- 36. http://www.leemingwei.com/projects.php# A childhood photograph of my mother holding my hand, me dressed entirely in clothing she had made for me, was the point of inspiration for "Fabric of Memory." The photo was taken on my very first day of kindergarten, and the idea of being away from my parents made me very unhappy. I finally agreed to go to school after mom told me to think of the jacket I was wearing as her embracing me throughout the day. For "Fabric of Memory", I focused on personal clothing and other fabric items in the possession of Liverpool residents; items made for them in childhood by parents, grandparents, other relatives or persons close to them. I asked them to search their homes for such items, ones they had treasured and kept, then write down all they could remember about these— who made them, when, how they were used, and whatever other memories and associations they evoked. Thus, when a museum visitor opens one of the wooden boxes, they find not only the object, but a very personal story about, a story which reveals the intimate relationship between the object's receiver and its maker.
- 37. What is your pieces “emotional engineering?” (think of the verbs you want people to feel)How do you think that emotional engineering may affect the viewer when they experience the formal or conceptual “gap” you design in your piece as a whole ? How do the verbs in practical building help connote the verbs you want people to feel?
Editor's Notes
- Bunraku is a Japanese form or puppetry wherein the puppeteer, draped in black, has his head and hands attached to a seated puppet, resulting in eerily lifelike movements that mimic the puppeteer's own. The direct analogy of movement, from head to head, from hand to hand, with nothing lost in the translation, is what makes this form of puppetry so believable. We took it to the extreme with this puppet, linking the puppeteer's head, chest, waist, arms, and feet to the corresponding puppet body parts. The result is a large-scale creature with very natural movements, capable, seemingly, of walking on its own. Wearing black velvet suits allowed the puppeteers to be "matted out" of the shots.
- Danish scientists have made a scientific discovery with significant humanitarian and environmental potential. They have shown that it is possible to produce plants which change colour in the presence of specific compounds within the soil, opening the way for the first bomb and land-mine detection plant.Danish Company Aresa Biodetection has been working on the plant for several years but has now developed the plant to the stage where it is a becoming commercially viable biodetection system and can change colour from green to red within 3-5 weeks of growth. This technology is being developed to detect explosives present in landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) in soil, as well as to detect and remove heavy metals in polluted soil. The invention may significantly speed the removal of landmines and UXO in cultivatable areas to permit the subsequent use of cleared areas for agriculture to maximize socio-economic benefits. The plants will be tested and gradually introduced in landmine and UXO removal operations as the technology matures.The landmine is one of the most insidious devices ever created by human hands. There are more than 100 million landmines buried and active in the world today. Another 100 million are stockpiled and ten million are produced annually. More than a million people have been killed or maimed by landmines since 1975. Half of all adults who stand on a mine die before they reach hospital. Children, being smaller, are more likely to die from their injuries, though there are still more than 300,000 children alive who have been severely disabled by landmines.

- the oldest prosthesis ever found is a a big toe. Made out of wood and leather and dating back to Ancient Egypt, scientists are still trying to figure out whether this gargantuan monstrosity was actually used or buried with the body as part of the mummification ritual.Talk about attachments- inserts of products whose GAP implies a connection/insert/use for some?
