SPIRAL IN NATURE

When I was thinking about what picture I should take for this assignment, I saw my phone covered with a lot of fingerprint, from then I realized what I should take for this assignment. Some fingerprint has a natural spiral pattern. I decided to take fingerprint as my assignment topic because fingerprint is the most unique pattern in the world. Nobody has ever had the same fingerprint with other people. Every human in this world have fingerprints, except for those who has a hereditary disease called adermatogylphia where the person who has this disease do not have a fingerprint. Fingerprint is very useful, it can be used to find a trace of a crime scene, it also can be used to verify our identity.

SUMMARY OF SETH GODIN VIDEO

In this video, seth godin was giving four specific examples. He said that he was going to cover at the end about how a company called silk tripled their sales, how an artist named jeff koons went from being a nobody to making a whole bunch of money and having a lot of impact, how frank gehry redefined what it meant to be an architect, and one of his biggest failures as a marketer in the last few years.

In the beginning He told a story about a guy named otto rohwedder who invented a sliced bread. He said that for the first 15 years after sliced bread was available, no one bought it, it was unknown, and it was a total failure. He said that success is about how can we get our idea to spread.

Silk’s sales tripled by doing something remarkable. They put a 40-foot tall dog made out of bushes in the middle of New York City.

Frank gehry changed an entire city’s economy by designing one building that people from all over the world went to see.

His big failure was he marketed albums straight to people with 20,000 dollar stereos where those people don’t like new music.

oil painting-like picture

when I was sitting in a cafe I saw a bird trying to eat some leftover food outside the window. And I tried to take a picture of it, the result is amazing. it looked like an oil painting because of the texture of the glass window.

human-wood sculpture

i saw this sculpture when i visited marina bay. This artwork is half human and half wood. They carved some part of the wood into a human, and the human seemed to be laying down on the wood. in other words, the wood illustrating a chair. They still keep the shape of the wood and also the texture. There are many sculpture like this around, but i found that this sculpture is the most unusual and interesting of all.

Raindrop sculpture

this raindrop sculpture is located at pomenade MRT station. This sculpture caught my attention. it is very interesting. There is a raindrop stain right below the sculpture. the raindrop sculpture ia attached with a metal string to hang it on the ceiling. seeing this picture makes me wonder how could the thin metal string handle such a heavy sculpture. in my opinion the sculpture is empty in the inside, so that the sculpture is light even if it seemed heavy.
