Exhibition

Today is Merdeka day! In another word, its Malaysia Independence day. No, I am not going to blog about Malaysia, its so risky to do that now judging on what happen the day before Merdeka. Someone got arrested due to what he wrote about Malaysia in his point of view.

So in this post, I'm going to blog about my event! My last post was all about the preparation of the exhibition, where else this blog is about the exhibition day!

I know its super boring, so move along people who arent interested in reading xD.

During the exhibition, our lecturer invited most of the industry people to check out our booth and works in school. Most of the industrial people would just take a glance and walks off when they saw mine ( i know my isnt the best work yet but seriously you should show some appreciation right?) after that they will just walk around the exhibition looking ONLY at the best artworks or animation.

I dont blame them from walking away from mine, but do keep those nasty comments to yourself after you seen our works. I know critique do us good, but you're here to hire us and see our work but not to critique us in such a rude manner.



Alas i hate being standing at my booth due to the super direct wind from the aircond, i stood with my classmate Lindani, (she is a receptionist) and all I have to do is just sit and smile towards the guest.

My job as the receptionist, its so easy. All i need to do is to entertain the guest, by bringing them food and the drinks, which is free. By all means one of our classmate (I doubt he reads blog so Ima put his name anyway) Ehsan, he just kept eating the food there and drinks the yucky diluted water. All he do is just eats, drink, sit on the sofa, eats, smokes, drinks, and eats. I barely see him at his own booth promoting his work. I guess thats why our food went missing so quickly.



Some of our lecturer is kind enough to contact their friends to come over to our exhibition to give a small speech about the outside world, and how our work supposed to display and how to sell ourselves ( it sounds wrong i know xD) In this case, I specially miss our beloved lecturer Aizati. She is the first ever lecturer to bring us on a field trip to visit artist around the world (by attending KL design week) I never regret till this day. How she expose us towards the industry people by inviting them to our presentation. Despite the nervousness and scared of the industrial people, I go through it and its an experience. So I guess some other lecturer learn from Miss Aizati and bring in some guest. Like this one.



Also every lecturer that ever taught us, LOVES our decoration and wanted one of these. They are homemade. I meant, made by ourselves as in papers, cardboard and wood with a little wirings xD



Well that's it for now!

Explosive Event

I know, been super long since my last entry. I've been busy.

First off, the Graduation Exhibition. (I am so sorry towards all my friends because I promise them a video of it but the other half of the video is still with Sam so I cant really edit it) We have to prepare like hundreds of small cubes along with big cubes for the lighting.



All the preparation for the Exhibition started right after our finals. Where the coloring of the cubes, wrapping up the glow in the dark cubes and more. The leaders who work the hardest actually is the one who suggest and confirm everything. Like in a company, i am just a small fly that no one will bother until our department GM tell us what to do. Unless I am keen to do something, i just straight away ask my Big Boss which is the president. Often I do that because my department leader don't tell me shit about what's happening usually.

The exhibition took us 48 hours or more to set up. The location is supposed to be out of the university but some political matters, it was pushed back and located IN our uni right beside the Apple store above the plaza of our uni. The place is extremely small which means we need to share the computers between two users. The decoration and arrangement of chairs and tables were to arrange and re arrange due to the small area.



Finally covering the entire room with darkness... LOL joking. But we literally wrap the wall, window and tables with black cloths. That's our theme anyway, supposedly to be something to do with forest (our creative leader have a soft spots towards environment and going green) but it changed into pixelfly. Simple as, all the finals project are in digital format. Pixel as in digital, fly as in we're all graduates, we're soaring like fireflies in the dark, we're the light! ok I know i over exaggerated xD that's because i love my classmates :P


This is before everything is set up



After all the dark cloth and decorations.




After hours and hours of preparing the place, its simply exhausting, but I am satisfied. This is our end product of our exhibition.
