Kuo-Yi [Ken] Shen

The starting point of making a reference to a graphic image of a bottle and its cap, or some device with an aperture and a container, supposed to be used as a basis for a concept is both difficult to consume or understand, nor is it of much interest to most. However Ken might indeed have something hidden away, to be revealed at the end perhaps. yet at the end, there was building, rather simple, legibly a building with al the correct spaces, and perhaps not as extraordinary as he had made it.

The real project is one of senses. This is where Ken scores. The application of colors and introducing very graphic interior elements helped to clarify and position the project, but sadly, perhaps not, the blind man cannot appreciate these things. it is really a project that should be developed around the blind man and his inability to see color let alone shape, form and so on. ken landed a big fish, but its not certain if he wants to cook it the way it should be. Needs more work redefining the concept. Go back to step 1, and restart. It should work.

Look up the work of Stockhausen the modernist musician who works graphically, observe and study his sketches they might be able to inspire you, and lead you to something else... he seems able to "draw" sounds and noises and imply and implicate movements from his sketches, you need to REVERSE this..
