Imagine what it would be like to slide on a rainbow; perhaps red would give you the coziness of Santa’s belly; blue, the mindboggling excitement of venturing in a submarine; and purple, the scent of lavender that is mysterious and haunting. Movies can take you on this rainbow ride. You could be orange at one time and green at another. Be it love, fantasy, a walk in the woods, making a snowman, being a fighter in your favorite action movie, or all of them entangled together; you would not only find the deepest hue of your favorite genre, but also pull out movies of different colors from a pool of movie collections. Go on a rainbow ride in various ways; whichever method you choose, you will be on the ride.

Enjoying performance arts, or any form of art that is delicately put together and ready to be presented, can be thrilling and inspirational. Getting tickets and reserved seats add to enhancing the completeness of joy and satisfaction. Yet there could be times when you grow tired of the crowds and of the preparedness and flawless presentations of art. In such times of arid, perfunctory methods of experiencing arts, one might as well walk into a whole new world of serendipity by breaking free from the conventional frame of art. It could be taking some time to stare blankly at the clouds that have travelled to places unseen and unheard of, looking at the night sky where airplanes could transform into shooting stars, or listening to the buzz of mosquitoes full of awe and wonder - simply something that is impromptu.

On September 6, Et Aussi Project marked the start of the 2013 Fall Culture Festival. The very first performance of this year’s festival was Fragrance of the Sea performed by Celine Bacque, a dancer and one of the founding members of the Et Aussi Project. During the performance, Bacque shatters into pieces as the sea breaks into sparkles of water, and sinks to the bottom of the sea in unification. Bacque recreates the hesitant motions of the sea as she does a little cha-cha between the irregular rocks, and the mysterious background music that imitates the sound of nature creates a constrained connection of alchemy. Overall, the dancer acts out the storming sea, which represents memory, and her life in correspondence with it; she does not miss a beat. Fragrance of the Sea resembles our restless lives and suggests that we can remember someone, or something as a special feeling.

October is perhaps the jolly season of the year to grab some apples to satisfy one’s appetite. Chewing them up and savoring every bit of their sweet and sour flavors help one imagine what kind of life they are going through. There is another way of trying an apple; let the letters - a, p, p l, e - drop into your tranquil soul as you would gently let go of an apple into a calm pond. Gentle ripples would be created, making a stir in your stillness. Such ripples are subtle and almost comforting as the letters soak in very softly.

In a fly genetics lab, curious flies make their way out of a small plastic flask filled with a mushy culture medium only to realize that the flask is in an incubator, and the incubator in a room locked tightly. This has been the truth for laboratory flies way before their birth for generations. A very similarly picturesque analogy applies to us humans and the society we live in.

The recent painting of Geun-hye Park, a candidate of the 2012 Presidential Election, giving birth to her own father Chung-hee Park, Former President of Korea from 1963 to 1979, was offensive enough to put many Koreans into sheer shock. I was appalled by the painting myself, and incensed over the fact that the painting was actually put on display for people to see and contemplate on.

There are moments in life when the world you believed in feels unbearably strange; crimes occur at frequent rates and people walk by heartlessly without giving a glimpse at a road-killed pigeon. Though its warmth is still there, life no longer remains, and though it feels like the clock has stopped, people walk by busily as if there is something more important to them.
