On the Other Way

紐約!!
它實在是個多采多姿充滿活力的大都會
更重要的, 這裡埋藏著世界上最大當代藝術的寶藏
能親眼目睹那些從前只能在書本上見到的原作實在太令人興奮
每個週末都興沖沖地跑去參觀那些國際級的大美術館與數不盡的畫廊

唯有大自然才是世上最美好的美術館
在旅行這麼一段時間
看了這麼多展覽, 美術館, 畫廊和作品後
我深深覺得
它是藝術家最好的靈感來源和心靈慰藉
不論小至一粒細沙, 或大至無垠海天宇宙
有形無形的生命非生命
那之間蘊含的故事, 意義與暗喻
若能領略一二, 便受用不盡
其實不只藝術家, 對任何人都是
我們都靜靜被包覆其中
 
原文如下:
 

      Besides, after traveling and visiting so many places and museums, I reached another simple conclusion:

Nature is the best teacher for creators and the largest (and free!) art museum in the world. It’s the most

abundant resource of ideas and the most precious consolation of minds. No matter how small it is, even a

grain of sand on the beach, or how large it is, such as the unlimited universe, we can be greatly benefited if

able to grasp some stories, truths, and metaphors hidden behind all the tangible and intangible sentient and

non-sentient beings. We are actually part of it.

想法來源:
美術館, 深思, 與自然

去年暑假, 我和我妹妹在歐洲旅行了三個月
那是我第二次造訪歐洲
除了盡可能多參觀藝術展出外
我們並沒有其它太多規畫
結果我們造訪了超過20間以上的美術館與大型展覽

為何選擇時間基礎的媒體藝術? 事實上
我從小就對繪畫有興趣
但它卻是一種擁有最長久文化內涵的藝術形式
必須具備一定水準的技術與知識才能進入它的領域
想成為畫家的人, 都需要不斷練習, 練習, 再練習

      Actually, I’m really tired of the trend of pursuing sensual stimulation in today’s world, especially
visual stimulation. Everything related to vision is required to be attractive, fancy, and exciting. There are
explosive quantities of special effects with only one destination – to increase the consumption. Any
method that can bring in more money is the “right” aesthetic method (try to consider what does “right”
mean in the art world and design world). As a result, in our daily life, just as Jean Baudrillard has said,

     The world of contemporary art has totally released me. There is no limitation, including gravity.
One can express one's ideas in any possible ways, with any kind of medium, and in numerous topics. I didn't
touch this field before. My knowledge about art history stopped at Vincent van Gogh and was almost a blank
after him. I studied as much as possible about everything related to modern and contemporary art with great
bliss. In addition, I knew my best friend, Jiunmien Goh, in the class. We had the same purposes – to study

KAI-MIN HSIUNG     2008
      I want to be an artist!!
      This is not the answer announced by an innocent kindergarten kid. It’s the most serious and earth-
shattering decision I made in my life – a decision which tears all the efforts I have done apart and may
turn my life upside down in the future. I, Kai-Min Hsiung, was twenty-six years old, an ordinary university
