Utterubbish! useLESS!

as mentioned by the fad girl previously, we singaporeans actually do celebrate designs as well! joy and i took time out on saturday to check out "this is UTTERUBBISH!", which was held at city hall.

with singaporeans getting more conscious of the importance of being environmental-friendly, the exhibition revolves around reinventing what is perceived as waste into something that "creates value, whether social, economic, commercial, cultural, functional, emotional or intellectual". many artpieces were impressive- the design, the concept and the practicality. however, there are some works that were obviously pushing it - for instance, think reducing (recall the 3Rs - reduce, reuse and recycle) the usage of space by using staircase was nothing new. in my honest opinion, those are really utter rubbish - yes, pun intended.

one thing that really impressed me was jonathan harris' work, wefeelfine.

it is almost like a database that detects blogs with words "feel" or "feeling". as bloggers are usually required to register with their particulars, it is able to categorize the data as follows:

another reason to view the blog is the visuals! it is available in 6 different formats,

one, madness







i thought people like me, who appreciate randomness might love this. each colour represent each emotion. so take your pick and read the quote!

two, murmurs




if you prefer structure, you might prefer this!

three, montage




my personal favourite!




now we know why a picture paints thousand words! if not for the picto, i would have thought that the blogger meant bangs as in fringe!

four, mob

five, metrics

last but not least, mounds.

go explore the site and bet youd enjoy the site as much as i did! if this is not enough for you, and you want to see more of jonathan harris works, go to this site. have fun!
