I started my idea from wires and electric equipment. Electric equipment such as computers and televisions used to have a lot of wires, and it looks really messy when the number of wires becomes large. However, as far as those wires are well connected, the equipment works well so that people who use the equipment may not get the feeling of messy even it looks messy. What I want to express is that something disordered might be in order in another aspect. This is interesting because this is a harmony between two totally different feelings. We could feel this kind of harmony in our common life like messy cloud in the neat, blue sky. We would feel comfortable even if those two kind of opposite elements goes together.
I tried to make a video with two different feelings and combine it with some sound effect but iphone is really not a good tool for making a video. I am not able to make the video I want, so I change my idea about the final piece again.
I come up with an idea when I was trying to redo my Micro Project 5. I used the effect of mosaic in MP5 and I do like the idea of mosaic although that makes my MP5 a failure project. I like the feeling of those small segments in the picture. In my opinion, those segments are caused by some barriers, and these barriers do not look weird in the picture. We do not think those barriers look weird because we do not notice them. They exists in the picture and divide the picture in some segments in harmony.
I took two sets of pictures to express those barriers in our life. The first sets of pictures are photos of a tree in from of my dorm. I put a piece of rice paper in front of my camera and took the first picture. One can barely recognize that as a tree. Then I took the second picture with the barrier of window-blinds. The tree is more clear now. I took the third picture with the barrier of window and the barriers become less and less. The last picture is my favorite. I took it with the barrier of screen window and the result is pretty close to I said. The barriers exists in harmony.
The second set are pictures of trees. I choose those trees in south oval because I could take iron fence into the picture as well. However, I choose light as barrier instead of iron fence because I want to tell that we sometimes do not notice the real barriers in the pictures. At first, I choose the same angle for all four pictures and all those pictures have the angle of picture two. But the barriers of light is not that obvious in that angle for the last picture. So I change the angle for my last picture and generate that picture in the final piece. Since the angle of the last picture changes, I change the angles of rest three pictures as well. Among these four pictures ,the last picture is my favorite because I do take light into the picture and make this invisible barrier visible. Besides, the audience may not be able to find out light is the real barrier with the last picture.
