An Eclipse Chasing Time-Lapse Journal
An annular solar eclipse swept across Australia on May 10, 2013. Together with 4 other fellow Malaysian astronomy hobbyists, we embarked on a road trip in Western Australia to chase the eclipse at it's best - a sunrise "ring of fire".
16 days, 4000km+ of road travel, the trip covered some of the most deserted and most beautiful places of Western Australia. Despite the unstable weather, we were blessed with an unforgettably jaw-dropping "ring of fire", mesmerisingly colourful moments when the sun dipped to the vast, flat Indian Ocean, and joyful nights when the milky way shined at its full glory far away from city lights.
This 5-minute-long video documents the entire trip in the form of time-lapse, including mostly my humble and amateurish attempts on day-to-night holy-grail transitions. Dolly movements and HDR techniques were used in certain footages. Few daytime footages were taken due to time constraints.
Special thanks to a Malaysian friend of mine for kindly lending his Canon 16-35 lens to me.
Overall the footages can't really do justice to the real scenes we saw, and some truly amazing photo-opporutunities were ruined by wet weather. Anyways one needs to be physically there to enjoy the best of a solar eclipse, and, this beautiful state of Australia.
Enjoy!

This video and related digital collages are part of a solo exhibition I am having at West Texas A & M University, Mary Moody Northen Hall Formal Gallery (January 16 - February 15, 2014 - Reception on January 16 from 6-8pm). All the final images in the show are here - flickr.com/photos/28987755@N08/sets/72157639240878505
Pastoral was originally created for a video installation for a show at Process Art House in Amarillo, Texas called "The Art of the New West". This show was a collaborative project by Process Art House and West Texas A & M University. Pastoral is not intended to be a story but rather a series of related symbolic images for the show. Images from this series are here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/28987755@N08/sets/72157636012954703/ .
Jon Revett and Amy Von Lintel describe the “Art of the New West” show as: “The ‘Art of the New West’ is the presentation of a traditional idea in a contemporary context. Western art has many meanings. In one sense, it describes European and American art as opposed to art from other global regions. But in the American context, the notions of western art also point to ideas of manifest destiny and the westward expansion of the United States. It describes the proverbial ‘Old West’ with its quintessential cowboys, Indians, and harsh landscapes. These ideas of the west and western-ness continue to press upon artists living and working in our area, as they explore themes of space and place, time and distance, borders and gateways, networks and resources, fantasies and failures. This show seeks to capture the west as both traditional and progressive, as both past and present.”
My play on the "The Art of the New West" theme was to use my miniature sets and characters to create my own pastoral landscapes of the west with a mystic twist. The cows presented a dual role as an icon of the “Old West” and as a feminine nurturing symbol of the earth itself. The images of astronomy charts came from a book of astronomy published in the 1850's. Accidental and intentional symbols abound in the combination of images and the play of opposites: light vs. dark, earth vs. the heavens, sun vs. moon, above vs. below, east vs. west, sunrise vs. sunset, etc. There are also references in many of the astronomy charts to directional movements of sunlight, stars, moons, and planets from west to east and east to west.
The layering of my miniature landscape sets and the astronomy images was done with blending modes and other effects in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. Shot with a Canon 60D and a Tokina 100mm macro f2.8

Dancing with the Stars
“From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

"What beauty. I saw clouds and their light shadows on the distant dear earth.... The water looked like darkish, slightly gleaming spots.... When I watched the horizon, I saw the abrupt, contrasting transition from the earth's light-colored surface to the absolutely black sky. I enjoyed the rich color spectrum of the earth. It is surrounded by a light blue aureole that gradually darkens, becoming turquiose, dark blue, violet, and finally coal black.

A change of heart - Fred Wilson's impact on museums
Fred Wilson presents his 1992 project Mining the Museum at the Maryland Historical Society and demonstrates how it changed the relationship between the staff and the community, the historical society and other local museums, the professional staff and the support staff, black and white. Wilson's collaborative process has been shown to contribute to a new museum ethics by shaping individual and institutional values and has helped move institutions towards greater diversity, equality and social engagement.
This presentation was part of The Sackler Conference for Arts Education - From the Margins to the Core? - An international conference exploring the shifting roles and increasing significance of diversity and equality in contemporary museum and heritage policy and practice held at The Sackler Centre, V&A;, 24 - 26 March 2010.
Talk about ‘Drivers for change’, I never learnt how to drive but as I say I’ve been driving and making change in my own way recklessly or not without learning how to drive but anyway, being here with you is just great because the thing about thinking about ‘the margins and the core’ being here with you I feel very much at the core. Some of you have come up to me and told me in one way or another that you know about my work which in some ways was a little surprising, even though it probably shouldn’t be.
This is the Maryland Historical Society in case you don’t recognise it, the museum where I did my first project. I was invited by the Contemporary to do that. They had seen my other work and they invited me in to pick any museum in Baltimore to do this project. In fact the curator Lisa Curran had thought of a large vision that maybe I could do this in all the museums in Baltimore. It was the first time working with the museum in this capacity and I said ‘Well maybe not, lets not try to do that.’ However I did interview all the museums with the director of the Contemporary and they didn’t realise they were being interviewed. I just went around speaking to people and the Historical Society which this is (refers to slide) turned out to be the most important sight for me for many reasons.
One of the reasons was that it had all the great works of art that the Metropolitan borrowed and all the other museums borrowed, but how they had them on display, it was obvious they hadn’t thought about that in a very long time, and I thought that this was raw material for the kind of thing I’m interested in. In addition when I walked into the space on my own not with the director or curator, just walked in and I met the person at the desk and how should I say?, he wasn’t the friendliest person in the world. And so my whole experience as I went through the museum on my own, I felt very uncomfortable in the space. I felt like I wanted to run out of there screaming in fact. So that was a really large reason why I decided to do the project there because I wanted to understand what my feelings were about. This was a museum and I’d been in museums all my life and so why did I feel so uncomfortable there?
I should just backtrack, this was my first project and it couldn’t have been better because the Contemporary, George Sissel and Lisa Curran, Lisa was the curator and George was the director, since they were a museum without walls they had worked with artists for a very long time doing projects all around Baltimore, usually in vacant buildings or other businesses where ever artists wanted to do things. So in order to this in Baltimore which is not a huge city but is a fair size city they had to get communities and business leaders and politicians in line to support the effort of this project. They had huge numbers of volunteers that they always bought together for these projects. So while they had never worked in an art institution they had many, many incredible mechanisms to make things happen in the city. And so when I came along and my site was a museum, they just used all their techniques and systems of doing projects for my project. And I have to say that since then I have developed relationships with communities and the museum on my own I really have to say that George Sissel and Lisa Curran were the people who taught me how to do this. Bought me out of my shell, from a hermetic artist doing my own things in my studio, so I could speak to, because they forced me to in the first instance, to speak to groups I thought I would have nothing in common with. And of course I realised that there was a lot of common ground. And I have to say that as Contemporary didn’t get as much visibility from this project as the Historical Society did because the project was sighted there and the Historic Society had a lot to loose with this project but the Contemporary really were the driving force, talking about drivers for change, they were the driving force behind this project who had been working with communities for a long time.
So with that said to do my project there I looked a
