「黃金時裳：巴黎與倫敦1947至1957年」

Is it really a passion for creation only ?

Actually I don't like the "bags" of "LV"... Maybe I don't like the feeling of "factitious" and "pompous" ... So before I didn't expect to watch this exhibition, "LOUIS VUITTON A PASSION FOR CREATION". But after I visited the show in the Hong Kong Museum of Art, found that it is an inspirational exhibition, especially for those people who would like to understand the historical context of a brand. But if you have different understanding in "Consumerism", you may ask what had happened in our art field ?

Network Diagram

This is a very interesting approach to study and analysis my own cultural structure. I found there have so many methodologies to categorize the contacts I've got, but the key point is what is my research objective.

As this time, when I think how to get the full informations about my cultural network, I'm naturally think of the some electronic platforms, for example, my mobile's phonebook, the email account, the online friends group etc.

So this network diagram is focus on the electronic apparatus to study. I'm trying to classify different media with special methodology.

During the investigation, I've got a new chance to renew, rethink and reconstruct my own cultural network.

Angels & Demons

The movie on May 14 2009

"Angels and Demons", was published in the American writer Dan Brown's best-selling novel. It was created before his another well-known book, "The Da Vinci Code", actually it is the second part of Dan Brown's works, which focus to explore the contention between "religion" and "science" in moral issues.
