SA245:Steven Seidenberg and Carolyn Whiteās work
Ā Ā I was very appreciate that Steven Seidenberg and Carolyn White brought such wonderful and valuable workshop for us. It was my first time to participate an interactive workshop and had conversation with artists in such near distance. What surprised me most is that two artists who working in different fields, but they collaborated their works in a such good way. During workshop, they discussed their various experiments in bringing Seidenbergās practice as an artist and philosopher into collaboration with Whiteās work in archaeology and material culture analysis. The collaborative work of them gives me an inspiration that art is no limitation of field, each field can be regarded as art itself, and the interdisciplinary collaboration can create unexpected art work.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Also, I was shocked by the the series of Tokyo Tape, when I first saw it, I didnāt realize that those images were the texture of road and shot by photography, because those imagesĀ looked like two-dimensional and created sense of abstraction, and in each image, there had vibrant colors to catch my eyeball. This series work also gave me an inspiration about how to record a city through a uncommon angle, because I want to do a project about Rochester before I leaving this city. Instead of directly shooting objects, I will focus on some detailed and representative things around us, these things may easily ignored by us, but contain a lot of meaning for this city.
