Title: Astrophotography
Subtitle: Concept and Flows
Description: What is the concept in art? The materialism limitations of art renders art to the irreducible symbolism Kosuth put in his thesis with One and Three Chairs. The impossibilities of art and the unreachable cause of communication makes the personal public and the public personal. I approached the question with a cosmological consciousness -- a hypothesis I never dreamed of proving, yet proven from the beginning aimlessly and purposelessly.

In the book, I attempt to give an overview of how I approached photography from a developmental psychology, quantum-physic-photochemistry, and conceptual art perspective, from the traditional media of film, CCD, and CMOS, to a satellite-signal-device paradigmatic method. From the scattered works of mine, I hope a precursor to astrophotography can be paved in the message from an anthropological art history perspective.
