IF the eco-friendly idea of falling asleep under the stars and roasting marshmallows around a campfire appeals to you, but the reality of pitching a tent and sleeping on bumpy ground does not, glamping, the new term being used for upscale — or glamorous — camping, could be your ideal green vacation.
filmed by my friend John Zhao of Virginia, the next Zhang Yimou.
Twenty-five disposable cameras were labelled with an emotion and sent to 25 participants. Each took a photo of that described feeling (such as “jealous”) then passed the camera to someone who made them feel that emotion, and the next participant continued the cycle. Postcards were returned to us at each step, describing the present and future custodian of each camera. The film as yet undeveloped, we keep these cameras as representations of a wide range of human emotion, captured and stored in an analog format.

I just had dinner last night with some people I met at Eyebeam and this is a music video by my friend Catherine Tai she has been working on the past month for the band, “The Silent Years”. Check it out.
“When I first listened to the song - The Sun is Alive, I thought the song should be bright blue in color.
I think a lot of people have that but when I look at the sky, I can see a lot of black dots floating in the air, like some bugs. They seems have a life and tend to form some picture in my eye. This song inspired me to tell a story about a little boy having illusions with those dots.
Also, the music is very fresh and chill. It’s amazing that this feeling didn’t change even I have been listening for hundred times throughout the video making process,I hand drawn those characters like what I used to see in cartoons when I was small and hope to keep that freshness through images.” by Catherine Tai

Nearly half a century ago, uncounted millions of Chinese died from starvation and political violence, both the result of a top-down utopian social movement that was intended, among other things, to rekindle China’s luster in the modern world.
And it is with such history in mind that the exhibition called “Art and China’s Revolution” at Asia Society poses a perfectly timed post-Olympics question: What came before?
In history, graphic design has evolved by adapting the new media technology of the times. ‘Interaction’ is one of the keywords for explaining the contemporary ‘New Media’. Unfortunately the graphic design community hasn’t appropriated this new paradigm yet. Most contemporary designers still have a narrow perspective assuming that interactive design is merely web-design or a computational responsive graphic.
Interaction is a concept but not a genre. So, an Interactive concept can be attached to all different kind of media. Such as ‘Interactive painting’ or an ‘Interactive concert’.
My MFA thesis is about ‘Interactive typography.’ This is a new challenge of typography in terms of adding a new media concept to pre-existing media. And my interest in interactive media lead me to an advertising agency, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, which got its fame from the most progressive challenges in interactive media design.
The design schools must find a way of adopting interactive concept in graphic design. Students have to stop focusing on just web-design (which mostly it ends up with Flash action script.) Schools have to develop its curriculum focusing on both training basic typography and form making and understanding media as a interactive method of expressing contents and sharing culture.
