UNDERCONSTRUCTION
"no way, that's .. deep af“
彼时，一位中国明星因为表演了一段比较娘炮的篮球舞蹈而成为了一个经久不衰的meme。
从艺术创作的角度来说这段舞蹈无可厚非，但是其巨量的负面传播对此明星的生涯和生活产生了非常的影响。此引出一个困扰创作者的问题 —— 传播的不可预测性是否会与创作者的利益发生不可挽回的冲突。

I found this jpg of
a sleepy security guard
on an ad-plagued news site.
It’s poorly taken,
brutally compressed
and posted with an clickbait title.
Why?
a number of
of red, green, and blue lights
arranged in a way that
intrigues blobs of connotations
put together to form the impression of

"gibberish."

but who cares, it's just dramas, right?

So I can secure a spot in the artistic discourse,
squat on the tree, and capitalize my position!
So I assure the buyers this is a worthy investment?
So they pretend they like my works?
So I can hire assistants to do my art?
?
"Yea.."
?
"smile and move on.."
What a serious endeavour ain't it!
Do I act crazy?
Or do I behave scholarly?
Do I speak gibberish, poetry or jargon?
How about my branding?
My social media posting routings?
My relationship with galleries and collectors?
My deligency to produce well-selling works?
Do I do the same type of work for the rest of my life
so I'm remembered as a style, a symbol?
Do I watch motivational videos every day
and "get after it"?
Do I rent a tux to go to private views?
Do I hold a champagne with classy cues?
Do I study
<15 tips for networking at cocktail parties>?
Do I laugh at jokes I can't amuse?
Do I keep a smile on my face at all times?
Till my eyes sore and face hurts?
Under the circumstances of which,
I have to either:
1, bink uncontrollably;
2, keep the lids opened really really hard;
or 3, close my eyes, which I believe can be counted towards social benefits of my profession, I guess
把普通同学的八卦放到八卦杂志里是一种什么样的体验？
被八卦的同学火冒三丈，但是明星就理应遭受这种待遇吗？
人类本来就理应是活在150个人左右的社群里的群居动物，八卦是维系社群关系的一种正常行为。
但是在传媒世界里，明星被生物性地误认为是生活在我们身的社群成员。其八卦便被过度消费。
我们与这个信息世界格格不入的生物性，正在产生很多奇怪的现象。

Until a costumer vocally detests
rhyming in poetries
that reminds her of
the lowly artform of hiphop
she prefers not rhyming
to sound more contemporary,
more classy.
What is classy tho?
As it's such context-specific..
There is nothing in "not-rhyming" that she likes,
but affection to the impression of classy...
but her conception of "classy" comes from things previous classy people liked,
that
passed down the diffusions of information and time,
to became her conception of "classy".
So, it's not that classy things are intrinsically classy
so classy people like them, but in reverse!
"Like" is just an illusion to justify the biological strive for survivability, isn't it?
... it is such a primitive system that
indefinitely
self-explanatory ...
...taste, the sniffer of survival ...
JEEZZ,
I just want to know
whether I should rhyme my poems!!

such hard questions..
subjectivity the illusion stretches to cover my eyes, just enough, always, all the time,
so thin but so sticky I can't know anything for sure!
do I have other choices but to accept the fact this illusion is the foundation of this game?
Do I play the game it was intended to play?
Be carried around by feelings like
I'm not aware, not even there.
Or can I look back at the illusion
through the illusion?
Can I sink my fingers into
it to learn how it works?
This game has just gotten
a whole lot more dangerous isn't it!
Look at this train of emotions
that's coming my way,
I stare it down with a straight face.
You aren't moving me, I'm examining you!
On the verge of unveiling existence,
my palms sweat and my heartbeat races.
So thrilling isn't it?

“所谓为学日益，为道日损。你小子居然在琢磨些这种东西”
彼时，我深深地陷在美学探究的道路上而对我为什么要探究美学或是做设计毫无意识。
我意识到我的知识体系、价值观中存在着很多的不和谐，但是我没有文字去进行表达。只能把这种困惑、迷茫、质疑无意识地编撰进我的设计里。

什么东西都在电子化/线上化。我们通过把婚礼这个人生当中最重要的仪式线上化来反思/讨论/质疑这种线上化的边界到底在哪里。仪式感一直是在线上化的对立面的线下世界的特色，但是如果连仪式感都可以线上化，那这种边界还是否存在呢。美学上面我们使用了很多日常化、本土化、廉价化的视觉原料来进行了一种反映中国正在摸索进行着的现代化初期的野蛮感和人情味与现代化的冲突和水土不服。这种力求赤裸地表现社会现状的视觉语言中隐隐透露出对线上化的讽刺，但是在作品初具雏形之时我们又有了新的体验，我们真的是在讽刺而不是在推波助澜甚至是进行一种投降吗？
