Hopping back on insta after being MIA - mandatory shades to hide the eye bags from a month of Q4 call on trauma surgery 🕶
.
.

Hands down the most fun and chaos I’ve ever experienced on a surgical rotation so far! I can’t believe how much I learned and all the great people I met. One week and one wedding later, I’m finally catching my breath…but not for long. Guess who’s headed to NYC this Friday?! 🍎
🚩 New Media Artist Hsin-Chien Huang Leads "Garden Taipei/Formosa: Taiwan Grand Tour" with 22 Taiwan's VR and New Media Artworks to 2021 Ars Electronica Linz in Austria🇦🇹
2021 ARS ELECTRONICA FESTIVAL Ars Electronica has chosen “A New Digital Deal” as its annual theme, centering around the social and cultural transformations under the influence of technology from different countries. Also, it pays attention to changes of “the New Normal” due to the pandemic.
Hsin-Chien Huang, this year’s curator of the “Garden Taipei/Formosa”, resonates the theme with the “Taiwan Grand Tour”, hoping to waken our desire and ability to move freely during the journey via different kinds of media, also make more people see the marvelous results and how hard Taiwan has devoted to technology, culture, tradition, and tradition via international digital platforms. The tour will have become a window between the world and Taiwan.
The scale of this year’s exhibitions has been brought up a notch. Not only did it carry on displaying the VR and AR productions from last year, but the curator Hsin-Chien Huang has collaborated with three other, Hsiao-Yue Tsao, Billy Chang, and Chung-Hsien Chen, to call out many VR directors, new media artists, start-up companies and government institutions to join the project. There are 22 magnificent programs in total, which will be shown in categories such as “Immersive Tour”, “Animated Tour”, “New Media Tour”, “Earth Tour” and “Action Tour” respectively.
“Immersive Tour”, as the first part of the “Taiwan Grand Tour”, viewers can wander among the mountains, oceans, and rivers in the digital world, even outer space! Six scenes inspired by unique Taiwanese landscapes with cultural and biological features will be shared with the audiences, such as “The Starry Sand Beach” (Directed by Hsin-Chien Huang and Nina Barbier), “Moondream Reality-Rebirth”(Directed by Chi-Yen Chiang, Ami Wu), the shuttle VR 360 stereo video of “TAIPOWER D/S ONE.” (Directed by Ghung-I Hung and Shih-Chou Wen), “Floating Childhoods” (Directed by Hakka Public Communication Foundation and Wen-Chieh Chang), “Blue Tears EP1” (Directed by Hsiao-Yue Tsao), and “Samsara” (Directed by Hsin-Chien Huang).
In the “Animated Tour”, viewers can devote themselves to the characters via different programs. Whether it is the abstract or figurative visual style, audiences can experience anxiety and frustration all the way to happiness and growth. Getting rid of this disappointing reality, viewers shall continue the “Taiwan Grand Tour” through their imagination. This program consists of four animations: "Go Go Giwas: Sowing Dream Seeds"(Directed by Vick Wang, Yi-Feng Kao), "My grandmother is an Egg"(Directed by Wu-Ching Chang),"Inside"(Directed by Yu-Ting Hsueh), and "The Wayward Kite"(Directed by Yu-Ting Hsueh).
In the “New Media Tour” program, nine brilliant pieces created by Taiwanese artists will be shared as the relay points for the “Taiwan Grand Tour.” They use video, sound, electronic music, installation, and various new media to explore different topics, such as family, memory, city, society, landscape, and environment. We firmly believe that digital tools can also capture the warmth and emotions in reality. This program consists of nine artworks: "Surrounding Spectrum"(Directed by Hsiu-Ming Wu), "Nanyang Express II : Eternal Wandering and Tropical Pursuing"(Directed by Yi-Chi Lin), "Wave Waves"(Directed by Sio-Pang Hong), "That ・ This"(Directed by Ching-Chuan Hu), "Signal"(Directed by Chin-Hsiang Hu), "Tower of Babel by the sea"(Directed by Wei-Chung Feng), "How to explain love to an iPhone"(Directed by Jie-Huai Yang), "U+617E_v2.∞"(Directed by Jia-Hua Zhan), and "Absence in Presence"(Directed by Ning Tsai).
In the program “Earth Tour”, viewers will participate in a performance art called “Taste Soil”, which intends to rethink the relationship between humans and land by means of “eating.” The program brings together international eminent chefs Andre Chiang, dancer Billy Chang, new media artist Hsin-Chien Huang and Wen-Chieh Chang, fusing Taiwan’s unique traditions and customs with cuisines and dance performances via VR experience. A feast to the eyes and tastebuds awaits.
Looking back at the present time, humans need to take more efficient scientific actions in the digital world to reduce the consumption and pressure of resources and the environment and cope with the impact in the post-pandemic times. Two important technology units in Taiwan make their debut in the “Action Tour”: Miniwiz Co., Ltd. and the Taipei Urban Intelligence Center. The former is devoted to the sustainable development of materials science with digital technology and design, while the latter is the integration of big data and streaming technology to create a new technical model of urban governance. Combing these two, an answer to developing a sustainable society with digital energy is born. During the tour, a new performance art project is inspired by the digital cross-field cooperation for the first time. The Taipei Urban Intelligence Center will join hands with new media artist Chin-Hsiang Hu and the founder of Inwheel Ghung-I Hung, to create a new media artwork “The Weight of Data” by integrating both virtual and physical materials from different domains and sharing data resources.
The brilliant curatorial concept and lineup of the Taiwan Grand Tour have attracted the interest of the officials of the festival and been in the limelight. Therefore, the festival has invited three creators behind the “Earth Tour”: Andre Chiang, Billy Chang, and Hsin-Chien Huang, to an online interview called “Highlight Channel” at 18:00 on September 1 (Taiwan Time). The link will be provided by the official later on.

"7289????" Daniel was shocked to see the drastic increase in the number of covid cases. He received the msg in one of his whatsapp groups.
"I don't know what the hell are these people doing until there are so many cases...🙄" he replied in the group.
Shortly after that,
"Ma, I'm going to my friends house for a while... I told him to give me all the pictures of the "secret gathering" we had yesterday, in a thumb drive.. Cannot upload on FB, they will catch, so I'm going to take it secretly.. 😁", he said while laughing.
Mother : "Ok boy, come back fast ok... I cooked your favourite mutton curry..
Too many Covid cases around... Dad and myself have not gone out for a long time because of this... Pls don't bring back any virus ok..."
Daniel laughed... "OK maa.. The way u are saying is as if I'm going to pack the virus and bring it back...🤣"
So Daniel went to James's house.
Lunch was ready, so James's mother invited him inside for lunch. James's mother know the covid cases are increasing, but she felt this boy doesn't have Covid because she knows this boy for such a long time. Daniel also know the Covid cases are increasing, but he felt this family won't have covid because they are like family to him too. Daniel loved all of them so much, especially the aunty. She always cooked for him.
So he went inside, took his mask off, asked them for a plastic to keep his mask so he can use it later when he is going back home, hugged everyone, everyone hugged him back, had his lunch together with the whole family, and had a great time catching up....
Then he went back home.
The next day, Daniel got a call from his Boss that one of his colleagues has been tested positive, so all of them have to do the swab. He hit his forehead and said "OK Boss, I will go and do."
Before doing the swab, he went to the supermarket. There he met another old friend, Ben after a long time. While talking, they both removed their masks because they are meeting after a long time.
Ben just got a baby after 10 years of waiting. Sincerely delighted with the news, Daniel gave Ben a big, tight hug before leaving.
"We will all come and visit the baby soon brother" he said...
Then he went for the Covid swab and went back home.
The next day, he received a call from the doctor that his swab results is positive.
He shouted back at the doctor "Cannot be laa doc!!! I don't have any symptoms... I wore mask everywhere I went what!!!"
Now - the most important part....
The Doctor tells him "Mr Daniel, now u have to give us a list of people that you had close contact with for the past few days, without leaving anyone out. They all need to do the swab."
So Daniel wrote the list down.
This time, he didn't laugh anymore.
His hand was trembling while writing, because they were all his loved ones.
In the list, were his parents & siblings who stayed with him, his friends that he met during the secret gathering, his girlfriend that he drove all around with, James, James's family, Ben...
"God, pls let this end with me... I hope I didn't pass it to anyone...How if anything happens to anyone of them because of me? God, none of them must be positive, please... " he prayed silently, wiping his tears.
So all their results came back the following day. His parents were positive, 4 of his friends that he met in the secret gathering was positive, James was positive, James's mother was positive, Ben was positive, Ben's precious baby was positive.
________________________
After 4 days, Daniel's mother was admitted to ICU.
During her last video call before intubation, she told him,
"Boy... Remember that I love you a lot... Take care of Dad... Dont feel bad that you brought the virus home... Either way also I am old already, that's why I can't cope... Remember its not your fault ok..."
She didn't make it in the end, and they couldn't even do the funeral.
While this was going on, he received a msg that James's mother needs to be admitted to ICU but all the ICUs are full at the moment, so she is still waiting in the normal ward, praying hard and hoping to get an ICU bed soon. According to James, the frontliners are going out of their way to help her with whatever they have, while waiting for the bed.
Daniel could only cry out loudly, but he can't undo what he has done. Now he finally understands how the number has increased.
Moral of the story :
With the increasing number of cases, every person you meet may either be a close contact, a contact's contact, or a POSITIVE COVID.
But you know what is the good news? You can avoid Daniel's situation if you stay at home.
#StaySafe

Lyrics♡
Now remember, Falling Falling is inevitable
Going Going I wanna start walking
Never ever stop, a big 1step
Future is mine
I remember you
Sorry
I didn’t hear that
Lonely, I want to forget just that day, big 1step
Future is mine
1.2.3 call, not answering my phone
4.5.6 move out from your room, change into a dress, redraw the rouge, pressing down my temples
Narrowing my eyes. Do you like pure girls wearing fur? Unfortunately, I don’t have it in me to balance the scales of Love & Money. After I lose and realize, I can’t do anything about it later.
Memories still stacked not erasable
I miss you but I can’t hate you. You are my special. Frustrated feelings
I’m in love, I still hear you
Now remember, falling falling is inevitable
Going Going I wanna start walking
Never ever stop, a big 1step
Future is mine
I remember you
Sorry
I didn’t hear that
Lonely, I want to forget just that day, big 1step
Future is mine
A sunny sky
Wobbly and
Soft determination, cloudy vision, dragging an umbrella that I don’t even use.
The heart flies away. Thoughts of that day, pretend to not know. Falling tears thinking that I might have forgotten something.
One after another, memories become glorified, I hear voice from the heavens saying, stop doing that.
A gulf that cannot be filled even if I pick up all the love and open doors. Sadness is transparent, I feel like I’ve lost my smile. I can’t go back to that place.
I’m sure someday, the memories of my feelings will melt, far and far away.
Soar high, I’m letting the wind carry my body and mind
Memories still stacked not erasable
I miss you but I can’t hate you. You are my special, frustrated feelings
I’m in love, I still hear you
Now remember, falling falling is inevitable
Going Going I wanna start walking
Never ever stop, a big 1step
Future is mine
I remember you
Sorry
I didn’t hear that
Lonely, I want to forget just that day, big 1step
Future is mine
