My intention to working on such project as “I Don’t Know Nothing” was to try to figure out the relationship among nothingness, zero, and everything. As my research goes on, I found out that human has but fraction of whatever knowledge lies in the nothingness. One thing for sure, many religion fears the concept of zero, nothingness, or some call it the void.
The idea came from a quote that I read when I surfing the net. “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” – Socrates. The nothing interests me and made me think so this popup on my mind,” How can I show nothing on a video.” As Wikipedia describes, nothingness describes the absence of anything at all. So using this logic, nothingness is actual everything else other than anything. This became the foundation of my project.
It is because of the nature of the topic, there is no way for me to cover the whole subject in one project so I could a piece of it and went with it. I want to show something that can trigger the reaction of what is this? There is nothing there but in reality, a lot of thing is happening and that missing piece is the nothingness. I show nothingness by showing everything and then create that void for people to see nothingness. Sound is also presented in it, but it is something, yet it is nothing. It is there but it doesn’t represent anything, it doesn’t mean anything yet it does have meaning.
So here it is. My I Don’t Know Nothing.
