12 Children Per Second

An art project collaborated with 720 second-graders and third-graders from Dunhua Elementary School in Taipei. The "Line Art" for video is accomplished before executing the project, and later each frame of the video is printed out and given to 720 students to tint. Each picture is drawn by different students which make the color of each frame to represent the perception of color and uniqueness of each kid. A one-minute video art is a composition of 720 children's drawing.

「12 Children Per Second」的創作計畫是由帝門藝術教育基金會協助，與台北市敦化國小720位小二至小三的小學生一起完成的集體創作，同時透過合作的過程，讓小朋友從中了解動畫的原理­與特性。我在計畫開始前，將動畫的「線稿」部份製作好，以一秒12張影格的速率製作，再將每一張影格列印輸出，交給小學生進行著色，最後把每一張著好色的圖掃描後匯入電腦­，串成動態影像，使影片每一個張影格的顏色，都是個別小孩的想像、色彩觀與獨特性；或說是用時間將12位小朋友的獨特性壓縮在一秒鐘內，一分鐘的動畫是由720位小朋友的­畫作組成。

I watched your video, entertaining.... Listen, everything we do... We believe in challenging the status quo... We believe in thinking differently.

The way we challenge the status quo... is by producing a product beautifully designed , very simple to use and user friendly.

We just happen to have the best way to travel and vacation in the world. Care to see it?
