a test with mic( a friend should never read / may be forget this story )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

me: after read all, tell me how u read
米 - : [ 說:
我覺得跳嚟睇 (i think it needs "jump-read")

me說:
wt it is about?

米 - : [ 說:
要trace番幅圖
米 - : [ 說:
at the beginning they go shoPping,
米 - : [ 說:
then there's a bear coming out
米 - : [ 說:
a guy came out suddenly and killed that
米 - : [ 說:
then gave a 秘笈 to the mum
米 - : [ 說:
sth like that
米 - : [ 說:
and after that the mum feels confused

me 說:
how u find the order?

米 - : [ 說:
i just read
米 - : [ 說:
and analyze
米 - : [ 說:
i read all the pictures
米 - : [ 說:
and then figure out

米 - : [ 說:
i first start reading from the
米 - : [ 說:
Right
米 - : [ 說:
then figure out that it's not in sequent
米 - : [ 說:
and then after i scan all pics
米 - : [ 說:
i more or less get the story
-------------------------------------------
my friend got the right story outline actually.
first I would like to say from this,
this is possible for other to understand the story ( the meaning ) through their interpretation of the information and association of them (to find out the causality).

the rule-driven reading method makes ppl read comic lazily?
was my friend being an active reader this time?????

refuge
from Refuge - an online graphic novel by Neil Mc Taggart

sort of what I would like to archieve.
simply just about the structure of the spatial displacement work with the content..
but still too greedy of wanting other elements..

about the media he chose using web space, the spatial displacement effect really work out,( same to do it with a real location drawing)

how if i can do more using the medium?
add a time element to it?
..

I like Calvino

2007-01-31T01:24:00.000+08:00

As title, I m sooo fascinated by the structure and the book he wrote.
In my view, I like reading the story at the same time keep thinking the structure of the narrative. It can be said he set up some writing rules to create a very systematic structure for the final outcome.
(trace back my artwork creation in the past years @ cm, some work, esp written work, have strong sense of structure)
is this the creative work in relation to rule base creation always results in this art form???
is this an absolute causal relation?
This of cos let me think about the generative art.
remember the web levitated .
To be frank, I have same viewing exp. with reading the Calvino books.
and when study more art from it, some work are almost a mess as the result of the programmed code.
the structures are hidden and created kinds of mess( those we can nolonger easy to find out their "rules")
is this also the truth of our world?
sorry I go too far...................

anyway, can this be my approach to create my comic story????
structure goes 1st hahah
y not..... I go to try now

some brainstorm

2007-01-31T01:22:00.000+08:00

inspired by the building of a dome
X, Y, Z is the time and space structure for the story

i f book has a volume
