Something Feminine

Final Project: a Movie Clip

Something Femimine: feel me

What I wanted is making a film that gives a real fantastic, abstract, and artistic impression with a taste of experimental video. My theme of the project is "Something Feminine".

First of all,,,I put some good amount of efforts to the sound. I combined couple of sound samples and extracted music.
Than, I shoot a video of closed up fur coats, shoes and a scarf. And there is a light effect that I made with kitchen foil.
Running time is 1 Min and 38 Sec.
Enjoy

A New Solution for Physical impairments

2005-11-30T14:37:00.000-08:00

I experienced a physical impairment from the last class. As an old proverb from Korea, “There’s nothing easy to do as using my own tongue”, it was very difficult to use a vending machine without using arms. So I came up with an idea that using tongue. Why not easy as using my own tongue?

Install buttons behind tooth. These buttons interact with a remote controlled card that person can hang on their neck. What you can do with these buttons are,

1. activating Credit Card or Metro Card by using pin number,
2. and writing text that appears on the card.

Of course “hold button” is available in case of touching it by mistake.
It helps hearing impairments to communicate easier and faster.
Buttons are easy to operate.
In the case of abusing credit card or metro card, you can operate pin numbers.

Jan Svankmajer! Animation Motivation

Jan Svankmajer

The reason I like about Jan Svankmajer’s animation is its weirdness. I generally like his works because he has his own style over the all works that he made. I can’t exactly explain why I like this work. I guess it’s the style. There is no fascinating technology in it. It’s more classic and experimental. The way he uses his sculpting skills and drawing skills to tell the story is somewhat familiar just like I have seen it long ago in my own dream. I really can’t explain why the whole dejabu to me. I actually tried to remake one of his pieces by using different method. I used paper doll and made a cell animation by scanner. It was a good experience to think about how he came up with the idea of its expression. The story itself is amazing too. Every episode has kind of themes and issues, which are hidden behind. Sometimes I never understand but it’s still awesome. I hope you can have a chance to watch his pieces, which are available on Kim’s Video on Saint Marks.
I want to make an animation that is an homage of Jan Svankmajer but by using new tools and technology.

Working on Siren in NYC

2005-11-29T19:47:00.000-08:00

Proposal

Noise pollution in New York City has been outrageous. Especially Fire truck and ambulance sirens, which never stop even during the mid night, make people stressed out. To solve this problem, I came up with couple of ideas.

Instead of volume down the sound of siren,

1. Use flashlight that can reach out far enough.
2. Wireless signal – Install a remote signal in fire truck so that can control the traffic sign. On traffic sign, add another signal color, such as pink light that indicates approaching emergency vehicle.
3. Install a navigation system, which shows approaching emergency vehicle and its direction so that the drivers can get out of the way the emergency vehicle towards. Make it due to install the navigation indicator.

Result
The emergency vehicle can actually alarm the people on the street, including people with hearing impairments and blind. At the same time, this plan will help reducing noise pollution in the city.

check the picture documentary of "Technology Through our Day in NYU"

I and Sam went to East river park for Robert Smithon's "Floating Island" exhibition.
The island was not on time, so we went hotdog!
Next day, we met again to experience technology around us, we went to Skirball building on south Washington square. It is super cool brand new building of NYU with awesome cafeteria and full of new machine and stuff.
We were frustrated when the escalator was out of service. We had to walk down the "escalator" as if it was stair.
Than, we went to computer store where we could buy technology stuff. When we got there, it was very busy as always, so we couldn't get help from staff. To get technology, we need information that tells us which one is what we want. Without help of person, I couldn't get the nformation. That was another frustrating experience.
Finally, we went to Washington sqaure park. On the park, a light was on in the middle of daytime. What a waste of money!

What I realized is,
CSS applies to each table cell by indication.

My Question is....
Why does this html and CSS works differently in window explore, firefox, and safari?

One gray day of central park

2005

Crayon on Paper

by Sol Huh

One gray day,

the park was there

surrounded by gray buildings, gray sky, and the gray air.

The lake and the trees were ignoring the noise of the city

"I live in this city."

The Park said.

"I know. You have reflection of the city."

"Yes. I am what I am but I change just like you grow up. It's same me."

"I have pictures of a girl who has long black hair. Those were taken here.

Trees have different colors of leaves and things are slightly different,

but I see it is you."

They were not the same people as yesterday who were there.

They were lovers, children, nannies, tourists like always.

That's what she saw

and I saw.

A homeless dog in the city

crayon on paper

2005

by Sol Huh

One day morning, a black and skinny little dog came to my house.

He was too skinny and his legs were thin as my finger.

He seemed so lost and starved so I adopted him.

In the dark, because of his black body and eyes, I woudn't be able to see him if there was no white little dot on his chest. I called him Eggie.

Eggie had no voice.

When he barked, only helpless wind sound came out of his mouth.

Once he had voice. It must have been clear and happy sound.

Veterinary said his former owner gave him a surgery to mute his voice.

He even had a cosmetic surgery on his ears.

I've heard some people do that to keep their pet in the apartment but looking at Eggie, I was so sorry for what cruel human beings did.

Anyway, Eggie and I were happy for a while.

We were always together. I loved him so much.

I wanted to compensate him for his bad memories.

One day, he was sleeping. I tried to pat his adorable back.

Because of my sudden touch, he was astonished and bite my hand accidentally.

Then, he ran away.

I don't know why he ran away. I wasn't mad at him.

I saw a miniature pinscher in the park but it wasn't skinny as Eggie.

Still, there is a scar remained on my left hand.

I miss him.
