Maybe next week. I am also trying to get used to using my new camera, which is a Canon PowerShot G11. It's a powerful little thing that offers amazing user-friendly control/knobs. So, so easy to change settings etc., which played a huge part in my decision to purchase that particular model. It seems like it's built like a tank, and it is to some degree ... but it does feel plasticky and hollow in some places.<div>PS: I'll be posting a lot less in this blog and more at my <a href="http://zixinwong.posterous.com">posterous page</a>.</div>zi xin wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06676860310965260042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234066117272386529.post-65304871047785140842010-03-11T14:23:00.002+11:002010-03-11T14:26:09.303+11:00Late night fun with felt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S5hiSWOLpLI/AAAAAAAAAeo/mVxO1F7x_UQ/s1600-h/Untitled-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S5hiSWOLpLI/AAAAAAAAAeo/mVxO1F7x_UQ/s320/Untitled-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447211816646845618" /></a>Just some fun to pass the time and make things, really.

Babies are such beautiful things, aren't they. So I started drawing. First in pen, very simple line drawing as I usually do. The baby on paper then suggested (in the form of a thought bubble) we should all reset our moral compasses. That drawing remains in my sketchbook.</div><div>Then the pencil, just a quick 10min drawing:</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4poRwt6jgI/AAAAAAAAAaw/Rk_ytlQtaKU/s320/scan_10228235151_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443277753975213570" /><div style="text-align: justify;">I wonder why we were taught, since a child, to draw and represent things using lines.

Even though it doesn't feel like it, it is home by default - I spent the first 12 years of my life there, and my family is there. I remember a teacher in high school in Singapore saying we should embrace being 'third culture kids', and I certainly see the merits of being one (although, I dislike the labelling) ... but it has its disadvantages. I won't start, though.</div><div>This post has turned out to be a little personal (unintentionally), so here are the photos:</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6zhEUs8I/AAAAAAAAAao/Hb_abEwYqEk/s1600-h/DSC_0634.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6zhEUs8I/AAAAAAAAAao/Hb_abEwYqEk/s320/DSC_0634.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443227756354909122" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Plastic firecrackers, and a paper lantern</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6zfO5drI/AAAAAAAAAag/s3yDT9FNt9k/s1600-h/DSC_0554.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6zfO5drI/AAAAAAAAAag/s3yDT9FNt9k/s320/DSC_0554.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443227755862390450" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">A miniature incense burner</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6zDg9ucI/AAAAAAAAAaY/Ql_azynU7IQ/s1600-h/DSC_0561.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6zDg9ucI/AAAAAAAAAaY/Ql_azynU7IQ/s320/DSC_0561.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443227748421974466" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">A peculiar little letterbox</div></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6yjTG7nI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/6mqW_Zy1zYw/s1600-h/DSC_0558.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6yjTG7nI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/6mqW_Zy1zYw/s320/DSC_0558.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443227739773922930" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Chinese chives</div></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6yRujfWI/AAAAAAAAAaI/PqU-mdKJKE4/s1600-h/DSC_0403.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4o6yRujfWI/AAAAAAAAAaI/PqU-mdKJKE4/s320/DSC_0403.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443227735057202530" /></a>The next post will be less fluffy.*</div><div>*This I cannot promise.</div>zi xin wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06676860310965260042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234066117272386529.post-41349785764207762122010-02-24T21:37:00.008+11:002010-02-24T21:58:43.381+11:00Revisiting Ricky Swallow<div style="text-align: justify;">I spent this afternoon revisiting Ricky Swallow's The Bricoleur at NGV Australia. Everytime I go back, some pieces just get more and more beautiful. Each time different pieces speak more to me than others. I suppose a large part of that is because his body of work is very personal, but universally relatable.</div><div>Like many others, I also enjoy the special little nook where books and the exhibition catalogue have been laid out, and you can read whilst listening to a selection of music that Ricky Swallow personally picked out. The musicians are ones featured in his watercolour, <i>One Nation Underground </i>(2007). The watercolours are quite special (one of my top picks is definitely Tim Buckley) ... an definitely made me want to pick up the brushes and start working with some watercolour.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4UFshzx7xI/AAAAAAAAAZw/Pbc5vWCbYf0/s320/thumbnail-4.php.png.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441761987295047442" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 155px; " /></span><div><br /></div><div>Today, particular attention was given to:</div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4UEWOXk5EI/AAAAAAAAAZo/YjaW0kMavCc/s320/thumbnail-3.php.png.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441760504607728706" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 253px; " /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Killing Time </i>(2003-2004)<br />endless amazing details to discover, endless fascination ...</div></span></span></i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4UEPtlWenI/AAAAAAAAAZg/6bu1oJun3wA/s320/thumbnail-1.php.png.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441760392727919218" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px; " /></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Caravan </i>(2008)</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4UD3nS-oZI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/J-VWYK5nWcs/s320/thumbnail-2.php.png.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441759978723385746" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Flying on the ground is wrong</i> (2006)<br />incredibly delicate</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S4UEHkVCjII/AAAAAAAAAZY/26EJlqe7YO8/s320/thumbnail.php.png.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441760252804631682" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>The man from Enchinitas </i>(2009)<br />oh the story behind this is miraculous, the translation from narrative to artwork through process and <b>medium</b>, is absolutely beautiful</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All Images from Swallow's <a href="http://www.rickyswallow.com/work/">website</a>.</div></div>zi xin wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06676860310965260042noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234066117272386529.post-60990099972303871162010-02-23T19:07:00.019+11:002010-02-23T20:08:11.015+11:00PechaKucha Melbourne<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">So what is </span></span><a href="http://www.pecha-kucha.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">PechaKucha</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">?

I picked up Breakfast with Socrates in December, started reading it and stopped reading as I entered a wonderfully serious affair with Alan Bennett's wonderful play and autobiography. I've always wanted to know more about philosophy, having studied and learned bits and pieces of Derrida, Foucault and back in high school History Extension (history nerd alert!). To be perfectly honest, philosophy is intimidating and their texts not always easily understood. Breakfast with Socrates is an easy introduction and sort of ... philosophy injected into and analysed in everyday mundane tasks. I can already hear philosophy students and the like cringing (you snobs!) ... but this book is very much accessible to the general public who wishes to know a little bit more.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 253px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S25EKur3U_I/AAAAAAAAAYY/slF3NkwAKLk/s400/socrates.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435356751404159986" /><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span></div>zi xin wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06676860310965260042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234066117272386529.post-25507558377484178732010-02-04T17:22:00.003+11:002010-02-04T17:31:47.687+11:00Conservatory<div>This is a renovation of a workshop and its garden by Ecuadorian architect firm Daniel Moreno -to clean up and create a light-filled space for the organisation and storage of materials.

I'm not sure how much of Mueck's work is conceptual, but it is a great exhibition. To a degree, his work do explore the human condition ... and they are meticulously detailed and beautiful objects to look at. <div>Well curated, great space, I thought - all the pieces seem to be having conversations and talking to each other. It certainly is a very 'accessible' form of art, I suppose, family-friendly too, due to the shock/wow factor. This is probably why photography (without flash, of course) is allowed in the exhibition. I remember my mother, who isn't really interested in the art world, forwarding me an email with pictures of his work due to how 'cool' they were. And they certainly are cool.</div>zi xin wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06676860310965260042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234066117272386529.post-35435214499110418562010-01-26T10:48:00.004+11:002010-01-26T10:58:08.207+11:00Fun products<div>Sometimes we need a bit of fun, even in the most mundane of things.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S14uknXmN2I/AAAAAAAAATo/mv5wSyW-eSw/s1600-h/AO257_350.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S14uknXmN2I/AAAAAAAAATo/mv5wSyW-eSw/s400/AO257_350.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430829407233521506" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S14ukTgwKsI/AAAAAAAAATg/OcJDF7ZWFWc/s1600-h/AO255a_350.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S14ukTgwKsI/AAAAAAAAATg/OcJDF7ZWFWc/s400/AO255a_350.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430829401903213250" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Designed by Israeli-based Artori Design</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S14txhtT6tI/AAAAAAAAATY/dp8Nuycunow/s1600-h/sub.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S14txhtT6tI/AAAAAAAAATY/dp8Nuycunow/s400/sub.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430828529540655826" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Tea infuser by Israeli design studio, Ototo</div>zi xin wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06676860310965260042noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234066117272386529.post-27318873011993445342010-01-26T00:18:00.001+11:002010-01-26T00:21:21.278+11:00Wrong Hat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S12aQnxIRnI/AAAAAAAAATQ/tl4hcmWgZtQ/s1600-h/Wrong+Hat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FzGe2l_TL5A/S12aQnxIRnI/AAAAAAAAATQ/tl4hcmWgZtQ/s400/Wrong+Hat.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430666336022316658" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">(click to enlarge)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bang bang you're dead!</div>zi xin wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06676860310965260042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234066117272386529.post-57424013414702184202010-01-25T18:24:00.003+11:002010-01-25T21:39:19.545+11:00Push Your Ideas<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(100, 95, 94); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:verdana, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"><div>A short, cool inspirational video!</div><object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8766811&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8766811&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object></span>zi xin wonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06676860310965260042noreply@blogger.com1
