This is the development process of the module and is part of the M-DAT course.
The project that I did was Pictorial Poem.
research interest: object: Attraction and repel , interactivity, remediation, digital contents The digital contents (text, images, sound) forms a generative, contrasting and opposite content but in relation with one another. - Image as the remediate source - ASCII text as the display visual output - Sound as the hearing output Share on Facebook

對立 - oppose - set sth against - be antagonistic to - antithetical - relative opposite - opposing - diametrical Poor and Rich => captalism => social issue Flickr image on rich: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=rich&w=all&s=int Flickr image on poor: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=poor&w=all From wikipedia on Yin Yang: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang) 陰陽是中國古代哲學的一對范疇。 阴阳的最初涵义是很朴素的，表示阳光的向背，向日为阳，背日为阴，后来引申为气候的寒暖，方位的上下、左右、内外，运动状态的躁动和宁静等。陰陽的最初涵義是很樸素的，表示陽光的向背，向日為陽，背日為陰，後來引申為氣候的寒暖，方位的上下、左右、內外，運動狀態的躁動和寧靜等。 中国古代的哲学家们进而体会到自然界中的一切现象都存在着相互对立而又相互作用的关系，就用阴阳这个概念来解释自然界两种对立和相互消长的物质势力，并认为阴阳的对立和消长是事物本身所固有的，进而认为阴阳的对立和消长是宇宙的基本规律。中國古代的哲學家們進而體會到自然界中的一切現像都存在著相互對立而又相互作用的關係，就用陰陽這個概念來解釋自然界兩種對立和相互消長的物質勢力，並認為陰陽的對立和消長是事物本身所固有的，進而認為陰陽的對立和消長是宇宙的基本規律。 阴阳学说认为，世界是物质性的整体，自然界的任何事物都包括着阴和阳相互对立的两个方面，而对立的双方又是相互统一的。陰陽學說認為，世界是物質性的整體，自然界的任何事物都包括著陰和陽相互對立的兩個方面，而對立的雙方又是相互統一的。 阴阳的对立统一运动，是自然界一切事物发生、发展、变化及消亡的根本原因。陰陽的對立統一運動，是自然界一切事物發生、發展、變化及消亡的根本原因。 正如《素问·阴阳应象大论》说”阴阳者，天地之道也，万物之纲纪，变化之父母，生杀之本始”。正如《素問·陰陽應像大論》說”陰陽者，天地之道也，萬物之綱紀，變化之父母，生殺之本始”。 所以说，阴阳的矛盾对立统一运动规律是自然界一切事物运动变化固有的规律，世界本身就是阴阳二气对立统一运动的结果。所以說，陰陽的矛盾對立統一運動規律是自然界一切事物運動變化固有的規律，世界本身就是陰陽二氣對立統一運動的結果。 阴阳五行学说，是中国古代朴素的唯物论和自发的辩证法思想，它认为世界是物质的，物质世界是在阴阳二气作用的推动下孳生、发展和变化；并认为木、火、土、金、水五种最基本的物质是构成世界不可缺少的元素。陰陽五行學說，是中國古代樸素的唯物論和自發的辯證法思想，它認為世界是物質的，物質世界是在陰陽二氣作用的推動下孳生、發展和變化；並認為木、火、土、金、水五種最基本的物質是構成世界不可缺少的元素。 这五种物质相互资生、相互制约，处于不断的运动变化之中。這五種物質相互資生、相互制約，處於不斷的運動變化之中。 这种学说对后来古代唯物主义哲学有着深远的影响，如古代的天文学、气象学、化学、算学、音乐和医学，都是在阴阳五行学说的协助下发展起来的。這種學說對後來古代唯物主義哲學有著深遠的影響，如古代的天文學、氣象學、化學、算學、音樂和醫學，都是在陰陽五行學說的協助下發展起來的。...
