My experience with this class "Contemporary Art In Situ" was overall fantastic. Rafael and Alisha were amazing with their insights and support.

"If You Give a Girl a Camera" by Syd Lee was an interesting piece.

"Remembrance of You" by Adailia Lorson was another fantastic piece that caught my eye.

"American Born Chinese" by Syd Lee was another piece that I found interesting and also relatable.

"What, like it's hard?" by Syd Lee was an interesting one. It tackled the issues of labor in a unique fashion.

My overall experience with Biophilia can be described in one word: magical. The innovations that were presenting were amazing. I've never seen technology and art used like that before.

This work was just beautiful to look at. It used a very interesting color palette. The gold and the blue went together brilliantly.

First off, I love chairs. I mean, who doesn't love to sit and stare, right? And this one particularly caught my eye with just how gorgeous it looked.

This piece was so soothing. This one is a bunch of mechanical flowers attached to the roof, and they move. I found the experience very interesting not just because of the piece itself.

I was fascinated by this piece and its use of technology to create an engaging work. It displays flowers on a screen. Sounds simple if taken at face value.

I found this mural very interesting. It is very intricate, but it has another cool visual effect.

DAM and MCA celebrate contemporary art in different ways. I felt that DAM was more region based, whereas the MCA focused on themes.

This one is interesting. At surface level, it's just spray paint that is allowed to drip in all directions. But, it creates shapes that can be interpreted in different ways by different people.

This piece also caught my eye with its use of colors. I am usually fascinated by how the two ends of the color spectrum blend with each other, even when they are visually distinct.

This piece caught my eye with its colors and patterns, but reading the description only increased my intrigue.

Hal Foster's "Contemporary Extracts" gives us insights into various perspectives from various voices around the world. From Grant Kester's historical tension to Miwon Kwon's global perspective juggle, it's like seeing art through a kaleidoscope, each turn revealing a different facet.

This is one of the paintings from Steve Yazzie's "Meandered" collection. It is an oil painting on canvas that captures flora and fauna in an abstract manner.

"Comrades of Time" by Boris Groys gives us insight on what contemporary art represents. Contemporary art is like a snapshot of the world we live in right now. It's not just about creating something new, it's about reflecting the complexities, struggles, and triumphs of our time.

In Raqs Media Collective's "Now and Elsewhere", they talk about the challenge of understanding contemporary art and how it relates to time. They use the metaphor of waiting for a storm to explain how we confront the challenges of the present without losing ourselves to them.

I do believe art is necessary in this world. It conveys ideas that sometimes can't be communicated in conventional manners. Art encapsulates many things, including whole cultures and personalities, ideas fairly abstract that art is one of the primary way of understanding them.

Art on its own isn't frivolous, in my opinion. Art is frivolous only when it loses meaning.

Similarly, art can challenge power. An image or idol can be a symbol of power that can oppose a certain power. It can contain energies and symbolism that make people feel empowered or even feel discouraged, inhibited, or downright puny.

Art can express power. The power of art doesn't lie within what one sees but rather what one feels. A piece of art can have an aura that can be imposing, threatening, or even divine.

I do believe that art can make an argument, or rather a statement. Art can achieve this in different ways, using unconventional imagery or materials or descriptions. A picture can say a thousand words.

Hu Fang's "New Species of Spaces" explores the evolving relationship between reality, architecture, and art. He delves into the notion of spaces as not merely physical constructs but as entities that shape and are shaped by human experiences and perceptions. #ConArtInSitu
