We think of three-dimensional space as continuous. Here the construction of a stitched panorama is betrayed by duplicate people and incongruous shadows. Since the joins in the representation are artificial, perhaps there is an honesty in letting them show. Similarly, Thomas Demand’s photographs reassure us with their familiarity just before revealing themselves as paper sculptures. His images are calibrated to oscillate across the gap between real and fake. As photographs of sculptures, they stand at two removes from reality, but those removes serve to incorporate our perceptions into the work.

The work that I’m attracted to often uses images of real life that are not always real life; statements that don’t necessarily reveal their sources or intentions; art that’s not always art; graphic design that’s not always graphic design; but this work still manages to communicate to each of us on an individual level.

Sixty years removed from Duchamp’s nomination of ordinary objects to high art status, punks styled their fashions with common household items. Chain stores followed by using the graphic symbolism for a mall-rat aesthetic while high-end magazines reinterpreted the look for an even further removed audience. Across this trajectory exists an awareness of the coded construction of popular culture—whether through the eyes of the subcultural artist, the countercultural punk, the low-culture caterers or the high-culture stylemakers.

The designers practice is always in play with the reverberations(RIVEER_BERATIONS) of their personal life. These traditionally separate poles are not easily kept apart in lived experience. Not for any of us. They are rarely if ever the mutually exclusive zones that we are, or were, led to believe them to be. And they often, if not usually must be engaged on more or less the same terms at the same time and in the same situations. Like at work, for example.
Returning to graduate school, I find it is more difficult than ever to try to separate practice from the personal. This stems from my competing roles as a father, husband, son and designer. My path from home to studio and back again is characterized by multiple detours/disruptions/interruptions. From the mandatory National Service back in Singapore, to getting married, being a parent, my rekindled bmx obsession and the Masters program at Yale, the projected path of my life is an improbable pattern produced through selective interventions, divine or human made. Surprisingly, these diversions have brought me unforeseen benefit – serendipity of sorts.
In most cases, admittedly, decisions were made for me. Growing up in a city-state, with what the western democracies consider an authoritarian form of governance, intervention is familiar, common. Throw in my strict monotheistic religious upbringing, which sometimes seemed incompatible with modern living, and it can be said that the doctrine of interruption is ingrained in my every fiber.
I am interested in the moment of contact, the instance when something from the outside, a foreign entity interacts with a set of systematic structures. Just the way those unexpected disruptions interacted with my daily life, the results could be a violent expansion of energy or just a mere puff. What I’m after is how the merging of things that don’t make perfect sense together can translate into a design methodology. (MET_THOD_DOLO_GIE))
Juxtaposition What are the various forms of interruptive strategies? What if I upset a set of regulated system or break the visual tranquility of a form or setting, what might happen? I’ll appoint myself the advocator, an agent of disruption, like a nosy father stretching his parenting skills. What if I insert my own fictions into the reality like placing an object that is foreign into a non-homologous environment. Will this result in a story that the space might tell if it were given the chance?

The Ryugyong Hotel – Wallpaper Can the idea of representation changed through intervention? If a magazine like the Wallpaper, a product of the capitalist west, sold the Ryugyong(REE_YOU_GIONG) Hotel as a cool architectural destination. Would the meaning be construed by the audience?
In praise of chance Let’s reverse the role a bit, lets bestow the power of meaning upon the viewers. A game of participation and decision-making. A form of applied intervention using the inventions created by other people. A study of possible chaos, a “Lord of the Flies” experiment or much like giving unrestrained freedom to a 3 year old in a Toys R Us. These experiments seek to give viewers and readers independence in forming their opinion. To achieve these results, I plan to stage narratives by implementing new hierarchies through inventions, mechanical or artistic. These projects explore the use of deliberate interruption to increase the prospect of new forms of creation.

with others that work with, alongside, around, and happen to have come before or after me; The advertisers here did not intend for their ads to be placed next to each other. Yet their serendipitous juxtaposition allows one to complete the image of the other. The two form a more complete image together than they do apart. It’s a nice illustration for a way to think about design’s role towards a quality for interconnectedness. It encourages one thing to complete another so that the work doesn’t have to, indeed can’t, be done entirely by one part alone.

On a slightly different path of large-scale political activism, artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla left gigantic sticks of chalk in a plaza directly fronting government offices in Lima, Peru. Residents used the chalk to inscribe their distaste of government.
By letting Lima’s citizens create the message through peacful means, I found these written texts to be a powerful voice of activism.
