Letting my eyes readjust to the real world brings in to question the more nuanced effects of technology in everyday life.</p> <p>Are these colors right? Is the monitor backlight just the right hue of white? How do my eyes adjust to the slight blurriness of the virtual representations in my monitor? How does having an image two feet in front of my face eight hours a day affect my vision?</p>http://soyoungsh.in/post/20553029788http://soyoungsh.in/post/20553029788Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:16:00 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1u5e3egyg1qzcmsjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>I won’t go in to details, but I had a very heroic kayaking run today.

Folks are welcomed in to play with the clay, create, but aren’t allowed to take the works out, unless it’s traded for other ceramics. I got so in to it.</p> <p>The shirt shadow is sitting across the room from a beautiful elephant on a shelf, which I’d commented on when I walked in. When the gallery sitter Joey (is that what they’re called?) saw what I’d done, he remarked, it was as if the two arts were in competition with each other, about who was the real art. After which I barked,</p> <blockquote> <p>fuck you elephant, this is real art, you’re just craft!</p> </blockquote> <p>of course it was in jest. That elephant was legit.</p> <p>The perspective fun button just got weirder and weirder. I stopped when I noticed the clay wasn’t sticking to the wall anymore. There’s something gratifying using a 3d material to make a 2d drawing about 3d.</p>http://soyoungsh.in/post/19933873544http://soyoungsh.in/post/19933873544Sun, 25 Mar 2012 19:23:00 -0700<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MV_jPQrdnE8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Slow Club - Me and You</p> <p>A continuation of this series where I post music videos of female [co-]fronted bands.</p>http://soyoungsh.in/post/19690011672http://soyoungsh.in/post/19690011672Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:46:22 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m13cao69FN1qzcmsjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>In the past few months, I’ve received over a hundred facebook password reset emails.
