I read some articles about time and there is a scientific basis.
In fact, there is not much scientific reason for counting sheep. On the contrary, this move may make people more excited.]]> 2021-10-31 21:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1857244342 Reading paper about counting sheep Xingwei https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1857249537 2021-10-31 21:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1857249537 Sketch Xingwei https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1857251213 2021-10-31 22:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1857251213 Artist research Xingwei https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1857251894 2021-10-31 22:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1857251894 View Sleepless Night (Sitting) (2007) By Nara Yoshitomo Xingwei https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1878570093 In the world of sleepless night dolls, happiness is a very superficial thing.
Their special dangling eyes have an inexplicable gravitational force, which is weird but extremely involving people.
The way the Nara doll looks to the outside world is true and not hypocritical.

But its main purpose is not to express insomnia. The evil and simple coexisting dolls actually exchange adult roles, showing the instability surrounding the modern adult world of children.]]> 2021-11-09 15:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1878570093 Cashback-movie Xingwei https://padlet.com/Xingwei/jrtu94or5vd737m0/wish/1879367191 Plot summary: An art school student suffered from insomnia after breaking up with his girlfriend. There are 8 more hours of daily life. To pass the time, he went to a supermarket for the night shift.
Then he imagined that he had the ability to stop time, and he could walk freely in the stopped time.
Later, he fell in love with his colleague. After a period of insomnia healed, he had some misunderstandings with his female colleague, and he started to suffer from insomnia again.

My thinking：Because the time of insomnia lost its meaning in front of him, he drifted between imagination and reality. The insomnia is relieved after receiving the response to the female colleague’s likes, which is like an antidote and the action of melatonin. But it is a period of improvement. When there is something on my mind again, insomnia will start again.

In a person's life, there are often several tragic wars deep in the heart. Either because of emotional trauma or the departure of relatives, or even the disillusionment of ideals or even a disease.

In the eyes of outsiders, you in the "war" are no different from normal times. You can only be more silent when you go to and from get off work. The occasional smile will be a little strange, but everyone in the crowd has their own concerns. These clues are rare. Understand, so this "war" is doomed to be tasted by you alone.

No matter what kind of inner war, it is always no match for the opponent of time. When the smoke slowly recedes and one person cleans the battlefield silently, the tragic scene often shocks oneself.

The large-scale structure echoes one's endless stream of thoughts when they are robbed of a good night's rest and come face to face with too much time to themselves.

If the machine is operated by people for 24 hours, it is a state of insomnia.

the artist worked with a group of technologists to create a painting machine which processes a live feed of data streamed from cameras at busy city intersections and, via robotic arms and algorithmic instructions, applies paint to canvas. The resulting paintings are composed of multi-layered marks whose density and positioning speaks volumes about the relationship between physical and digital environments and about how algorithms process and replicate images.

In my primary research, i paint several sketches about my theme insomnia, and I interviewed my friend why they have insomnia. Though these thinkings, i had some new ideas about my theme, so I started to read some paper and articles. I hoped that theories and research of other can give me a further understanding of other sciences or various aspects of insomnia. As for me, secondly research is really useful to my opinion. It is because that I have some inherent impressions of some things, such as counting sheep to help sleep, but through research I will find that this is unfounded. So there are many things that are not what I think. You can't imagine it out of thin air, you still have to have a theoretical basis.

There are some shortcomings. The main focus of this topic is related to my emotions. However, I currently do relatively little on the visual expression of my emotions. In the coming time, I will increase this.

I can't describe very well how I spread from one picture to another. I still need to do more work on this point.
