"Breakthrough" - A Photo Exhibit

Thursday, April 19, 2007

The San Francisco Art Commission (SFAC) and JPG Magazine have teamed up for a show called “Breakthrough: An Amateur Photography Revolution.”

Every photo submitted to our Breakthrough theme will be displayed in the gallery in some fashion. Some will appear in a grid on the photo wall, some in a slideshow, and a select few will be printed and hung in the gallery. And you’re invited to attend the opening! It’ll take place at the gallery on April 20 at 6pm. We’ll also be participating in a panel discussion on the “art and practice of photography in the brave new digital age” on May 31 at 6pm at the Koret Auditorium, San Francisco Public Library.

Happy to say my photo below will be included in the show on display from April 20 - May 31.

Medicine

Saturday, October 08, 2005

I've been a vegetarian for more than ten years now so of course, I was excited to try the new-shojin food at Medicine Eat Station. The minimalistic, all vegetarian dishes date back 500 years to the traditions of Shojin monks. Medicine Eat Station, San Francisco.

EmilyChang.com Launches

Saturday, September 03, 2005

I’ve been keeping my life online at artcodes.com for a long time now, but I’ve decided to return artcodes to its roots as a place for my art experiments and personal life. Today I launched emilychang.com as my blog focused on strategic design and web. That’s the plan anyway. Like life, a website tends to grow and evolve organically often despite our attempts to control it, so I’m taking this as an experiment to see where it leads me.

For thoughts on web, interactive design and trends, visit me at www.emilychang.com. For video, photo, flash, and other art bits, continue to visit me at www.artcodes.com.

Coolpix sky

Wednesday, August 24, 2005

The first 7.1 megapixel photo I’ve ever taken. The first of many photos to come with my new Nikon Coolpix 7900 camera. Max and I have been using a Coolpix 4500 for the few years and it’s been great, but I wanted something more compact (the 7900 weighs 5.3 ounces and fits in my pocket) and a higher resolution. Seeing digital photos at 3500 pixels wide is something else. See more photos.

New bits

Monday, August 22, 2005

Bonjour. I’ve put up a couple of collections of photos and miscellaneous digital material that I’ll be adding to regularly. Check out city bits (photos of words, numbers, signs, symbols, stickers, flyers, receipts, posters, graffiti, paper, and other bits seen in San Francisco) and digital bits (collected from the web).

Symbols and synchronicity

Sunday, August 21, 2005

I mentioned how I like it when synchronicities pop up at different times in an earlier post last week, but I have to mention another odd coincidence because 1) it’s cool and 2) I need your help to find out what this symbol is.

I’d already been thinking about starting a small project to take photos of signs and symbols seen around San Francisco. Yesterday, I took two photos of this symbol on the back of our building. I’d seen it many times before as things like this always catch my eye.

Then as we walked down Harrison to Whole Foods, I took another photo of the great Qube autobody shop from across the street instead of under it as I did in this photo from last Wednesday. When I got home and uploaded the photos to my laptop and saw the shot at full screen, there was the symbol again on the door under the number 765.

Today, I got up and checked a few of my blog readers, made a post about gVisit, the visitor mapping site using Google maps, went to Technorati to search for “gVisit” see if my tagging worked out, and there, just a few entries down in the search results was a variation of the symbol - this time as Dan Cameron’s icon. It has a green square, slightly different shades, and isn’t turned on a point, but it’s pretty close.

Compelled to find out what this symbol is, I googled for all sorts of words and phrases but couldn’t quite find the words to describe it:

symbols seen on buildings = rather general but surprisingly, this yields all sorts of returns having to do with the occult - freaky.

graphical symbols seen on buildings = thought I might have found it with electrical and electronic symbols but those were all line symbols in black and white; health and safety symbols.. nope

graphic signage on buildings = all university signage programs

graphic mechanical symbols = logs of CAD symbols for architecture

graphic safety symbols = warmer? Lots of safety symbols.

It’s interesting with all the power of Google, it’s still of course a language-based search, making it difficult to search for a visual topic. I wish Google had the “find topic by uploading an image” feature that some font services have. Anyway, I tend to think it’s an electrical symbol of some kind, but I’m not sure. I’ll have to ask the building owner if I see him this week. Or, maybe you know?

XML and Flash map of my travels

Friday, August 19, 2005

I found Bryan Boyer’s IndyJunior several years ago when it was still v1.3 and played with it back then. For some reason, it popped into my head again the other day so I went and downloaded the latest version (now 1.6) and have put up a map of my past travels. I’ve made it oversized - IndyGiant, if you will. The flash movie simply calls an XML file with name, location, longtitude and latitude coordinates to plot the points and routes on the map. You can also see a different representation of my travels made with world66.com mapping last March.

Bar code building

Friday, August 12, 2005

I’ve always like the simplicity and functionality of bar codes. In art school, I made a series of oversized bar code prints as rough posters and had a collection of various bar codes pulled from packaging and collected in one sketchbook. So whenever I walk by this green building on Harrison during my walk to 4th street, I notice that it has two oversized bar code-ish signs attached to two of the walls.

SF night

Friday, August 05, 2005

Night time traffic on the interstate as seen from our window. Even after a year, this scene still fascinates me. Any hour of the day or night, endless cars stream across several curved interstate ramps running into the city and diverging onto ramps heading towards the bay bridge. (Shot on digital video, looped and converted to flash.)

Six Apart

Tuesday, July 12, 2005

I’ve moved several times in the last nine years - five moves, three states, and two coasts to be exact. Despite these environmental and physical shifts in my life, it’s ironic that it’s the bloggers from the virtual world (kottke, hchamp, joi ito, dooce, caterina, mightygirl, and many others) that have provided a sense of permanence and consistency while my life and surroundings have often changed radically.

After almost ten years of making and remaking my personal site/blog, my company, Ideacodes is now helping design the next generation of blog services and products for Six Apart, world’s leading blog company. Six Apart was co-founded by Mena and Ben Trott, the creators of Movable Type (the software that launched millions of blogs) and then TypePad. Now that I’ve been in SF for a year, my two worlds (virtual and real) are coming together and I couldn’t be more inspired or thrilled.

Sometimes when I talk to people I meet, clients, or the non-addicted, they’ll ask, “what’s the big deal with blogs?” For me, it’s about the power to engage in what I think most people are after - self-expression, empathy, dialogue, multiple perspectives - the same core ideas on which democracy is based. At its most basic, it’s the opportunity to experience other people’s lives in asynchronous “real” time - a daily timeline paralleling your own life. It’s also about the greater act of being both a consumer and a producer of culture. Once you start using your voice, you’ll find you have a lot to say.

Palm tree

Friday, June 10, 2005

Walking up to Telegraph Hill and saw this dreamy view of the bay. Sounds silly but I’m still struck by the palm trees, the blue sky and water, the breeze, and how Northern California it all is. Everything feels fresh with the constant Pacific and Bay winds. The sky is so blue that I don’t even need to do any color correction. It’s the vast skies of Western New York paired with the most temperate and livable climate I’ve yet to experience.
