"Diary: Audience 1966"

Where do we get our art thoughts from?
Do we get them from books or other or do we actually get them from our pasts? How do we view art? How do we come up with our ideas?
For me, I come up with them from my present life. Every time I hear a weird noise like water drops dropping out of a fridge, I’d think it’s a nice beat for some type of music. Or I see two couple holding hands walking on the harbor at sunset time; I would imagine a beautiful picture with additional changes in my mind. Once I start my work, my brain doesn’t stop adding more and more ideas to my art.

Potomac.

We are always going to different places in different times, but for some precise moments we are all in the same place together.

Once I reach my cherished destination "Montgomery Square", I start wondering where the others are going.



But for me where I’m going is always HOME.



BUT I’ll always remember the special moments we had in this very quiet neighberhood. As I prepare to leave my childhood home, I see other children living my memories.



Like a ☺ shared between a mother and her child in their own peaceful world.



Or trying to figure out how to deal with the other children.



Or learning to grow up like his older brother.



Or sharing a hot summer day selling lemonade and hoping to make 5 dollars.



The best thing I remember is even though we all live in the same story, we are always in a different world.



No matter what, we all take different paths in life. As I climb my stairs of life, I wonder where I am meant to go.

But I know this long road of Potomac is mine alone to travel.

Traveling down this road of mine, there is nothing like stopping to enjoy my special moments for one last time.

Situational Tour Project

For my situational tour project, I chose to write about the neighborhood I grew in, Potomac, Maryland. Since I live far away from my country, the only place that feels like home to me is Potomac. I grew up here and saw the neighborhood evolve with me. Every narrow corner of this place reminds me of a special moment I shared with either my family or friends in the past. I chose this place because I’m leaving Potomac very soon and I wanted to share some of my special moments that I had there with the others. It will be very hard leaving the neighborhood behind but its picture will always be trapped in my heart. Potomac will always be my one and only cherished place.

Does multimedia shape the limits of art and life?

Sorry I didn't really understand the part i had to summerize i did my best ..

Vannevar Bush found out the person in charge for the description quality of multimedia by planning an automatic machine. The goal was to create a machine that maintains the mind’s practice of free connection; he distinguished how ideas tend to develop in a no straight, individual way. His mission was to create a tool that could increase this characteristic of human imagination by organizing its media basics to reproduce the dynamics of the mind at play. Douglas Eneglbart also worked on Bush’s hypothesis.

Looking at the real life, any interactivity within the computer just showed a call to inspire the eyewitness to form his or her own experience of reality through electronic mediation. Janet Murray described it as “agency” which she explained “the satisfying power to take meaningful action and see the results of our decision and choices.” So this type of agency has been changed in our very narrow environment as a system for allowing the eyewitness to connect with the artist as an inspired co-worker.

Art has been known to be the mirror of life, but with all this addition of thinking and concepts of relationships and teamwork, any computer based multimedia may add to be more than a mirror of life. Multimedia already has a space between art and the real life.

Are all art boys considered geeks?

The writer is basically talking about his past, he is remembering how he used to be a categorized as a geek, and also others he worked with were categorized like him he tells us how they used to dine out on the company’s credit. He doesn’t know how to categorize himself, people think he is a geek and ask him questions that he doesn’t understand, the world is evolving so quickly and it’s so hard for him to keep up. He doesn’t want to explain or understand anymore, he feels everyone’s lives are merging into each other such as the geeks and art boys but they are still different.
