LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1_An ability to resolve work according to the objectives defined in your proposal
Video ‘Number 1 London Bridge’
Quoted from Post-Pages:Text for video ‘Number 1 London Bridge’ Saturday, May 9 2009
On the arena of grass surface of Number 1 London Bridge, people come and go, ship comes and goes, London bus appears and disappears. This is the Matter world. Antimatter element is always intervening through the Matter world, though we never notice. It means ‘Matter and Antimatter are two sides of one coin’ I wanted to express this intervention of Antimatter element to our world in the London Bridge video work of mine…..

My project proposal undertook a major change during the course, because the original proposal, was ‘Anti Plastic Campaign’ expressed in Performance ‘Fish and Plastic ’ in which the fish is dying due to eating up plastic debris. At the end of the scene I put ‘Mantra’, chanting ‘OM’. That was my attempt to create a transitional link to ‘Antimatter’ from ‘Matter’ world. This was what I focused mainly in unit 2.

Objectives – one objective was to become proficient with video editing techniques. Started with the motivation of editing myself for my performance video in unit 1, and moved to create video itself in unite 2.
2_An ability to articulate and debate issues pertaining to digital representation and presentation in relation to audiences and professional contexts: It was most exciting practice to me in the course. I enjoyed to present my video to audiences and to get feedback from them.
need to discuss:
How my work will be seen?: In the solitary room in complete darkness
Why am I showing like this?: To the purpose of revealing Optical illusion and blinking Antimatter intervention.
Why use video?: Moving image video has most appropriate function for my purpose.
Importance of ‘after image’: ‘after image’ is close approximation to express for Antimatter.
Video ‘Optical illusion creates after image’. Link to:

what do you want the audience to go away with?: I want to share my belief with viewer of which is that Antimatter is always intervening in the Matter world, though it is beyond our sense perception.
- 3_Practical skills in negotiation, organization, promotion and realization hosting of an exhibition whilst working as a member of a team
Reflect on the show organization: Within digital arts practice peers created diverse outcome; Noel’s installation work in empty main corridor transformed into creative space, Zai’s experimental sound under the light effect is unique, computer expert Tim’s final piece is surprisingly
sculpture while computer expert peers exploit advanced skill in their field and I perform ‘Fish and Plastic’ at private view.
what are your thoughts about where you are showing?: The space of my show is based in the small dark room from which continues across the corridor to the wall of opposite the door. From screen monitor to the wall is spread with red cloth of about 50 cm width.
How is the whole show curated?: According to individual need for their art work to exhibit in best way applied.
4_An ability to analyze and reflect critically upon your own and others’ work in the context of current practice
Artists statement:

Other artists that you have looked at: Alfredo Jaar, ‘The Sound of Silence’ at the South London Gallery (16|2|2008 – 6|4|2008) influenced me largely to employ Studio flash lighting on my project. I was so impressed on his work and now I trace back in its recollection.
