Week4 Response

 
Hello, these are my photos relating on framing. Some of them were taken months ago. So, it means that I  have done active and passive framing unconsciously. I tried to remember why I do passive and active framing on different or same objects. Then I got the conclusion. 

In active framed photos, something is emphasized and weakens the surrounding environment. I do it because, I want to shoot something clearly.

In passive framed photos, observers will move their eyes because there is no obvious emphasis. Just like landscape photos, there is the overall beauty from the sky to the sea, as well as the detailed beauty from clouds to waves.

Of course, there are some photos that I can't quite determine whether it is an active or passive frame. I put two at last. Please see the end if you are interested in analysis. 

In addition, the framing idea remind me a video. I think it actively framing a lot.

At Halloween in AC.


I changed the pot for mint. Definitely, you can know what's going on on passive framed photo.


In the candle shop near LU.

I took a walk in downtown and found this statue. It looks like a camel.

I saw a bird in fog weather on the LU bridge. It was so tiny. I don't know why my eyes are so acute. I went to it very slowly so I took a close photo. 

The first one was in an elevator, and the second was in the candle shop. They are different not only because frame passively or actively, but also because the direct or indirect light sources. 


These two, I don't know whether they are active or passive. If they are active, why other things interrupting in? If they are passive, why I still know the focus. Are they in the middle? Also, I think the mirror have a double framing effect in the first one. And, the light and shadows reming me the window and the cup outside the frame. 




The active framed video which made me feel like eating poisonous mushrooms, or like being hit by magic.

The Global Village‘s Backside.

The Video The Instagram did hid the ad about Blurb from me. However, this is enough to prove that instagram and blurb share the data of consumers and users on both sides. As it literally meaning, it's hidden, it's gone on my ins, but that doesn't mean the leakage of my personal privacy has stopped. I always see the advertisements when shopping or searching on other websites. This reminds me of a word: big data. Big data can push you a lot of the same or similar things according to the keywords you search and read. Some apps even share data, so that you can see conditioner ads on other websites after you buy shampoo on one website. With the global popularity of the network, the network eliminates the time and space between people all over the world. Facebook, Messenger, instagram, zoom, wechat, all kings of emails... Even if you need to contact Party A on the other side of the world, you can still communicate quickly and conveniently through the network. Because of this conv

Jingquan's Flicker posts

Guess what's on the right.                  The environment as a processor of information is propaganda (McLuhan, 142). Nowadays the medias only want to show the information they can make profit with. Most of them are personal showing off, or are including commercial or political purpose. Some even has strong personal perspective, and the bad thing is one people can be none bias when expressing their social values. If we only observe information provide by others but not thinking. We will lose our own point of view. So, it is important to keep awake, thinking if the information is propaganda or not.             For my work, I took about 500 photos. Then I found my topic: the natural and humanistic art embellishment of my life. I formed my own point of view after obervating on campus, along the street in downtown, in the woods by the river, and in the community nearby. You can have your own understanding after looking at these photos. I won't speak my views that might mislead

IMAGE & INTENTION: A MESSAGE WITHOUT A CODE

   I selected this photo when I was organizing my photos. It doesn't have textual message. SO,  it is doubtless necessary to go back to partially illiterate societies, to a sort of pictographic state of the image. Image Illustration: ➡️ Symbolic message: an old garden. (A lot of plants in pots, wild cats, and concrete ground). An old garden with mice. ➡️ Connoted message: The garden was highly possibile built in the 1950s, and it is located in an area most likely in southern China. The manager of the garden was most likely elderly. The largest plant, it is called sago palm whose academic name is Cycas Revoluta . It is wildly planted in southern China, or in southern Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia.  Sago palm's HISTORY BACKGROUND : During China's economic difficulties (1958-1962), when there was a famine in many places, farmers in the area where the sorrel originated dug up the roots of the tree to remove the toxic ingredients and then made starch for consumption . T
