FOREWORD how to paint the sensation or record the fact?
Personal Content
Sometimes I would like to take any pen and draw everything around me. Anything, any plate floor or a piece of paper, even if the tall wall. For me, it seems that all of people could make as easy as possible as they could. But, if I ask myself to grab a pen and think carefully such like what for doing this at that moment or seriously concepts etc, I think this creativity would make a wonderful moment for our living life, and our lovely environment. And so on, it could make everyone to own their individual style to enjoy by themselves. When bumping into Art and Design, I did get some confused that I trapped myself to the deep black hole that could probably be made by my poor confidence. I used to forget to transmit the feeling which should be made by audiences, not mine. According to facing the paradox between Art and Design for several years, I finally realize that there even don’t need to emphasize the relation between both of them, but keep going to combined the beauty of them.
010
The origin of Art and Design all came from our creativities. No matter which opinions from Art and science professional persons, psychologists or physiologist etc., what we talk is coming to “solve every problem� with our life. However, do we know the exactly problems in our life?

Open My Mind I had a strong sudden instinct that I must be alone. I didn’t want to see any people at all. I had seen so many people all my life -- I was an average mixer, but more than average in a tendency to identify myself, my ideas, my destiny, with those of all classes that came in contact with. I was always saving or being saved -- in a single morning I would go through the emotions ascribable to Wellington at Waterloo. I lived in a world of inscrutable hostiles and inalienable friends and supporters.

STRANGENESS— the Woven Matrix Uncounted DAYs CHIAO TUNG NATIONAL UNIVERSITY 2010 Thu. 27th May - Wed. 23th June
Notes “Yesrterday is history. Tommorow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.“ ----------------------------------------------Alice Morse Earle

001 STRANGENESS—the Woven Matrix
I quote a passage from Alice Morse Earle, and then woven by women based creation itself. Selection of material is easy to break down and tear these papers. With the intention of the vulnerability of human emotions are tough match, but these power between the strong pull and strength would have had a non-weak moment to extend out of its paper strength.
Content Summary In community life, it is inevitable that a lot of body language, or with a particular intimacy between those actions. These touch came from the body and limbs. But frankly I can not face these close action even if ask me to be acceptable. Most people always look forward to the parents who could encourage ourselves. For example, when being agreed, clapping affirmed, or even touching the forehead to ask if sick or not and so on. I do not know when to begin that I have no attention or care whether it can get satisfaction in this area. Instead, according to early childhood, we are not satisfactory for bad at doing schoolwork, we were remembering all the bad feelings such like not to accept close touch or sometimes the body caused by theft punishment and etc.

Then for a long time, it gradually faded away on the physical interaction with their
families. For the love of my home just seems to a human bliss of love comes. No matter what I do, my family would still love me. Because of this, my family is no longer based on my behavior to the love of my molding. However, not only physically and coordination still exist, but also as an invisible bridge separating the heart of the conversation during my family.

THE AURA OF BAPTISMtypoface ”F” 14 DAYs NATIONAL YUNLIN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 2010 Mon. 28th June - Fri. 9th July
Concept Photographs are the evidences of the interaction between photographers and events. And scenes are a kind of construction of history. the way we use photos is to bring them into our daily life, conversation and memories; we deliver our love by reflecting with pictures. A photo is still because the time is cut off. A sketch is also still but the difference is that it contain and show the time.
022
002 THE ARUA OF BAPTISM—typoface ”F”
We explore by simulating between true and false and wander between familiarity and strangeness. After losing control between imitational reality and real imitation, we try to find out the space to breath and live. By using strings to drag the emotional nerves, it is a way we show feelings.

Our life can bring lots of possibilities even if it unlimited. The Greek mythology will be
described the Greek gods by using the humanity on these gods’ personality. Even if we know the perfect man (or God) will have a part missing angle, and we all should know the most important thing is Life forever. The process of Life is to recreate the possibility of our new world. In the early of the era , it has been really let us experience the so-
called non-perfect. The non-perfect that we thought about could represent “the beauty”. However, the so-called beauty, that is, let the world continue to operate.

Created by the important rela-

Not only does two nations always get fight between each other, but also everyone would argue or have some misunderstanding with other people in our entire life. If we don’t try to solve our problem
For some reasons, it also was based on the insight that everyone has to bump into some uncomfortable feelings and to figure out what we are exactly concerned with or thinking, even if loathing.

t seems like you’re making something that you had done it before. This isn’t fleeting nauseated for some hair. It’s going to be there for a long time, and it’s going to help change the way people think about a lot of things that are important to our own memories and cultural heritage. Hair was having a life .I don’t want people to feel very horrible or accursed. To keep the experience visually rich without unkindly interactive. So I put a chair in the middle of this desk and wished to invite people who could come and pass by ,and then have a seat. This is what making some different experiences with this installation.

but the experience I got from there is very valuable. Because that our dean of the design college take this workshop very serious, everyone who can participate in this workshop was selected from hundred of appliciants. There are 6 members of our team, 4 of them was came from MIT, and they are impossible to use Chinese to communicate with us, the main assignment of this workshop is to design something to improve the environment quality of the Dazhi community (our campus is located here).Together, we overcomes the difficulty of discussion, spent a lot of sleeping time to achieve our project, and presents that to whole student and faculty in our school.

Women’s life can be metaphorically switched as white noon which not only the cre-
ation of life, but also the magical power which still going. In early time, women’s bodies were made as a beauty model. No matter fresco, sculpture or modern art, women were fit for presentation of beauty. Otherwise, they who have the great talent to make life be going can balance some atmospheres between Yin and Yang. Going into the field, we can not only experience the feelings of reborn, but also return the origin of the life. We chase after all kinds of different from the others, whereas we all looked the same in Mother’ warm places. However, this installation used the dogs’emunctories to metaphor as negative emotion that was from men. For now on, every breath that we did is going to be expected to look for some forgottenemotions and that still used to be the Mother’ warm place we had left.

In the third section is the multimedia installation The Shadow Island (entitled “島嶼闇影” in Chinese or “die Schatteninsel” in Germany).

007 S CHATTEN—Multimedia installation NO.3
The ships are lit intensively by the fire imagery from the projectors. The burning
flames on the surface of the ships, ceiling, walls, and floor create chaotic, but amazingly beautiful visions. The temperature of fire should be high; the commotion of the fire should be out of control. However, in this isolated, enclosed and tunnel-like space, it is much quieter and colder than outside. The sound of dripping water and the whispers of “Do you see the fire?” penetrate the space and the audience. The question leaves the audience room for personal interpretation. Every year in July of the Chinese Lunar calendar, there is a festival called “Burning the King’s Ship ” held in Taiwan. The purpose of this ritual is to send the evil spirit, or the spirit of plague, away and so hope for good to come. In the past, Taiwan had been ruled by colonial governments. Now, Taiwan is at the crossroads of an unstable political situation and has no clear or certain status in international society. “On fire” could be used to describe the current political situation of Taiwan.

LESS IS MOREIssue 14 DAYs Workshop YUNLIN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2009 2010 Poster NO.2
There were a couple of young
students I’ve used to teach in the past. One day, the girl came to visit me, exposed the scar on her arm by accident. In a flash it seemed to have something on her arm. I got confused what I’ve seen. Nevertheless, I saw a red, very long scar, and then I told myself to watch them carefully and made sure. I didn’t expect that it looks like some kind of the romantic words cut by her “boy friend”… We’ve been modeled to eager for love since we were young. By and large, we are under the different cognition, children’s premature promise seems to be so clear that anyone could see and understand. “Love”, “Beauty of life”...that kind of things are from our social system, being transformed to the language they know...
I can’t help starting wondering whether the child is full of love, or short of love?
048
Here is the story : ‘I wish
for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, to inspire families to cook again and to empower people everywhere to fight obesity.

So far, picking up the crayons and trying to face of the emotion generated when painting on the canvas. Including, the roar of the subconscious mind seems like to explode in every moment. And we can’t deny that in the process of creating, these would be a comfortable and clean expression.In a way, like the U.S. one of the theories art therapy is specially emphasis on “art itself is a treatment”. When placing until deep into ourselves screens, and listening to our voice, we believed in such a way that best represents the most pure of ego.

G.T Fechner said :’ One Object
must have diversity of unity in order to give a pleasant sensation.’
T.Lipps once said:’ Experienc-
ing the difference is more pleasant than the similarity between each other.’
Does the invasion of vision make you pleasant? Or does the discomfort of the graph make you happy?
066
We saw multiple-shown graphs, perhaps in the vision of complanation, which limit the space to the white space of graphs in front of us. It is uncomfortable because the white space in the graphs is gradually filled with the black color. A lot of details erode away the white color, the compulsive violence of vision, which make the audience feel the total different pleasant of vision. The human being has an instinct of invasion, which also makes people live longer.

Temporary pleasure
Art reconstructs our daily life, helping us rethink
our value of exist , and the real feeling of that . Even we study one man’s personality development by various methods, like psychoanalysis, or so. I find it’s difficult to treat ourselves objectively. People have their style of behavior to enjoy their own life.I know what is mine, which changes all the time and works harder to make a big process.
