Art gallery and Auction

The tradition of Korean art gallery is very short and shallow, let alone auction. It is known that the beginning of gallery started from 1900 in Seoul. However, it is true the gallery under the modern meaning opened after 1960s in Korea. Even though the history is somewhat poor compared with western part, we can't ignore the right function of the gallery : the exhibition, the sale of art works, the support for artists, the education for viewers and the like. The association of galleries must have been proud of its dedication to Korean art market and art level. It have connected collectors to artists and tried to show the high standard to the public. Above all, it had no an enemy or a rival to compete with for a long time. At last it had a competitor : Art auction. Seoul auction appeared in 1998 and K-auction in 2005. Since then, galleries tended to lose its place as a main post of its field while auctions became healthy and obese. Instead, the auction started to encroach on the te...

About Korean Art Auction

Now, we welcome the boom of Korean art market. Differently from the past, many people are concerned with buying art works or art itself. We attribute the skyrocketing of interest mainly to art auction. In spite of side effect of an excessive heat in the market, we can't deny people started to pay attention to art by virtue of the auction. Given that some think of art just as an object of investment or speculation, this overheated phenomenon of the market is interesting no longer. However, at the same time we can't not but accept its right function: The audience focus on art at any rate. We have never had the time before which art was considered as one of big issue in our society. Every day painters are introduced in newspapers and broadcasting news. Some of them are regarded as great stars and their works change new records in price. We just had only one-Seoul Auction- even before 2005 when K- Auction started its industry from. And this year we came to have more auctions such...

Gauss's theorem

Sometimes, the principle of ecosystem extends to the object-economy theory. Gauss's theorem is a representative strategy of competition which borrows the fundamental truth within ecosystem . Today, I will give you an explanation about Gauss's theorem. Gauss, a Russian scientist, conducted two experiments. First, he put two animals in same space whose family was same but species were different. Their nest was conditioned to have insufficient food. He observed what would be going on inside the small room. Despite occasional quarreling, two animals managed to survive, sharing short meal. Second, he performed an identical test of same family and same species. However the result was completely different. They fought severely and knocked to death each other. Gauss called this phenomenon the survival principal by differentiation. The more similar they are, the more they fight. Consequently, being alike demands intensive competition among contestants. For additional knowledge, there is...

The nature of cooperation

Yesterday night, a friend told that people usually cooperate well with an new comer or unfamiliar person rather than an intimate neighbor. It reminded me of one Korean proverb : I am jealous of neighbor´s success or An envious man waxes with the fatness of his neighbor. The more we appreciate these witty remarks, the more we are disappointed with selfishness of human being. So, some people tend to be pessimistic about a cooperative attitude between A & B. If we always have a competitive spirit to the core, is cooperating just false? Another friend had an answer. His view point is very clear and accurate. He announced that we should accept the jealousy within people. However, since we are based on a sense of selfishness, we try to maintain the peaceful achievement. Because,we do not want to harm the job or the relationship we are related to. And he said it will open the way to a cooperation. I think second friend also took a gloomy view about people. But he has an ability to transfo...

Cooperation for wireless network

Up to now, wireless networks has been developed to make users compete each other. For instant, the user scheduler in the cellular network selects the user whose wireless channel is the best of all. Therefore, each user report his status as accurate as possible. He doesn't care other user when he report his channel quality. Even though his channel is good, if he continuously report his good channel quality, the other use whose channel is worse will receives much lower speed data. Consider the case the high quality user becomes in bad condition, his receiving performance will be also bad. Therefore, we need some cooperation to avoid this phenomena. One emerging way to avoid this inequality is to use cooperative diversity.
