Got sick after a 3 days 2 nights busy wild camp in a very cold campsite with a group of teenagers.
See my first super starry night in HK during the camp, really amazing, can see the 北斗星，北斗七星，獵戶座...etc. Also first time to set up the tent, camp fire, night walk...etc.

When i got sick, i can strongly feel that some of my 5 senses become weaker.
ie. smell, taste.

what will happen if people don't know they have sense?
just like if they always being sick, but they don't realize they got sickness.
suddenly one day, when the sickness get cure, they can feel their senses again.
However, this idea smell like a bit overlap with "Matrix" :P

but sickness maybe a good direction, related to senses and also not many existing topic in comic.

Short talk with Mariko on 26/11/2010

I want to suggest ppl using their other senses in the process of "reading" a comic. (eg senses like sound/touch/smell/taste...) i think this idea may inspired by the 3D & 4D movie experience when i was in cinema.

my first suggesting approach is to print/draw some pages of the comic in another material eg plastic sheet/ lantern paper to create sound when people flip the page.

other is to spray some smell into the panel (maybe full of flower) 

third is placing the panel into different place to obtain the sound...

"Comic is normally an everyday element. As a book not especially expensive and it is a mass product.
If we take your idea it rather sounds like a unique item or an artists book."
"Even though you are making an artist book, the main problem is what's your story? what u r going to tell?"
"u may try turning it into the direction of wii or nintendo ds" (ask somebody who can work the program part with you) 


"Maybe you can make a 2D room installation and let the people create their own story there"
"eg. using the idea of silent butler > silent friends & family"
"where to put the comic?"


"I know it's always hard to start :) "
