letter 2 to Eric

Dear Eric~ You want my artist statement Here it is ~
My performance art works are usually created in extraordinary placesI let myself experience it in my own kinesphereI improvise actions through interactions with the environment, whileoccupying existing objects, space and atmosphereIn essence, I try to capture the corporeality in the process of creationIt is an experience of release of the moment An instinctive physical reaction that the conscious is yet to keep upThere are only feelings, intricate feelings of the body from one second to the next secondYearning to do something interesting, yet there is no clear clueI can only respond in a non-conceptual and nonsensical wayThen I can be sure that I am creating and I send you my artworks ~

Noise inside of Kai-Yuan

Hi Eric, here is some note I wrote down from inside my mind. It's more like the sounds came from my heart and brain.

"I have to start to do the art piece" this idea came from inter require and outside demand.However, there are so many noise pop out. Just like KAI-YUAN intent to tell Kai-Yuan something.
Noise A: this work cannot only discuss aesthetic.
Noise B: Kai-Yuan tried to argue this point said "The form will be naturally developed"
Noise A: Behavior art series has been ended and I wish the new work will be more aggressive and radical.
Noise C: This time, there are some principle's in this project. The artwork needs to related to your partner.
Noise B: However, the work of my partner is full with sensibility , emotion and aesthetic. Not radical at all. What should I do?
Noise C: Ok, Let's put "radical" away.
Noise B: How can I deal with the "issue"? My partner's work is surrounding family, happiness and dead.
Noise C: If I need to follow the rule of "Art-Sync" project, Then I only have couple choice.

1, Describing him is sensitive poet

2. Discuss about his work from my intuition

3. do something related to his issue.
Noise A: How can I do? What should I do? You cannot play safe. also cannot do something similar with some one's work.
Noise B: I certainly have my own creating process, which is cut off, cut off and cut off then start to do! Therefore, following my pattern, how I can do this work through this limited rules?
Noise A: Should I change the way which I used to be to create the work?
Noise B: It's not impossible but I still like to cut off , cut off and cut off then start! Recently I took the class focus on meta-analysis, but I really think it like doing rearch not art. Noise A: what is the problem if you keep the way "cut off , cut off and cut off "?
Noise B: The good is if I keep this way, I might create something which can not be catalog, but the bad thing is it might not fit the theme.
Noise C: This is a art piece will show in NY, Kai-Yuan has to take this chance and do best.
Noise A: how about using some strategy, for example, adding some Taiwanese traditional style, it can get attention. But this way is playing safe. And I think the curators and partner will get disappointed.
Noise B: If I really do something with strategy, it will end my creativity.
Noise A: Do you think you can be able to create new methond of creating art?
Noise B : After considering, the conclution is I will stop doing art if I am using the typical stragey.
Noise C: So the conclution is I will use "cut off , cut off and cut off" to create this piece. But it's the chanllege for me. Especially this chanllege will larger than pervious experience. Since this time I am not only facing myself, but also the curators and my partner Eric.

Video idea from Brad inspired by Mu-Chi's M&P video

Muchi,Don't know what kind of song you have in mind. I did come up with a similar idea of your muchi painting video, more like a 'part 2'.At this point you might want to do something completely different, but i had an idea that you can think about.The song is called 'Muchi pan', Muchi zoom, Muchi tilt.
It's a prequel to your first video. Starts with you panning(looking, searching, side to side), then zooming (focusing in closer), then tilting(thinking/tilting head).
The video is told through a girls voice, she is worried that you are looking searching for other girls. At the end you are panning and zooming and tilting as you paint, and you are painting a girl.
Kind of sexual, kind of fun and arty like your first..
Let me know what you have in mind since i am not sure this is a direction you want to go.
Talk to you soon

updated May 5th , email between Eric and Kai-Yuan

----

Hello Kai-Yuan,
In an effort to provide you with a more steady information feed, I've modified the format of my email. Let's see if this works...
Thoughts & writings:

1.)When you want someone to become someone else hard enough, it seems as though they've always been that person anyways, and why even think that they could ever have been two different people?
2.)When the moon gets closer and closer to becoming full, I often think it's full and someone else tells me it's not, but it's close and I go on with my evening but I've never seen the "new moon" because in its absence the clouds cover the night sky and I forget that I should have been looking in the first place.
3.)I waited, shoulders hunched, on my freshly snow-covered porch. Trails of strangers walked among whizzing automobile headlights to avoid the icy sidewalks. My toes pinched with cold. The cellphone was cupped in one hand, a half finished cigarette in the other. I took a drag, and held it. My insides toasted like firewood. I wanted to preserve that feeling as long as possible. I held the drag for what seemed like hours. When the smoke finally leaked out my nostrils, my eyes shut, accepting the winter chill. I tapped the filter, and a shower of gray dust danced towards my feet. A girl with a burgundy colored wool jacket crossed the street and smiled. I nodded, and took another drag. My desire to hold the smoke faded, and I exhaled. I blew for a long time; unable to tell what was smoke, and what was frozen air.
I dialed a number from memory, and held the receiver to my ear. Ring... ring... ring. I sighed, and decided not to leave a message. The front door creaked open, and a burst of warm air tapped the backside of my neck. I flicked my remaining cigarette onto the six inch comforter of snow on the lawn. It hissed, and dove to the grassy earth below. Out of habit, my free hand burrowed into an empty jacket pocket. I leaned against the front door, and coughed. Across the street, my neighbor used his sleeve to wipe snow off his truck's windshield. I waited for him to leave, before going inside. The door locked itself behind me.

Latest correspondence between Yin-Ling and MaryKate

Sorry to bombard you with all of these emails. I had an idea...
How would you feel about one of the projects being photographs of us each wearing a mask of the others face, going about our daily routine. We could video or photograph our encounters. Have you ever done any life-casting/moldmaking? it is quite simple. I was thinking something Jillian Wearing-esque. I feel that we are so similar in interests but we physically look different. It may be an interesting experiment. I can make a mask of my face and mail it to you. It would be really simple and monotone in color but have my features and your eyes looking through it. Perhaps it would only be beige in color.
Let me know
MK
_______________________
it's very interesting . I'll mail my face to you ~~
haha i think a interesting thing... i really like "mask"

haha
i think this project maybe let me experience your life , it is like having two identity~

And last time i say about my idea (making a work for my partner)
i want to make a gift for you by photo . it's like a commodity ad.
the content is about " i guess you will like it "
because i think we know each outher by many information (your interesting or your web...)
but maybe i imagine that "you" is not real "you"

so you will get some strange commodity ad haha ...
for example , i need you grawing some simple portraits(only line...and some characteristics...can consult the annex↓), this portrait is maybe the people of your dream or you want to see. you can wish he or she (the portraits) has to be policeman or designer or psychoanalysts primer...any more

and then i will as much as i can do to find he or her (real people)

sorry maybe difficult to understand... : ) you don't care it . i think it's very free

hope everything goes well~ : )

Communication with Kai-Yuan through MSN

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:NUNU小姐
http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/ 安怎?

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:
艾瑞克先生這次的回信給了我很大的想像

http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:你有看了嗎

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/嘿嘿~~~~~~~當然呀~~~~怎麼說你的想像?

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:他描述了3個場景

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:但我不太確定這些詩意的文字 是否在對我傳達些什麼(關於作品還是關於生活)

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/我覺得他想要透過文字來讓你認識他

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:嗯嗯 我也這麼認為

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/同時也想透過文字來測試你

NYhttp://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:哈哈

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/你有想怎麼回他嗎

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:我還在想，我也要讓他想像一下才行，不然就太便宜他了

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/你又不是在比賽～～～

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:我們在互相認識呀

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/你想聽聽我的想法嗎？

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:好阿，請說

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/我如果是你，我會同圖像來回應他的文字帶給你的想像，並且再用文字或圖像去表達和你切身相關的意像，而不是只是用文字，又不是作文比賽，他明明是攝影師~~一直出文字給你~~~呵~~~

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:呵呵 其實我是有打算用圖像(攝影)來做 第1件關於夥伴的作品 但我需要更認識他 才能拍出東西

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:我能了解為何他一直出文字

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/好妙喔，他也寫信來給我，告訴我他想更認識你～～我覺得每一組都好特別，有些組，大概連對方的名字都不會拚，但已經在做作品了，有些組就一直在玩～～～～

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:因為感覺的到 他對於生活的感受是使用文字在紀錄

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/對呀，我覺得他其實是很文字的人，所以他的圖像作品其實也是和一連串的文字搭配而成的

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:但他不放圖像是因為 圖像往往會超出文字的想像 那可能不適合在一開始就拿來當做認識的工具

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:當一個創作者 要我試著拍出跟他類似的作品不難 但我覺得若只是用圖像思考他的作品 會太表面

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:所以 5月中之前我會再多多認識他

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/ says:那你有想過怎麼利用文字來回應他嗎?

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:之後再來做作品

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:他給我的文字 看起來好像不是要我回應 好像他打開了他的房門讓我看看

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:而我也看到了更多他的輪廓

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/ says:well....這還是要看你，回應不代表是直接針對他的文字回應，如果他打開房門請你進去，你還是要和他聊聊房間裡的東西吧

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/ says:嗯~~~~我覺得我好像有點介入太多了~~呵~~~~

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:呵呵

http://www.tjhungartanddesign.org/ says:看你啦~~不過我很開心就是你這次完全收到他寄這封信給你的目的

NY http://nypark.blogspot.com/ says:嗯嗯
