Electroliquid Aggregation

Just updated the three quotes...


I am currently moving house, will not have internet connection for the following weeks. I will try the best to keep this blog updated. As for the unreal thing, It appears to be a problem without access to the internet, but I will sort is out, somehow...


Here is the Electroliquid Aggregation

"Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry."


Nightingale, F

"There is no part of my life, upon which I can look back without pain."

Equations are just the boring part of life, I attempt not to look back to see things without pain, in terms of geometry.

New thoughts on the scene

I found the ground plane would look interesting in yellow color when I was playing the model around this afternoon. It delivers to viewer the impression that the structure is in the middle of the desert of some kind, and has a perfect contrast with the underground building and the leaf motif as well.

Production methods and New staris mode

The building above the ground is based on one of Sidney Nolan's paintings called Gallipoli about 1959. The painting itself is based on Nolan's reading of Alan Moorehead's Gallipoli when he started to see the Trojan tragedy not only in epic terms but in relation to the terrible of droughts of Australia, linking the military struggles of Troy with the heat and dust and deprivation of Central Australia.

The underground structure is based on a series Patricia Piccinini's sculpture of motor scooters called Nest. The idea is from her fascination of so called "life cycles of technology" that she continues to explore the tangled interrelationship between the artificial and the natural by imagining the lives of machines beyond their usual forms. Nest present the viewer a family of motor scooters, a mother watching over her little baby.



For the underground structure

It looks a lot better than the previous one
