Studio

A photo studio, a sound studio, and an art studio. Regardless of their type, studios maximize their potential by encouraging trials and errors, just like the science labs. The only distinction is that the creative studios focus on the qualitative and the subjective, while the science labs focuses on the quantitative analysis and the objective.

Experience is qualitative before it is quantitative because each experience is so unique, depending on each person, moment and location. An insight arises when we extract a lesson out of the experience by thoroughly reflecting on these contexts. Our life stagnates without growth, and growth is possible through gaining new insights. In order to achieve insights, we need a break from our bustling daily life, and that is where the creative art studios and galleries pick up a role. They function as separate space, just like a shrine in the midst of the secular world.

(Fine) art is any meditative actions with a non-utilitarian goal. It isn’t a coincidence that art schools are eager to the seemingly arbitrary doodles in the applicants’ sketchbooks when they are recruiting new students. The transient, non-functional things that we do during short pauses in life have a powerful potential to help us re-orient and lead a truly meaningful life.

Creative process is intrinsically healthy practice because it is the exercise of our subconscious. It lets us identify the feelings that we normally don’t notice in daily lives, which are often the source of frustration and desperation. Raising them above the surface of our cognitive perception is crucial for self-awareness, which will make us realize our mandate and set up our goal.

Studio Insight aims to explore the power of creative process in life beyond art.
It also attempts to prove the power of the subjective in the objective world, the power of non-utilitarian activities in the utilitarian reality, and the power of self-awareness in the de-personalizing modern society.
