[Week 11]

I looked at the works on the WARE site several times, making posters for special lectures. Although it didn't help me much in making posters, WARE's site served me as a source of understanding of special lectures because I'm not good at English. My favorite work was E.A.T., which was presented at the Microwave International New Media Art Festival in 2019.Being interested in one work naturally made me interested in other activities of WARE.

Last summer, I saw a combination of media art and painting at an exhibition by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. When I saw the work, and before then, I thought that the exhibition using media art had a limitation that it was nothing more than a photo zone.

Because of this, as a person majoring in digital media, I have always had concerns about media and exhibitions and used to appreciate other 'formal' art more. But after the special lecture, I completely changed my mind.

I realized that I had a narrow view, highly valued formal works and exhibitions. With the advent of new media, the appearance of works and exhibitions is bound to change. This is just a new trend, not a decline in the status of art or a turn of events into a bad one.

[Week 10]

To be honest, I don't have much knowledge of computing or coding. So I don't know what kind of machine I can make using breadboard and soldering. All I can think of now is what I want to implement through my own machines.

1. As the media changed from video art to sound art, I decided to put what I was interested in into my work rather than making a work with a specific message. Since it is easier to implement sound than video through my own machine, I decided to stick to expressing what I was interested in.

2. In the last Sound Art assignment, I made a work based on the sound of rain. As I've been saying, the sound of the rain or the sound of the water purifier brings me comfort. I want to convey to the audience the comfort I feel.

3. At the same time, I would like to add visual effects to my sound art work. In this case, the best way is to use direct video transmission, but it is assumed that there will be some problems in implementing it. Maybe I can use the lighting method.

4. What lighting can I use? According to my research, LED lights that can control color can be connected to a breadboard. Wouldn't I be able to convey my feelings more effectively by using the color lighting that gives me comfort with the sound?

[Week 9]

Raindrop

I've been listening to the water dripping for weeks. What does the sound mean to me, how it was handled before I learned about sound art, and how it impressed me. The sound of water dripping used to bring me comfort. Is it because it reminds me of my childhood when I was sitting by a stream near my house? Is it because of the shape of falling from top to bottom and the sound of hitting the uneven surface gives comfort? For any reason, I've been recording a video of a rainy day for quite some time. On a day when I couldn't calm down, I wanted to melt into the sound by watching the videos. The sound of rain falling was like music and tranquilizer to me.This fall, when I'm busier than ever, has begun to have other things in my daily life instead of the sound of rain. Forgetting how I felt comfortable, I increased the dose of medication to soothe my impatient mind. Where there should be the sound of water dripping, there is the sound of medicine bags, and the sound of medicine rolling. This sound art contains my desire to find comfort in the rain again. At the beginning of the video, the sound of crumpling a medicine bag and rolling a medicine are added to the sound of rain, but the video is filled with the sound of real rain in the second half. While the sound of rain was recorded with the video, other sounds were recorded through a microphone made by themselves. In addition, each video and sound was edited through Adobe Audition and re-applied to the video.
