发酵·Fermentation，是插画艺术家Shadow Chen与摄影师Ka Xiaoxi合作的一个拼贴作品。Shadow Chen把咖式影像放大、镜像、重塑以及大量重复，照片里记录的青春在这个过程中发酵，既是二位创作人对青春的各自诠释，整幅作品也在启发每一个观者，去重新寻找和理解属于自己的青春的含义。

有些问题需要被放大，催化，发酵才能看明白，青春也是这个样子，它如此疯狂，鲁莽，不屑，同时也充满着灵感和欲望，在被放大之前，它其实一直默默地存在在每个生命里，无论我们怎么长大，怎么衰老，它都还是一样在作用着我们。

青春可以被理解为欲望，色彩和香料，我们换着方式在寻找它，理解它，接受它，每次都会得到同一个道理，但每次都会感觉更加地明白它。

Sometimes things need to be magnified, catalyzed, and fermented before they can be clearly seen. So it is with YOUTH. It is all at once crazy, reckless, and mighty, yet full of inspiration and desire. Noticed or not, youth is in fact quietly alive in every life, and no matter how old we grow, youth is – and always will be – fermenting inside us.

Youth can be seen as appetite, color, and spice. We all use different methods to seek it, understand it, and accept it. And although we end-up arriving at the same truth again and again, we feel closer to it each time we reach out for it.

Shadow Chen

Shadow Chen is an illustrator and graphic designer but shares an equal passion for almost every form of visual art including traditional painting, digital art, and mixed media. Shadow’s inspiration comes from her surroundings, people and music and her style is distinctive – full of colors, often in liquid, psychedelic forms and sprinkled with Chinese traditional twists.

Brand Spirit 是广告人Andrew Miller刚刚完成的一个项目：他用100天时间将100件人们所熟知的商品完全涂白，它们依然有极高的辨识度。商业人在学习艺术时候萌生的这个想法其实颇有意思，他也在考虑新的创作方向，并打算今后制作Art Prints出售。

去Logo化这个命题其实早有，不新鲜，如Muji等品牌的诞生。这个项目之所以引人，大概是100件商品中多为八九十年代的经典，让当代人有怀旧感，且白色之美始终给人好感。

Brand Spirit: every day for 100 days, Andrew Miller painted one branded object white, removing all visual branding, reducing the object to its purest form. He  can purchase each object for less than $10, it can be something he owns, something another person gives him, or something he find.

光，变化无穷，对我们的生活来说至关重要。而在香港LED艺术家罗扬文(aka: Teddy Lo)的眼中，它则成了最佳的艺术表现形式。早在2003年，Teddy便在纽约举办LED展览，一举成名。对他来说，光是抽象的媒介，通过科技与美学的再创造，能带给观者更为奇妙的体验，而通过光带给观者的感受，也传递了艺术家的想法和信息。

光的动态和流畅性常常引发Teddy去打破极限，重新设计其形式、扩散和整体效果，他是如此痴迷于将观者带入幻象世界。那些用LED光源创造出的京剧脸谱和骷髅幻想，真让人叹为观止。

Teddy Lo is a Hong Kong-based LED artist known for his work in the “tech-art” scene. Lighting is a very abstract medium that incorporates technology and aesthestics in creating psychological and emotional experiecne.

Teddy Lo is so interested in exploring ways to “tap” into people’s psyche and leave a long lasting impression.Light Emitting Diode is one of the most intriguing elements that he has encountered in the life.
