JOYLAND 2013

Much of your enjoyment at festival is dictated by the weather but this Joyland Festival took place at the moment where the puddles of rain cannot be avoided. But there's always a chance to recover the mood once your shoes have been smudged by mud.
This two-days-music-festival was held by GProduction and I was invited to be this year's Art Director. Honestly, this is my first time art directing an event, I was in charge of making all the visual stuff, from the printed material like ticket, programme book, flyers, and poster, digital promotional material, and also the decorations. Without a help of a good friend Nico as my assistant designer, I would die. Perhaps.
It turned the field into a series of muddy puddles that topped off by tears and laughter.

Hypochondria

This notion is actually discovering what is simmering in someone’s subconscious means that pain and fear is more like a necessary rather the truth than it is articulating.

Questioning the art within the sense of touch, inviting the spectators to walk in the artwork itself. Will the visual affect the sense of touch? Will someone get bother of it?

I myself find it interesting that in this piece spared the conundrum of the fear and the sense of touch.  I must confront: that is my first attempt of making an interactive/touchable work, the question of how one even approaches what kind the ‘right’ method of presenting art?

Throughout developing this piece, it was something I personally worried over – the question of becoming a merely visual piece or not – I would have said no, not really. Spectators are invited to walk in this piece, to feel pain, to be tickled, and to feel.
