Meeting for an interactive art exhibition on November

I had a meeting with David, Christina and Chen at Central Saint Martins.
David is organiging new interactive exhibition which supposed to be happened in November as his final project.
It is a collaborative project with other students form different background with other asian students. It was the first meeting to see other students excluded David.

David is MA fashion management student in LCF from Beijing. Christina graduated CSM BA womens fashion from Hong Kong. Chen is MA stage design in CSM from Shanghai.

Then I might help some interaction part on this exhibiton.
The exhibition is based on Fashion with interaction. I haven't seen other artist's work, but Christina's her final garmets are quite playful and tactile. I liked them.

David's organizing is quite good. He is helpful and friendly. I know most of student works are done by last minutes, but his time scheduling is precise, and always sending infomation with other artists. I am quite happy to help his project. I hope I will not too busy on next November.

I graduated finally!

Me on Hakama

Westminster central hall

With my dear tutor, Joel. He named "iBum"!!! He is an excellent tutor!!!


I attended my graduation ceremony of London College of Communication BA Graphic and Media design. It was held at Westminster central hall.

I was wearing Hakama which is Japanese formal dress. So It was heavy to walk around, but I had a good day.
The clothes are really popular in Japan for graduation ceremony, but it isn't in UK. So everyone was looking me,say wow! and taking pictures. It was great experience.
I was preparing to wear it since May, so I am glad to do it. Thanks my mum to send it to London.
My friend, Ricca helped me to wear the kimono from 8:30 am. It took half hour to put on. (It is difficult to wear by myself...)
She is a professional Kimono dresser based on London. So if you want to wear kimono properly,
I can introduce her. I really appreciated her help!! She is great!

The hall was great place, and I was really happy to see my classmates and tutors!
Many thanks, everyone!

By the way, my iBum's video is viewed by 24000 people!

Kings place photos

I put some photos of kings place in Kings cross.
I visited there last week for getting ideas of new music event which I will help on February 2009.
The event is organized by Arctic circle which is London based experimental music organization.
I have already associated them twice in last two years. And this event's organizer, Ben Eshmade liked my "Here, fishy fishy" performance which I have done at the Union Chapel in last December.
Ben wants to get new human interactive fun stuff within new venue on next February.
We are still thinking about ideas, but it should be enjoyable thing. He wants to make the event something beyond a music event.
We were talking the idea to move projector by trolleys within the place by strange eskimos. Or do some face painting? Still we have many possibilities!

I am really appreciated to Ben for inviting me such a great opportunity.
The Kings Place is brand new, and lovely clean venue!

my iBum video was accessed by nearly 7000people!

I really appreciated to be accessed to my iBum video by a lot of people.
It is amazing for me, now it was viewed nearly 7000 people.
It was 30 views two weeks ago. I hope I can show the work more bigger places.

By the way, I am thinking to buy High definition video camera.
I used to use uni's HD cam, but I am no longer a student. So I need to buy one by myself.
Maybe I might buy Sony's XR500V. Looks like it is cheaper in Japan.
So I might buy it in Japan. But a problem is it is NTSC if I will buy it in Japan, mmm,, it might be problematic. But, if I will transfer every datas to my computer, then if I convert into PAL, that should be all right. Well, I need to think about it later on. But definately I need to buy good quality video cam. I have a SD cam, but it is horrible picture. I can't stand the quality at all...
So, I will think about it soon--!
