Manifesto


Life.

Life celebrates diversity.
Life celebrates differences.
Life celebrates humanity.

Regardless of age, attire, or build.
Regardless of class, color, or culture.
Regardless of education, flavor, or gender.
Regardless of hair style, income level, or interest.
Regardless of life style, location, or philosophy.
Regardless of profession, physique, or race.
Regardless of religion, role, or sexual taste.

Life is equilibriumism.
Life is everything and nothing.
Life is all of us and none of us.

Identity + Manifesto


  • Life = All colors = Whole Spectrum
    Cyan, Yellow and Magenta are the primary color pigments utilized in printing technology and is capable of creating every single color you see today. SML Tech Talk: The color black (K in the CMYK) is added into the mix because the ink or pigment we use today are not capable of reproducing a true black mixing CMY together. Additionally, firing a single black drop will create less of a dot gain then firing three-times the amount of pigment.

  • Life = He | She | It
    Throughout history, mother nature has been described as a male (cyan), a female (magenta), or genderless. The context from which you look at life changes--from the inside, from the outside and everything in between.

  • Life = Magic
    Life is magical (yellow) and full of its wonders. It creates the synergy between a man and a woman, the yin and the yang, the ideological state of equilibrium.

  • Life = All of Us = None of Us
    Life is all of us because it encompasses everything that you see / hear / feel / touch / taste. Life is none of us because it is formed as a united decentralized network of people regardless of (A-Z).

Wikipedia: Fine art


Fine art refers to arts that are concerned with a limited number of visual and performing art forms, including painting, sculpture, dance, theatre, architecture and printmaking. Schools, institutes, and other organizations still use the term to indicate a traditional perspective on the art forms, often implying an association with classic or academic art.


The word "fine" does not so much denote the quality of the artwork in question, but the purity of the discipline. This definition tends to exclude visual art forms that could be considered craftwork or applied art, such as textiles. The more recent term visual arts is widely considered to be a more inclusive and descriptive phrase for today's variety of current art practices, and for the multitude of mediums in which high art is now more widely recognized to occur. Ultimately, the term fine in 'fine art' comes from the concept of final cause, or purpose, or end, in the philosophy of Aristotle. The final cause of fine art is the art object itself; it is not a means to another end except perhaps to please those who behold it.


An alternative, if flippant, reference to "fine art," is capital "A" art, or, art with a capital "A."


The term is still often used outside of the arts to denote when someone has perfected an activity to a very high level of skill. For example, one might metaphorically say that "Pelé took football to the level of a fine art."


That fine art is seen as being distinct from applied arts is largely the result of an issue raised in Britain by the conflict between the followers of the Arts and Crafts Movement, including William Morris, and the early modernists, including Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group. The former sought to bring socialist principles to bear on the arts by including the more commonplace crafts of the masses within the realm of the arts, while the modernists sought to keep artistic endeavour exclusive, esoteric, and elitist.


Confusion often occurs when people mistakenly refer to the Fine Arts but mean the Performing Arts (Music, Dance, Drama, etc). However, there is some disagreement here, as, for example, at York University, Fine Arts is a faculty that includes the "traditional" fine arts, design, and the "Performing Arts".


An academic course of study in fine art may include a Master of Fine Arts degree.


美術


美術是一種藝術,一般指除了建築藝術之外的造型藝術的通稱,一般分為兩大類,即:純美術和工藝美術兩類.

Wikipedia: ファインアート


ファインアート (fine art, fine arts)は、芸術的価値を専らにする活動や作品を指す概念。 日本語の芸術とほぼ同義であるが、とくに応用芸術、大衆芸術と区別して純粋芸術を意味する場合に使われる。芸術の中でも美術について使われることが多く、この場合、応用美術に対して純粋美術とも。


ファインアートは、ハイカルチャーを構成する一部分である。ハイアート(high art)はファインアートとほぼ同義だが、ファインアートは応用芸術との対比で、ハイアートは大衆芸術との対比で使われることが多い。


代表的なファインアートは絵画、彫刻であり、これに対するイラストやデザイン、工芸と峻別されるが、20世紀最後の四半期以降、その領域は互いに浸透し、区分は曖昧なものになりつつある。

Homo Magi is a term to describe a sub-race of magic-using humans in the DC Universe. The Homo Magi evolved in a parallel but separate line, alongside Homo Sapiens. Homo Magi and Metahumans account for most of the superhuman abilities in the DC Universe. (Wikipedia: Homo Magi)

Meta Human is a term to describe superhumans in the DC Universe. It is roughly synonymous with both mutant and mutate (in the Marvel Universe) and posthuman in the Wildstorm and Ultimate Marvel Universes. Use of the term in reference to superheroes was coined in 1986 by author George R. R. Martin, first in the Superworld role playing system, and then later in his Wild Cards series of novels.

Happiness = Pride


June 22 - 24, 2007 is officially the happiest weekend I have had in my entire life. I spent the weekend taking photographs of the most uniquely talented and creative bunch of people I have ever been with and in turn made many wonderful friends along the way.I thank you all for demonstrating the diversity and pleasure of life to me.


I took 1000+ photos over that weekend. My Gay Pride New York 2007 (Flickr Collection) consists of the following Flickr sets:

On July 7th, 2007, I finished processing all the photographs.


I was immensely touched by the humanity, diversity and the spirit of life from my experience, and I wrote a manifesto about the celebration of life. On the same day, I started the following Flickr groups to honor the men and women who have inspired and continue to provide support to me in the past, present and future:
