Francis Bacon at Tate Britain

Posted on 9th Jan 2009

So, now it's about Francis Bacon。 As I got a strong impression from the poster at the tube, I was so interested in this exhibition, and found this web content. Well, it looked a bit complicated to look into the detail, so I went to the museum anyway... I hadn't been to Tate Britain. It […]

TED TALK

Posted on 7th Dec 2008

The website TED TALK, contents on this site are sometimes introduced as learning resource in the course. I even hadn't known about the conference, but it's so interesting.... Of course sometimes it's a bit too difficult to catch English...but it's good practice for me anyway! I also like the design of the site. On the […]

Posted on 18th Nov 2008

So, the onedotzero report No.2. For some reasons, I went to see another movie named "j-star08" on Sunday. It consists of short motion graphics by 20 Japanese creators, including music video, short animation, adverts etc... and it was much better than I expected! The director of the event talked at the beginning, but he said […]

I went to see the event "onedotzero" last weekend with my friends. It's an event of "motion image", and it seems it was held in Japan last year as well. As the website says "There are some interactive installations", so I was so looking forward to it. But they are not so big... I'd like […]

Posted on 22nd Sep 2008

I went to Digital Design Week at Southbank Centre in London Design Festival. Well, I think the event was not so good... They had a seminar by apple talking about a workflow of digital design process, and a debate about new media by i-design. I was not afford to listen to i-design as it was […]

Upon the Thames

Posted on 16th Sep 2008

I like walking along the Thames. I think, around Westminster is always full of tourist, but around Design Museum which located near to Tower Hill is rather less people and good place to relax. If the weather is good, Tower Bridge looks amazing as well. The museums on Japanese tour guidebook are usually something focus […]

Laws of Simplicity

Posted on 2nd Apr 2008

As this books hasn't been translated into Japanese, I reluctantly started to read it in English. And finally I finished it!!! John Maeda, a professor at the media labo in MIT, writes about "simplicity". Althought the volume of the book itself it not so big.... ...Difficult! So difficult! He uses a lot of examples of […]
