and do some act.
This place is also famous in UK and has long history.

Skype with Erica
It was awesome opportunity to have interview with her. One thing I felt really fun was we used cloths and have some different act. I put purple jacket top of my head, and tried to be a famous pop star. Although, she want Angus and I were act something images with two different motions. First motion was normal speed and the other one was slow motion, which makes creative.

Short paragrph after wathing BBC documentary

While I watched this short video clip from the BBC documentary called Blood sweet T-shirts,
I found one fact that relates to the book we just read (Travels of a T shirt in a Global Economy). At the end of video clip, the students experienced working in factory making cloth. It’s very similar with Shang-hai factory in the book. They worked really hard, but the payment isn’t that good. It happens in real society too, mostly because they have trouble between their owner and the workers.

Social Sculpture

We had a skype with the artist from Chicago during a class.
Soule Golden, She had lots of time to do fashion works in Chicago.
While we doing interview, We all felt shy to ask some questions it also included me.

Basically what she said was that, if the people who wants to applying art university, portfolio is extremely important. Because, Art is not like show how much do i know or solve some questions like normal subjects. Art has to express and show everyone. When i heard that, i was thinking that i should think about great portfolio. Because, i personally pretty interesting in media.
I haven't decide between business course and media for my major, but i really want try to applying art university for my interest. One of my dream is working in Public Broadcast systems.
So, it'll be great chance to go art university for my dream.

Before i have to decide my school, i think i have to focus on two things. One is get set up a portfolio just in case. Second is make sure all prepare for applying business school.
