Picture a day (Ultima Mudfox)

Picture a day (Ultima Mudfox)

I believe that this piece is interesting as it is unknown to most humans. Art exposes us to the new similar to that in the case of science, philosophy and technology. However this is a mixture, combining science and art together to present the new discovery (Mudfox). We may be influenced by the new, taking ideas and inspiration. The element of curiosity appears when one looks at something that is new. The mud fox was a creation of human irresponsibility towards nature. Technology has influenced and corrupted nature. Whatever the artist has shared figuratively is what's happening towards the animals in nature, its just that its not so futuristic.

From Singapore Art Museum Odyssey exhibition

I think the artwork was well thought through as we Singaporeans who are city dwellers could be the cause of the flower's existence. (artist states that these species of flowers often attach themselves on surfaces of factory machinery rooms, basements of old buildings and other high human populated areas) The artwork has a futuristic sense of direction. The flowers may be a result of human's decision to live closely together . Ironically they too live together.This has a scientific approach in explaining the artwork. The analogy i would like to point out is that the flowers are like us ,humans. They communicate and live closely together for better survivability.

Picture a day (A Short History of Man and Animal)

From the Singapore Art Museum Odyssey exhibition

I view this work as an outcome of the failure of saving the earth from global warming. I believe that the artist creates a double imagery of a whale's skeleton and human rowing a boat.This is a reminder to spare a thought in saving the earth through a guilty conscience approach.The artist provides a visual example to make it more realistic of the outcomes that may occur. An analogy I wish to point out is the whale's skeleton. The whale's skeleton similarity to death is an outcome of Man's irresponsibility in looking after the environment. Another would be the whale's spine looking like a group of men in a boat.

Amy Tan :Where does creativity hide?

-Childhood trauma
-Feeling and experiences, have to become the story
-Questions are part of the creative process.
-Death is a major plays a major part in forming creativity as limitations and questions that cannot be explained.
-Every experience is an inspiration (creativity)
-Creativity is used to explain the ambiguity in the world.

10x2 mindmap (punk rock II)

On an intimate level the punk rockers may have been insecure with themselves.By creating a new identity, they would feel that no one can judge them, because there is less thought about the new trends.The hairstyles aren't the only fashion statement, their dress code resembles that of the young street kids. Always trying to be trendy wearing either the branded or the easily identifiable wears.

This is what we feel as a group

10x 2 routine week 5 (Punk Rock)

Punk Rock 

From this we see teenagers all four of them with spiky hairstyle, similar to that of a porcupine. Some of them have a mohawk haircut.Then we would wonder why on earth do they have that hairstyle? Don't you think its awful?

We have formed some ideas and have came up with the following. They may have wild hairstyle due  to their shouting while singing? It may be a sign of rebellion towards society. A new trend that started out? Something that didn't follow convention. We believe that this is one such example of breaking the rules in that period.
