  • Hanging decipher

    Hanging art work is easy for me. It just takes time. I am probably doing slowly. Somebody said, “You are meticulous.” I hope she meant in a good way.

    I hung eight bow-shaped round rods with 6″ mid-range speaker. The sound quality was not that great in the Second Street Gallery, so I need to change my circuit a little bit. Now I am thinking if I insert Art T8 noise canceler or one tiny capacitor between pos. and neg. on the speakers.

    The installing for decipher should be stopped today since my other projects for solo exhibition, Emotional Echo: Separation, must be installed until September 9th. I haven’t finished a project for window display in the ISE Cultural Foundation, yet, which I started in the Vermont Studio Center residency program in June. I have to wait the materials a few days more.

    The process for decipher will stay until September 10th, then I will start it again and finish it up by September 14th. You will see.

  • Three projects

    Usually, I work on two or three projects at the same time. Here, I have the circuits for decipher and crossroads, which I will start to install from September 2nd, and also a remote control machine that may be for another project. There is no space for my MacBook on the tiny messy desk at home.

  • Ceiling for decipher

    decipher, site-specific installation, was originally created for Second Street Gallery, which ceiling height is 10′. Now I need to install it in the gallery 12′ high. I used thin wires to lower the ceiling in 10′ high. Now I noticed the fact that I need to extend the wires about 10″ in order to reach the connectors. To extend the wires is easy though, it eats extra time.

  • Start to install “decipher”

    Started to install decipher in the University Art Gallery at Stony Brook University. It is for the Faculty Exhibition 2010, which will open on Wednesday 9/15. For installing decipher, it will take about 3 days if there is no technical problem without interruption. I need to test out my new electronic circuit for 12V light, so I prefer to take time. At the same time, I am still developing a new work for a window display gallery in the ISE Cultural Foundation Gallery. I do multiple things in same time.

    Hidden materials(?) for decipher. The 8 black terminals on the white board are for the cables of sound and light signals. The board will be installed on the ceiling. In the left, there is a hexagon shape black bowl, which will be hang under the board in 10′ height, then 8 bow-shaped round rods will be attached.
