「 Narstalgia」(中文暫譯：獨角鯨之殤) 是我在RCA的畢業作品，也是一個我長期執行的藝術研究項目。從2018至2020，耗時1年的時間進行前期研究，額外一年的時間進行故事編寫、拍攝、錄音、採訪，與3D建模、動畫、剪接、調色、混音等後期製作，其計畫內包含實驗聲音作品、錄像裝置、實驗劇情電影短片、實驗動畫電影短片、採訪紀錄片與攝影集等一系列藝術創作與文本。其作品與研究圍繞著近年在北極地區發生的幾個重大議題。

Narstalgia一字為我根據此研究而發明的新字，是北極特有生物：獨角鯨(Narwhal)與鄉愁(Nostalgia)的組合字，用來形容在以格陵蘭與冰島為首的北極地區發生的一連串環境焦慮(Eco-grief)、環境悲傷(Eco-giref)與環境鄉痛(Solastalgia)現象，其中又以「格陵蘭有全世界最高自殺率」、「冰島為史上第一個因全球暖化而消失的冰河舉辦喪禮」這兩個現象為主要研究對象。 由於獨角鯨在古挪威語具有與人類死亡相關的特別含義，又其與格陵蘭、冰島等北歐地區人們的狩獵與航行傳統息息相關，因此我以此動物為隱喻，透過3D動畫結合我親自前往冰島實際拍攝、錄製所得到影音素材，製作成為系列作品。

配合RCA2020畢業展，與此期間我共展出兩件作品，分別是獨角鯨之殤(Narstalgia)實驗動畫電影短片、藍色浮游-消融之島(Blue Ephemera- Melting Island)動態影像與實驗聲音創作，至英國時間7/31(週五)前限時以輸入密碼的方式觀看。

建議觀影環境設定： 黑暗安靜的空間、良好的螢幕與音響(耳機)設備

「Ｍy latest film and artwork released for limited view by 31th July」

‘Narstalgia’ is my graduation production for the degree show of Royal College of Art, UK, and also an long-term artistic research project related to several significant phenomena of eco-grief, and solastalgia happening in Greenland, Iceland, and other places in Arctic, which is also a new word I coined based on my research concerning the meaning of the name of narwhal in Old Norse. The multi-medium project including an experimental animation film, a experimental moving image, a sound creation, a photography series, and more; it predominately points out two issues in Arctic: Greenland has the highest suicide rate in the world, and Iceland holds a funeral for the first glacier lost to climate change.

Recommended viewing environment : a dark and silent room, with nice screen and speaker or earphone

[7 ways to acquire your first 1,000 users - pt.1]

Last time I wrote about a common early stage startup’s acquisition dilemma - “optimizing an acquisition channel v.s finding a new acquisition channel.” This time I'm going to dive into different ways of finding new acquisition channels.

Having one method work for your startup doesn’t mean you should disqualify the others, but it also doesn’t mean that every method will work for your startup either. It’s about testing and finding the right channel fit for your business.
Essentially every major consumer app acquired their early users using these methods, including Netflix, Instagram, Uber, Tinder, TikTok, and many more.

1. Find your users, offline
Once you identify who your target users could be, go find them in real life and get them to try your product! If they are not interested in what you have made, your product either doesn’t solve their problem or you have got the wrong target users.
To kickstart Uber’s growth in new cities, they often went to airports and downloaded the Uber app for taxi drivers and handed out coupons to riders. Tinder’s co-founder ran around college campuses handing out flyers and pitched to fraternities. Identifying your target user is important, if you know where they would conjugate, you want to be there too.
2. Find your users, online
Your target user could conjugate online too, and if they do, find them, and get them to them try your product! The same rule applies here, if the online users are not interested in what you have made, iterate on the product or the target users. Dropbox did exactly this, launching on Hacker News with only a video, even without a functional product.
You want to infiltrate your target user’s community, fit in, use their language, and even befriend them. The advantage in interacting with users online is that you have the option to remain anonymous, but the disadvantage is that gaining their trust could take a longer period of time, but this is exactly how Netflix launched their product across America, slowing turning pockets of online movie enthusiast and cinephiles into Netflix users.
3. Invite your friends to kickstart a positive network effect
To successfully launch a product through your own network you need to leverage referral programs. Products which works well with this method generates value for its users by acquiring more users, thus creating incentive for both the inviter and invitee. Reid Hoffman launched LinkedIn into his network of founders and entrepreneurs, marking the platform really attractive for job seekers, thus creating a positive network effect which attracts more employers, which then again attracts more employees.

Two takeaways that are fundamental in getting your first 1,000 users is to “do things that don’t scale” and to narrowly define your target users. By doing both, you validate your product's problem/solution fit and product/market fit.

I’ll cover the other 4 methods of acquiring your first 1,000 users in my next post, but in the meantime, if you got some value out of this post, please like and share!

💕「愛台灣，我的選擇」第11發: 藝術家Jason Cole Mager 創作「致台灣」系列畫作

「我在美國印第安納波利斯長大，並在當地的約翰赫倫藝術學院攻讀藝術學士學位，後來我拿到芝加哥藝術學院的獎學金，到波士頓的美術館學院就讀學士後學位，最後在紐約亨特學院完成我的藝術碩士學位。當時，我住在紐約布魯克林區的一個大閣樓，我在Airbnb上把房間出租給來自世界各國的旅客，進而認識了許多人，他們總是很熱情地告訴我，之後一定要去拜訪他們，他們會招待我！我也從中認識了一位來自台灣的旅客，在他的邀請下，我來到了台灣。」

「當我來到這裡時，一下子便愛上了台灣，最後甚至還拿了藝術家簽證來台。台灣經驗完全改變了我創作的方式，我開始對許多新圖像和符號產生興趣。研究所畢業之後，我一直想要就家族歷史進行創作，當時我看了很多二戰的老照片，我的家人曾經派駐亞太和歐洲戰場，當我來到台灣時，我才知道有些美國人在二戰時被關在台灣的戰俘營。」

「我住在金山南路的交叉路口，那裡有一個紀念碑，是為了追悼日治時期被槍決的14位美軍戰俘。我有很多作品是關於台灣被殖民的時期，我也深深著迷於台灣人使用印章和簽名的方法，對於台灣人來說可能覺得很枯燥乏味，但我很喜歡！後來我拋下畫筆，開始使用印章創作，我也刻了很多不同樣式的印章。舉例來說，我有一個作品是有關日本人要離開台灣，和美國在其中扮演的角色；也有一個作品是將鄭成功家族家徽和荷蘭東印度公司的標誌合併在一起。我讀了很多台灣的歷史，在17世紀時，紐約和台灣都有荷蘭人的足跡，這讓我格外覺得和台灣有更深的連結！」

“ I grew up in Indianapolis, that’s where I eventually went to art school. I did my BFA at Herron School of Art, which is part of Indiana University. I had a fellowship through the Art Institute in Chicago, then I did my post-baccalaureate work in Boston at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and a master’s at Hunter college in New York City. I lived in a large loft in Brooklyn. I rented out a room on Airbnb and I started meeting tons of travelers. People always said, “You should come visit me [in their home country] and stay with me!” Someone from Taiwan stayed with me, and I actually took them up on the offer. When I came here, I just fell in love with it. Eventually, I got an artist visa. Coming to Taiwan completely changed the way I paint. I started seeing all these new images, these symbols. After grad school, I wanted to make work that was about my family’s history. I was looking at all these old photos from World War II. My family served in the Pacific and European theater. When I came out here, I learned that Americans had actually been in prison in Taiwan during WW2. I live right around the corner from金山南路, where there’s a plaque for 14 soldiers that were shot against that wall during the Japanese occupation. A lot of my work is about Taiwan being occupied. I’m also really fascinated with Taiwan’s use of stamps, how people sign their names with stamps. For people here, they’re boring, but I loved them. I stopped using brush work and started to using stamps in my work, including carving my own stamps to create all these symbols. So for example, this work deals with Japan leaving Taiwan and the U.S. role in that transition. Over there is an image that incorporates 鄭成功’s family crest with the emblem of the Dutch East Trade Company. I read a good deal of Taiwanese history and I was really interested in the fact that the Dutch colonized New York during the 1600s, the same period that they came to Taiwan, so we shared that moment.”

This exhibition offers the public a fascinating insight into contemporary art’s most recent practices and processes such as a ‘Grand Design’ home evolved by a hoarder, an oozing conversation with the earth, a system of tunnels, angry letters about Gillingham’s Samurai sent to Medway council, a Dockyard worker’s fall down a well as sculpture, personal Facebook data becomes food, a dream-like exploration of the car industry, hand movements translated into Fibonacci sound, an autobiographical feature length film made on a mobile phone and a performance where the rules of tennis are applied to an exam.

The Degree Show’s aim is to encourage audiences to explore the potential of Medway as a dynamic hub for art, with the School of Music and Fine Art as a major conduit for these activities, positively impacting on the community and offering imaginative suggestions and visionary strategies for cultural regeneration.

News broke that Pistons star Allen Iverson has cut off his trademark braids.

Of course, the Internet has since been abuzz with discussion of Iverson's new look.

Shaq went as far as calling it "cute" (an odd choice of words if you ask me).

So why is the media covering this story, showing video clips of Iverson's new look? Why are there some 20 blog posts on the subject, even though it happened just yesterday?

I can't answer all these questions. But I can tell you why I'm writing this particular article.



The Questions that Led to "The Answer"

Growing up in Philadelphia, my favorite sports were hockey, basketball and baseball.

The Sixers were and will always be my favorite team. As I was growing up, guys like Dr. J and Moses Malone were my heroes.

Then came Sir Charles Barkley. I definitely recognized his greatness, but never did I idolize him like Malone and Erving.

Then, those lean years for the Sixers came. If you're a Sixers fan, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Shawn Bradley and Reese Witherspoon were our "stars".

Oh wait, I have Reese confused with someone...

I have to be honest, it was tough to stick with the team through that era.

I stopped watching. Management and owners seemed to care less about putting a winning team on the court and more about the bottom line.

It was a bad period from 1992 to 1996.

I actually stopped caring, and I hate to say it, but a lot of other Philadelphians did too. If you think I'm exaggerating, ponder this fact:

The Sixers couldn't even sell out the Spectrum at the time, nor could they unload season tickets.

Then that fateful day came: the day Allen Iverson was drafted by the 76ers.

He may have not have won an NBA championship for Philly during his tenure here, but he did something no other star or player since Dr. J had done.

He reinvigorated the fan base and recaptured the love for the Sixers. He got the entire city to care again.

By his second year, Iverson had the whole town talking. It soon became popular again proclaim your fandom. Even people from other cities were wearing Iverson jerseys.



Then the celebs starting coming to Sixers games: I remember seeing Will Smith at the game after Thanksgiving Day in 1997, against the Lakers. The place was packed with a sell-out crowd, and you could feel the electricity.

AI had even put a disenchanted fan like me back into the Sixers' fold. He had made basketball in Philly exciting again.



The Questions Came with "The Answer"

Yet somewhere along the line, as the years passed, the love affair between Philly and Allen ended. Like so many other times with countless other players, the fickle fans of Philadelphia chased yet another star out of their city.

The list of such victims is as long as you can imagine.

Eric Lindros, Randall Cunningham, Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, more Phillies than I care to remember...sadly, Iverson became just one more on that list.

But I still thank the man for bringing me back to Sixers basketball.

What made Iverson so special at the time was he was different, from the cornrows to the tattoos to the extra-long shorts. Iverson was always true to himself.

I'm sure the corporate types of the NBA were having nightmares, but the fact of the matter is fans from all over the world embraced Iverson.

I got so tired of hearing statements like "he's a hoodlum" based solely upon his appearance. I'll tell you as a Caucasian that Iverson having cornrows and tattoos didn't make me think he was a thug. I hated that the media thought they could speak for others.

I remember having a Iverson poster up on my wall in 1997, when I was in college. I remember my best friend coming over and, noticing the poster, sarcastically saying:

"What, is Iverson your homeboy?"

"No," I replied, "Iverson is 'The Man'."

I can't imagine the prejudice Iverson faced through his life or because of his color and image. But I know just how stupid and prejudiced some people acted towards me for being a fan of his.

What I respected the most about Iverson was that he was true to himself and was loyal to his family and friends, even when the media was tearing him apart for his loyalty. He was the real deal on and off the court.

Even when Iverson got in trouble with the police here in Philly (some story of him looking for his wife and pulling a gun on someone at a door), I stood by him and never wavered.

I saw the big picture: So many people wanted a piece of him, hangers-on and people thinking they could make a quick buck at his expense. And I hated that the media used his image agaisnt him every time something bad happened in his personal life.
