blind people are part of the public too. Yet blind people, like people with other disabilities, often find ourselves siloed into special groups or programming in ways that reinforce our marginal status
the disability is not the problem, the accessibility is the problem

discussing about how we can appreciate art in different ways, in my ideation and prototyping class, we recently started learning the chapter of "What is Use", we are challenging ourselves to rethink the purpose of use and redesign those activities

this is beautiful

it is interesting to learn about what are the meaning behind each dance move and performances, if I'm just an audience, I'll only interpret t this as an form of art, but with the explanation is given, it takes the performance to another level
Rights to songs and dances, which are primarily hereditary
no every country is like the American people who are given the right of free speech, protests, assembly, religion, and petition.
When approaching shore, it is ashared protocol that they ask permission, through oratory, songs, and dances, to land their canoesin another Nation’s territories.
not just simplify a form of dance and songs, it is art in politics made by the wit
“doing homework” by speaking with elders and other knowl-edgeable people in their Nation about protocol
down to earth. Building real genuine connection
Holding myself accountable to shared protocol governing the use ofsongs and dances as well as the ethics inherent to conducting research in First Nations communi-ties, I have sought and received S7aplek’s permission to research and write about his practice
behind everything he has achieved is the time and the effort we can't enountered
I define dancingsovereignty as self-determination carried out through the creation of performances
very cool
Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work ofart, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is alreadythere. Our task is to cut back content so that we can see the thing at all.The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works ofart-and, by analogy, our own experience-more, rather than less, real to us.The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that itis what it is, rather than to show what it means.10In place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics of art.[1964]
to reduce content and look into what's real, to interpret those arts not in an overwhelmingly way is to reduce the complexity, observing the work from a bigger scale and mentally drawing the outlines. And evaluate what are the core values
We must learn to seemore, to hear more, to feel more
the best quote
film
film is art
In good films, there is always a directness that entirely frees usfrom the itch to interpret.
I always love the films with good endings, left the mystery for the audience to imagine
the dead past.
it gives art new life
. Actually, they have no meaning without interpretation. Tounderstand is to interpret. And to interpret is to restate the phenomenon,in effect to find an equivalent for it.
sometimes we just end up making things more complicated, even the creator doesn't even have an interpretation for itself, art is just art
it digs “behind” thetext, to find a sub-text which is the true one.
does it real matter?
it is a form of therapy
100% agree, my professor from my Critic as an artist class, "“Art is the highest form of hope”, I often find peace and settlement whenever I do art in the midst of chaos and anxiety
Yet,
I'm wondering what kind of film we should encourage to be made to offer the black female the positive upright sense of right to gaze and identification
“to see black women in the position whitewomen have occupied in film forever,” I began to think critically aboutblack female spectatorship.
we should all learn the way to be an art critic in the digital age, film is art
”
fear often shuts people down, but when does fear wakes people up
Not all black women spectatorssubmitted to that spectacle of regression through identification.
this is so sad, I think in movies, the characters are often plays a role of either identification or the hero characters who inspiring the audience to be like them/look up to the characters they portray.
They were all acutely aware of cinematic racism—its violent erasure of black womanhood. I
I think it plays the same role in asian womanhood, when Hollywood movies often portray Asian women as hypersexualized bodies
ritical spectatorship. Unless you went to workin the white world, across the tracks, you learned to look at whitepeople by staring at them on the screen. Black looks, as they wereconstituted in the context of social move
a lot of anecdotes, convincing, more personal
When most black people in the United States first had the opportunity to look at film and television, they did so fully aware that massmedia was a system of knowledge and power reproducing and maintaining white supremacy
very true, stereotypes that are portrayed in film, television, social media, and gaming
it serves to reform pris-oners, but also to treat patients, to instruct schoolchildren, toconfine the insane, to supervise workers, to put beggars andidlers to work
which to benefit the power
perfect society
what defines perfect and ideal?
by using orphans. One would seewhat would happen when, in their sixteenth or eighteenth year,they were presented with other boys or girls; one could verifywhether, as Helvetius thought, anyone could learn anything;one would follow ‘the genealogy of every observable idea’; onecould bring up different children according to different systemsof thought, making certain children believe that two and twodo not make four or that the moon is a cheese, then put themtogether when they are twenty or twenty-five years old; onewould then have discussions that would be worth a great dealmore than the sermons or lectures on which so much money isspent; one would have at least an opportunity of making dis-coveries in the domain of metaphysics.
Panopticon reminds me about the movie, the voyagers and the novel, Lord of the flies, both indicates the hypothesis of isolated kids that mirror the tragedy and beauty of humanity
The Panopticon is a machine for dissociating thesee/being seen dyad: in the peripheric ring, one is totally seen,without ever seeing; in the central tower, one sees everythingwithout ever being seen

noise, no chatter, no waste of time; if they are workers, there areno disorders, no theft, no coalitions, none of those distractionsthat slow down the rate of work, make it less perfect or causeaccidents
sometimes we appreciate and realize the imperfections of humanity are are so ordinary and we are accustomed to them, but on another hand, the perfect world is abnormal and strange
fear of the plaque gave rise
pandemic not only affecting the health of people worldwide but also is a source of fear, stress, and anxiety, affecting people's mental health
Behind the disciplinary mechanisms can be read the hauntingmemory of ‘contagions’, of the plague, of rebellions, crimes,vagabondage, desertions, people who appear and disappear,live and die in disorder.
Real life examples can be see as evidence for this point, the corruption of humanity unmasked such as Anti Asian Hate Crimes was surging during 2020
festival grew up around theplague: suspended laws, lifted prohibitions, the frenzy of pass-ing time, bodies mingling together without respect, individu-als unmasked, abandoning their statutory identity and the fig-ure under which they had been recognized, allowing a quitedifferent truth to appear
debate between personal freedom and collective responsibility, do we own each other? It might sound crazy the author created this writing in 2008, such a absurd scenario, happens in 10 years in real life
the name, age,sex of everyone, notwithstanding his condition’:
just like COVID, individual's freedom and privacy have to be sacrfisied to some certain extent
This surveillance is based on a system of permanent regis-tration: reports from the syndics to the intendants, from the in-tendants to the magistrates or mayor. At the beginning of the‘lock up’, the role of each of the inhabitants present in the townis laid down, one by one; this doc
what is the author's inspiration for this piece of writing, how does this society reflect the modern day issues
‘in which respect the inhabitantswill be compelled to speak the truth under pain of death’; ifsomeone does not appear at the window, the syndic must askwhy: ‘In this way he will find out easily enough whether deador sick are being concealed.
in this case, the syndic acts as the modern day technology which the government/community use as a tool to check in with individuals, example: the COVID self tested apps In this society, the syndic needs to do it manually
the ‘crows’, who can be leftto die
is it a punishment or a volunteered job?
Each family will have made its own provisions;but, for bread and wine, small wooden canals are set up be-tween the street and the interior of the houses, thus allowingeach person to receive his ration without communicating withthe supplier and other residents; meat, fish and herbs will behoisted up into the houses with pulleys and baskets.
this is similar to how my hometown(in China) how the government handles the grocery distribution under the pandamic
a strict spatial partitioning: the closing of the town andits outlying districts, a prohibition to leave the town on pain ofdeath, the killing of all stray animals; the division of the towninto distinct quarters, each governed by an intendant.
a reflection to the current event, COVID-19, I felt like people from all over the world would have a sense of sensitivity towards this scenario
there will always be someth ing online moreinformative, surprising, funny, diverting, impressive thananyth ing in one's immediate actual circumstances.
sometimes we really need to slow down, breath, and take a glimpse into the reality, to see and feel the little moments around us
all experience has been filtered, recorded, or
the images that people share to social media is often filtered, those misleading content and perfect images which leads to the decline of mental health
managed and manipulated, exchanged, reviewed , archived,recommended, "followed ."
which is often being used in marketing, online shops/instagram brand owners often study the algorithm to manipulated the consumers

interesting!
It is impermissible for there to be credible or visibleoptions of l iving outside the demands of 24n communicationand consumption.
very true
graph ic information
is the "more graphic information" making our 24/7 more fulfilling ?
mandatory
I think the word choice-"mandatory" is interesting, we are not force to be immersed Into the digital world, but the society/ peer pressure making it impossible for someone to not depend on the Digital world
inexorable cancellation and replacement
this relates me to the fashion trends nowadays compared to the trends in the past, as older cycles are always longer, takes more time to widespread to the consumers, the new trends this days are quick to be outdated and replaced
"a truly radical development."
it is easy for us to deliver/express ourselves through digital media, people pay attention to small detail such as a single "like" to the instagram story or the best friend list on snapchat. However, while making it convenient to stay connected with people, our emotions are exaggerated on the screen, and often being misinterpreted
For the vast majority of people, our perceptual andcognitive relationsh ip to communication and informationtechnology will continue to be estranged and disempoweredbecause of the velocity at which new products emerge and atwh ich arbitrary reconfigurations of entire systems take place.
living in the "digital age", we are no longer constantly being challenged to communicate and socialize in person, the lack of real life practice and accessible digital tools we can use resulted the decreased capacity of our social skills
today's teenagers and younger children areall now harmoniously inhabiting the inclusive and seamlessintelligibility of their technological worlds
we are transitional generation
the present as a digitalage
as we annotating and discussing the old era, how will the future generations classify the present-"the digital age" we call it, will it be critical or complimentary
from analog to digitalmedia, or from a print-based culture to a global society u nifiedby the instantaneous circulation of data and information
is this culture shift/transition consider a human progression which brings overall positive impacts to all?
. Theterror of 24n is evident not only in the drone attacks, but alsoin the ongoing practice of night raids by Special Forces, beginning in Iraq, and now in Afghanistan and elsewhere

imposition of 24n homogeneity
It is insane that so many different civilizations conclude the same system of time
And it took me a long time to see some of the key details that eventually became central to my interpretation and my published work on the painting.
I think as the class is "Slow Looking", this article perfectly explains why we should slower our pace when it comes to appreciating art and interpreting literature, we always discover more and the deeper stories when we use patient as a tool
the shape of time has changed around it
building on our in-class discuss about attention, which related to the span of time and the way we embrace the change of routine under the pandemic, we can use patient as a tool to revalue our time
