In search of the meaning of ABSTRACT, Proceeding from “Modern”, Analogous arrangement is not purely enough for him to express. “Though I had heard the word ’modern’ before, I did not consciously know or feel the term ’abstract’ so now, at thirty-two, I wanted to paint and work in the abstract.”

In my aspect, abstract can happen in all level of cognition: we need three stages for sound to travel; two additional condition to meet for sound to exists in human being’s world ; more than 20 tissues for sound wave energy to pass on and finally across the magical transducer in our body to change it to nerve impulse -finally give us a stimulation for the brain to give it a response based on our personal experience and “knowing” to image the type of energy. There could be thousands of possibilities of abstract – waiting for us to explore.

In other word, Technology has crudely crunched down the analog world to digital world. Although people are busy working on describing all the in between world, digital world already give us the direction: the interpretation of what people can access the other world is the source of our inspiration. 1980’s alternative is only one tiny possibility that has been exploded.
