Original Response/Calibration Factor

The ‘Response Calibration Index’ (RCI) reflects the level of affectiveness imposed by social media contents to its users. In each of the day recorded, the higher the index, the more fluctuate the emotion undergone by the social media users.

*This calculation method is developed during the research for my studio project.

Book making: experiements

 

Mockups (Japanese, kettle stitch and perfect binding) for ‘only those we’ve encountered, existed.’ (2018)

Tried different binding methods and grids for the book and decided to use kettle stitch binding. Tracing paper will be used for the session starter pages as a hint on how emotion react with the contents.

I have been capturing and arranging Facebook posts that I’ve read since January this year for my project. So recently, when the Cambridge Analytica incident fermented, I have been thinking about the nature of my project, and what my intention to record those information has to do with the life cycle of social media (identifying a need→born of an idea→establish of platform→thrive→new problem→disposal whether the whole platform of certain values→reidentifiying a need) reveals by the incident.

I must have had too much time to watch through the whole two-days congress testifying (aha!) but it pretty much tells the world about the nature of the business that ‘could not be categorised’. (werunadswerunadswerunadswerunads)

Apparently, the reality is, as it always have been in these days, more dramatic and severe than what creative individuals trying to create in their works. A renowned actor and one-act comedian in Hong Kong announced his retirement last year because “there isn’t a need for one-act comedies anymore”. The city, or at least his audiences, need not get to know the preposterous reality through his plays anymore.

So we have been living in an age that we are so influenced by Freud’s modern physcology and psychoanalysis without actually knowing it, creative works and productions are deeply affected by his studies. Here, The Victorian Web suggested Freudianism’s connection with literature by bringing up a method of investigation: (1) treat literary works from the vantage point of psycho-biography; (2) search for “obsessive” repetitions within the work; (3) look into Freud’s comparisons between dreams and poetic language & structure. The following questions had been asked by the author:

What do we learn from Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez’s Slow Institutions

New worlds could be created in response to traumas of the past and present.

In the lectures on two symposiums on the idea of resilience (also her curated show Resilience: U3—Triennial of Contemporary Art in Slovenia in 2013), Nataša Petrešin gave an emotional pursuation to art institutions in retreating from progress-driven modes of living and thinking to what I interpreted as ‘ecologies’ that establish connections between all memebers of institutions whom being seen as living and breathing organisms within each habitat.
