"People develop typical way of looking at an object naturally. That is, they share some of the experiences and attitudes in their way of looking; people assume a TV to be a rectangle; they expect a certain shape when they imagine a chair or a table. Thus, they tend to be easily curious and amazed whenever they see something out of their expectations or stereotypes.
When one was a child, everybody has a similar memory of eating and sleeping while hiding in closet making the place only special to oneself. One day, with forgetting the past, I realized that we look at a closet for only the way it meant to be made. Maybe, we lost putting a meaning to an object although we posses under the name of growing.
This is the point that I am working on design. I want to build a better paradigm that encounter the new media from growing out of existing behavior and also provide the new by breaking the expectations or stereotypes. Inspiring memories of childhood and yearning objects will be key points bring out the sensibility within us. "-Jeongseob Kim
