From Insa-Dong

I went Insa-Dong yesterday to look around the photo galleries. These days, we have an exbibition called 'Wake Up' hosted by Kimyoungseup Gallery. And also Gallery Lux, Gallery Now were following Kim youngseup the most renowned photo gallery. In fact, Photograph was considered as applied or secondary one, not a serious field of fine art even years ago. Of course, there are great photographers such as Andres Serrano, Euge'ne Atget, Ansel Adams, Bill Brandt, Gyula halasz Brassai, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eanst Hssa and so on who dedicated themselves to the considerable and insightful photo art history. By virtue of their devotion to this realm, we think of photo as a big part of fine art. Futher more, even conventional artists have expanded their domains into being more adventurous and experimental, with have photo, fabric or any other objet put in their frames. Technics and Phenomenon which painting invades the territory of photo and vice versa are not strange to u

In the middle of 3GPP meeting...

Nowadays, I have attended 3GPP meetings. It has been 3rd times since I first go abroad to join 3GPP in Shannhai last October. It is because the 3GPP is the end of its period that I become to think that the standardization is not quiet related to 'Advanced Research Area'. There are so many topics even in only RAN1 area. However, when it comes to the research topics in SAIT, only the very small area in RAN1 is related to what we have been doing in SAIT. Most topics discussed here are signaling issues related to controling format, how to report CQI/PMI, and rank something like that. These are quiet 'Standardization Issue', not the research issues what we have beending doing in SIAT. Before I leave Korea, my senior boss, VP asked me to remind the purpose of the business trip. However, whenever I have presentation for the business trip in front of him, he asked me more than I could and more than someone could get from 3gpp RAN1 standard meeting. I'm nowadays quiet confus

'China town' cooperating with mid-1970s

Let me think about my favorite. One of them is 'China town' directed by Roman Polanski in 1974. Faye Dunaway and Jack Nicholson were starring in this movie. I watched this again in 10 year. Its story seemed to be gloomy as well. Jerry Goldstein's music also made me dreary over the film. I didn't want to encounter this again. However I was drawn by it automatically as some metal would access to magnet. Faye Dunaway went back her hay day when she functioned as 'Femme fatale' apart from her recent movie 'Bar fly' that let me stunned. We can guess Roman Polanski must have been pessimistic when he took this moving picture which was made just after his wife's death murdered by Charles Manson the false religious leader. If everything had been fine around Polanski, This movie might have had a less desolate or dismal end. But it was in the mid-1970s when America was about to consider the military withdrawal and had no choice but to accept of the defeat from s

Find your flow

Does immersion lead us to better life? Csikszentmihalyi, the author of 'finding flow', says that's right. People usually think superficially that we would be happy when we are provided with enough time and money. However I would feel ill at easy even when I listen to music, read books or take a trip, theraphies which are generally advised to busy persons. I know the reason why. The reason is because I do not like those activities much . On the contrary, I feel worthless on myself when I just spend my time on passive fields and consuming jobs. Some people wish spare time to kill much more than now since they suffer from short time and hard work. Probably, they would be satisfied for hours or even days. However, sometimes, we get lost ourselves in the middle of complicated intersections, not figuring out where the right direction is. Everyone put their own gravity or importance on a different scale. Each one has so various capacity or size as to emphasize on different concept

FLUXUS Group

Fluxus means the flow, continuous change, move in Latin. It is a international Avant-garde art movement which extended over 1960-1970. George Maciunas created the term 'Fluxus' as the tiltle of magazine in 1962 for the purpose to acknowledge the trend refusing the traditional art form or style. Fluxus tried to be apart from the art market, mechanical style or physical aggregation. Instead, it is more psychological and liberal art group, pursuing bohemian freedom than working together for a same target. It was not a systemic organization but a sort of timely remarks for individual or outsider. It started in German and spreaded to Japan, other European countries and America. This movement caused the interchange without border and genre. Conseqently, this groups started to form various art styles and affected to genres such as concertos, events, publications and so on later. However, generally, this was a genre-free, country-free movement and tried to develop more ideal and bigger

Cooperating with the future

These days, we more think our idea is being formed by others than the past. If your blog have been popular or sensational, you must have welcome lots of visitors everyday. Sometimes, they may remain their ideas or explanatory information to your blog. Of course, you cooperate with them unconsciously or consciously so that you can produce a new blue print. Despite our being shyness, we are exposed to the heavily populated world inside web. We can meet new faces, exchange information, create ideas, which these elements may help us make new business or knowledge. We can enjoy surfing the net everyday and checking necessary information. These activities make us cleverer and smarter than before. We seem to be a sort of a world citizen in times. Subsequently, we can't help refusing the power of web. Recently, I heard from a friend that he would immerse himself online much more and open himself toward the sea of the Internet. However, I worry he may be absorbed by this technology which is
