Mish-Mash

It's turning out to be a very colourful academic week. From analyzing martial arts as a form of nationalism to writing a hard news story; from understanding comics to hypertexuality; from understanding texts to sound, from collage to photomontage... i feel like an elastic rubber band now... after hours of working on my journal, i feel liberated yet restricted. I wish i could dwelve in these topics more, especially the one about collage. I was having fun browsing through arts sites this morning and felt so ashamed that i've came to know about Braque, Lutz, Herzel and CK Wilde only now. Collage is not simply picking up garbage and putting them together, it's about interpretation and sending out a message. Each work is philosophy in the making, and how i wish i had the intellect and knowledge to understand them. Or about sounds, experimental music, documentaries. I find myself facing them like a virgin to a seasoned lover. Naked, vulnerable, nervous, embarassed, clumsy.
