life cycle?

"We all end up in diapers."

-Daisy, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

although not all old people end up in diapers, most of them turned to behave like children.

the continuous life cycle...

哪個爸媽會因為孩子是藝術家, 而驕傲?

Which parents would be proud if their child is an artist?

不多.
Not Many.

但會有嗎?
But will there ever be?

too many if-s

台灣人的心

台灣人的心,

中彈

躺著也是會中彈的.

design

it so happened to be that designs are 'most of the times' ripping off other people's (be it great or ordinary) designs on and on, and claiming as inpiration but merely a motifcation.

perhaps in designer's dictionary,

modify spells like this:

c-o-p-y

sleeping

once thought as waste of time,

now i've realized it,

as my way of escaping.

from reality.

fame

it's about who you are connected with and the persistence of doing what you have been doing.

a + b does not always equal c and d

a + b = c , d , e

a = conventional
b = obstinate
c = complete, handsome, charming
d = grand, beautiful, sensitive
e = failure/mistake

sometimes shit happens

就好

有時說的話, 到底有沒有意義?

想了又想...

真想也說老哥曾說過的,

"我們過的快樂就好."

money

money is just a piece of paper and a few digits of number.

ideas for SYCA project

Wow. That must be Art.

What is Art?

It does not seem to matter especially to those who think Art is not associated in their daily lives and to those, who does not take any effort to know more about Art.

To the majority, as long as 'something' can not be categorized or understood by the masses, the 'something' is called work of art.

There are definitions/opinions/theories/bullsh*ts on what is Art, however there seem to be no absolute answer (atleast for now) on what Art is. Perhaps, if Art is so easily defined, Art would be insignificant.

Is merely a painting/drawing/sculpture/illustrations/cute things/appeals to the masses recognized as Art?

or

Is 'I am a friend of this great/famous artist' makes the person another great artist?

or

as long as 'something' is expensive or limited edition (does not matter limited to how many pieces in the world), they are art?

or

Is it something that can not be categorized and understood by the masses, is Art?

"Hey, what is that?"

"Wow. That must be Art."
