Artist Statement (3)

Gadget used : digital camera,computer,keychain flashlight
Application used : adobe flash, windows movie maker
Theme : insomnia
Type : Stop motion

Artist Statement : Most people living in the city have sleeping problems. Regardless their age and gender, sleeping disorder is a common thing for us today. The night is restless with all the lights and noise from outside the window. Some say when they tried to sleep, their mind will start to remember what they have done throughout the whole day or some past memories.While others claimed that the small noises and lights around them is disturbing their rest. My video will be about that disturbing feeling that most people experience to show what they feel before they sleep.

Chosen Idea

INSOMNIA 

My thought of insomnia
Some of us have trouble to sleep at night. Be it when you're tired or just need to sleep for another daily routine. BUT,there's always that small disturbance that prevents you from sleeping... sounds..lights..or even thoughts. How do you over come it? 

What is Insomnia?
Insomnia, or sleeplessness, is a sleep disorder in which there is an inability to fall asleep or to stay asleep as long as desired. While the term is sometimes used to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, insomnia is often practically defined as a positive response to either of two questions: "Do you experience difficulty sleeping?" or "Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?


Insomnia is most often thought of as both a sign and a symptom that can accompany several sleep, medical, and psychiatric disorders characterized by a persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Insomnia can occur at any age, but it is particularly common in the elderly. Insomnia can be short term (up to three weeks) or long term (above 3–4 weeks), which can lead to memory problems, depression, irritability and an increased risk of heart disease and automobile related accidents

INSOMNIA + Media Art Project 01

In this project, I will be using stop motions and light trails technique, combine them to make into a video. I find it interesting to use lights as they can show lots of meaning and it is suitable for the theme based on the explanation above.
