Our world is connected with a variety of clues. Some of them we cannot see, but it is still there. Any action will lead to an effect on another object. In quantum mechanics, it is called quantum entanglement. One feature of quantum mechanics is uncertainty. As we know there was a famous experiment called Schrödinger's Cat. We never know the cat is still alive before we open the box. There is also a black cube in my practice of research. No colour and reflection. Then I started to watch and document the variation on it from outside to inside. That is Observation. However, if I try to open the box, the result could not be like as simple as alive or died. Even though it could be worse, but my hand is still out of control because I am curious and enthusiastic to know what happened inside. That is curiosity as my motivation to explore the world of art. However, the path of discovery is not flat. So it is time to step beyond the textbook to identify problems, just like Tinkering as Method to explore the unknown area of art. In the creative field, the form of objects is supposed to be variable rather than trapping in inertial thinking. Why the toilet cannot be used as a bowl? Why shoes cannot have a perception? We Found every Object that should be not Exhausted. Appearance should not be the cage of an object, instead, just a form that defines how we use it. As same as object, Place should not be just a container of objects and characters. A dusty corner could carry a series of story. A fly may be died here by a flight accident due to it was drunk and hit on a cobweb left by a careless spider. A pair of tiny wings could be left in that corner, which is gradually becoming a part of the place. The story never stops because it will be passed by the place. In this stage, Characters have their own tale as known as Events. No matter tall or short, fat or thin, characters will adapt to the environment by several events. It could be blizzard, earthquakes and an explosion from a volcano. Characters will be shaped by what they experienced instead of what we gave it. With thousand years elapsing through the flowing history, time is no longer a certain form or a measuring tool. As a material, Time could be applied in a variety of forms. It is not necessary to go straight forward. Take a step back is also a choice to create an atmosphere. In the film making, reverse the timeline could lead to unexpected results. (REW DAY could be a good example)

We are working with several advanced software and techniques. Decades of years ago, background music can only be loaded in a tiny memory device. But it was not the barrier stopping artists to create fantastic music. Instead, it is like Forces which pushes them to adapt to the environment of creation. Just like the wind while surfing, forces could be the wind which encourages artists to enhance their works. 

The process of exploration was like the course. What I discovered refine what I have learnt.
