My reading today 今日讀書進度

2009-11-11T16:25:00.007Z

was about to start postmodernism... but end with youth culture again!

-Such youthful identity is a matter of looking right (clothes,shoes, hairstyles) and sharing tastes (for styles of music, ways of having fun), and however different such youth groups are from eacg other (differences which have sometimes involved ritual fights - mods vs rockers, teds vs punks) they equally outrage 'straight' society - grown-ups, shopkeepers, the police, teachers, newspapers quick to use such peculiar images (girls with rings in their noses, boys with tattooed heads) for their shock value.

-Shared experiences make for shared needs. Eisenstadt argued that young people seek a sense of stability to offset the experience of change, a sense of self-esteem to offset the experience of powerlessness. Youth culture is the result. It provides a clear set of values, attitudes and behavioural norms to follow whatever else is going on; by acting on youth cultural rules young people can feel good whatever anyone else thinks of them.

-According to sub-cultural theory, then, youth styles are a form of resistance not because the stylists are consiously challenging 'bourgeois ideology' but because in using social signs to give themselves a sense of control over their own lives, group members simultaneously draw public attention to the contradictions in the dominant ideology as it related to their lives.

-Youth groups use their own area of power - their 'free time' - to make a gesture against their lot... Youth subculture can only cast spells against the boring powerlessness of the daily routine, but such magic does have cultural consequences. It challenges the ideology that normally keeps the social machinery working.

My reading today 今日讀書進度

2009-11-09T16:04:00.004Z

-Several important indicators are raised by style. It expresses a degree of commitment to the subculture, and it indicates membership of a specific subculture which by its very appearance disregards or attacks dominant values. Style I shall define as consisting of three main elements:
a　'Image', appearance composed of costume, accessories such as hair-style, jewellery and artefacts.
b　'Demeanour', made up of expression, gait and posture. Roughly this is what the actors wear and how they wear it.
c　'Argot', a special vocabulary and how it is delivered.

-We may use clothing to challenge dominant norms, but we also make statements about our environment.
-Style also indicates a life style, and as such has an appeal to subterranean values which combine to make a visual challenge at both a structural and an existential level.

-Style as a subcultural level acts as a form of argot, drawing upon costume and artefacts from a mainstream fashion context and translating these into its own rhetoric.

-A new style is created by appropriating objects from an existing market of artefacts and using them in a form of collage, which recreates group identity, and promotes mutual recognition for members.

-It has been suggested that subcultures offer, on the one hand, solutions of a 'magical' (that is they appear to be solutions rather than are rather than of a real nature to inherent contradictions in the socio-economic system experienced at some level by the actor... on the other hand, the style of the subculture allows an expression of identity through a deliberate projection of a self-image, which claims an identity 'magically' freed from class and occupation.

-Actors, then, attracted by subcultural reference groups, select those within the parameters set by the social structure which contain an attractive self-image, and an apparent solution to structural problems. In this way actors enter into subcultural interpretations of the dominant hegemony, which presents them with a different perspective of social reality, or sometimes a different social reality. As such they are important agents of secondary socialisation. They introduce the values of the world outside work and school.

-For the young, however (and of course not all the young are involved in subcultures), subcultures assist them in dealing with both structural and individual problems. Some of them, especially in working-class youth subcultures, are transient solutions to specific problems. Others are of a more enduring nature leading to social change. Subcultures address themselves to structural problems, and implicitly contain a critique of society, admittedly often inarticulate and tangential.

The 2nd shoot of the same day 第二次拍攝

2009-11-08T23:37:00.006Z

Date: 10/09/09

Actually about the fabric series, this one was my original idea.
I twisted my idea then we had the first shoot.

However, I quite like the results of this one with little concern at the moment...

The first shoot 第一次拍攝

2009-11-08T13:27:00.003Z

Date: 10/09/09
Model: Ricci

The first idea is about fabrics; something necessary for costumes making.
They are most students, so economical aspect is a issue for them; at the same time, they also wish to have the best look of the character!
Thus, I am thinking about the struggle with price, texture, and the best performance.

Chungking Express 重慶森林

2009-11-07T10:29:00.003Z

I knew this one for a long time! However, haven't really watched it.
To search the point to re-start my project, I watched it last night.

As usual, I like the scene as rough as it presents in front of my eyes. It is a sense of real life, something not very delicate all the time. Colour is strong just like all his movies, for me, I would like to think the heavy tone is a specific humid atmosphere in sub-tropical country. Like my country Taiwan.
Cannot deny that I was influenced by my background a lot when doing my works, especially I didn't come here when young. Maybe it is also the reason I like his movies a lot.
The story, it is always murmuring. The pace is very slow but just like a lullaby; once if you started to listen it, you would be pulled into the melody. There is nowhere to start and it never end. BTW, everyone is so young in the movie lol

Hope this could be a nice beginning :)

Share a good news with you :)
I just entered a competition, and passed the first stage!!
Now they are running the second stage... which is online voting!!!
Please check this link:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/photographyprize/vote.html
My works are the first one from the left of the third row, the little preview image is a yellow beetle car.
Click it and make cure you see my name "Chang-Hui Lee" on the page.
If you enjoyed my photos, please give me your votes!!!

The concept behind the works I selected is about the moment in daily life.
It is a digital and high-tech world, yet the relationship between each other seems colder.
As human beings, I think that the emotions we have is a precious gift; it is also what I would like to demonstrate through these works.

As I mentioned when entering the competition,
“ They are telling you their life, I am telling you my experience, and you can make your own stories”.
I hope the viewers can enjoy the moment in their life.

Thank you all :)

Well... I was about to go pick up my film and visit Photographers Gallery...
But I distracted by Banksy's new graffiti...
Yes, we are all under CCTV!!!

Graffiti is a new thing for me, cause it is not a thing happened in my country.
For me... it makes this city more charming!
Besides, before I really know the name "Banksy", I had already noticed few of his works.

Anyway, to see by yourself is definitely different from to see it from books...
I had seen it once near Chalk Farm Tube Station.
Although I didn't know his name by that time, the picture still left in my mind after that.

Back to the gallery part...( Finally!lol)
When I watched the interview video of the photographer, an elder man started to chat with me.
He mentioned he couldn't figure out those drawing on photos; for him, it looks like the results calculated by machine or computer.
However, while I stared those fine lines... I felt more emotion of the people in the photo.
Everyone has his point of view; art is always goes its own way. Welcome to the modern world!

Some places you may always pass by, but somehow you never get in.
These two are my cases.
Both are near by my uni in Taiwan; I had noticed them for quite some time while I studied there.
However, I didn't try to entry their front door; just enjoyed with my eyes when I passed by...

I finally got into these two places during summer time this year with my lovely friends.

With a romantic name The Pisces,
the interior design on 2nd floor is sort of nostalgic style; reminds me some theme in those old ages.

As it's name "Red House", the whole tiny place is full of red colour...
It's a narrow but warm bar.

Glad I found out more new things in an old place >_@

Term 3 project- Altered State

First and foremost, we had to find a specific area to develop our idea.
Through brainstorming, we came up with a variety of topics that were of interest,
such as how natural disasters change the living environment or how artists transform their inspiration into a visual work;
then, most of our group members were really interested in the mental part, which could be “alter the state of mind”.
By conducting a research in the field of psychology theory and contemporary art, we gradually developed that idea.

In the end,
we did a synthesis of all the ideas in order to visualise the alter ego by creating multiple images.
The final outcome would be a series of editorial photo shoots.
(Quite formal I know... cause I this is a copy from something l handed to uni... lol)

Anyway, we inspired by Surrealism a lot!
Luckily, my friend Skir had a series surrealistic jewelry, so that we decided to work together!
We didn't image the final outcome that much; everyone just did his best, and then we had fun during the process:)

Thanks to those who participated in!
This project is my favorite in my first year.

I was excited about the project, cause music is always an important element in my life.
Of course I chose a song from my favorite Japanese singer-Shiina Ringo!
The singer and her music influence me a lot in many aspect.
However, more difficulties came out when I created images... cause it's a complicated song, what a challenge!

In the end, I liked my works as usual though I was not very satisfied at the moment.
I would like to say it's nice to have a try:)

Just put some selected photo works on now... haven't got time to make a whole album for every piece.
am trying a website as well...
so many things!!!
