Underwear.......

           On the previous lecture, Mr.Charles showed us an effective way of creating a mind map using different color markers. Each color represent a aspect, red represent the feelings, green represent the possibilities, blue represent the consequences, yellow represent the positive/advantage, black represent negativity and white represent the research done on that subject. By using this method we were given a class activity to draw out a mind map based on the topic what can you do with an underwear. He gave us a limited time period to come up with the whole idea. After that, based on the mind map and decision we make, we are required to make a music video out of the concept 'what can you do with and underwear'.

THE POTATIA & POTATO GOD

           Based on the interpretation for the metaphor, we have come up witht his tory/ slash reality called The Potatia & The Potato God. The story goes like this :


           When the humans were 1st born into the world, they were weak and had a short lifespan, born only to die within a few days. After seeing how terrible the human had suffers, the compasion Potato God decent and bestow upon them the 3 pillars of infinite potato, by eating these unlimited supplies of potato, the human became healthy and their life span has been extend. The thank the potato god, worship and give offering to the potato god as the potato god has allow the human to live longer. However, as time passed, the human began to take the unlimited supplies of potato for granted adn started to misused it. The human twisted the healthy potato into junk food, which damage their health and shorten their life span, however the huamn doesn't care and continue misusing it, the Potato god was sadden by the humans, he ascend to the heaven and forsake the human.....


          This story shows how something that was meant to be good can also be used in a bad way, and how human are not grateful with what they have.

Lecture On Mental Images

             Today's lecture on Cts is all about mental images, mental images are images that activate and trigger through various part of sensory realism such as seeing, touching, tasting, hearing, smelling and sometimes come from emotions.

             There are a different mental images and one of them are memory images, these images are historical images, captured as an evidence of the past events. These images my be in the form of photos or our own memory stored inside our brain.
             

            Next mental images we were introduced to are Imaginary Images, image that is produced through our imagination. Like how kids sometimes imagine cloud as floting cotton candy in the sky, cracks on the floor as fissure and so on. These images are not images that we see through our eyes but are images produced by imagination.

          There are also Hypnagogic images, these images are images we see, scenario we experience and hallucination we felt through various means : lucid dream, twilight zone and sensory phenomena. It can also be triggered by using drugs to cause hallucination. 

                                

         Next is after images, these images are optical illusion that refers to an image continuing to appear in one's vision after the exposure to the original image has ceased. 

       

       Mental images can also be produced with the eidetic ability, people gifted with the eidetic ability are like a human camera, they are able to capture the scenery in their mind and translate in on paper.

       

1st group assignment!!

        The 1st CTS group assignment is here!!! We were given 2 option do use it as reference: I, Robot and Foundation by Issac Asimov, and based on these references we must interpret it into 3D form. My group the Juxtapose Artist decide to use I, Robot as reference, we read the summary of each book and we also look through the moives I, Robot staring Will Smith. After the research we each come up with some ideas, concept and mind map to show Mr.Charles during the group tutorial in starbucks, he picked out some of the more interesting ones and give us some advice. When he looked through those mind map, he also challange Chong Han Xien, our group representative to read some of Salman Rushdie's book and try to understand it.
