Typhojanchi 2015, 4th International Typography Biennale at the Old Seoul Station, Part 2


 : This exhibition gave me some impression and ideas on typography... and got to have a new idea... a view on it. 

 

 What I don't like about this event is the name itself. It's English, not Korean.... We have our own words for that... It's not the only one... It's widespread... It may be because it's international...event, but in these international events, we have to stick to the Korean more.

 Viewing exhibition


 In that space there were so many works... displayed... They were kinds of installation arts. Some artists might be famous, but they are all strange to me. Yes, I am not interested in this matter.







What is this? Under the construction?




Typographies...


What is this?


Newpapers


Bus with letters..signs..



This is the keyword to type on the web site.





 : Some keywords are repetitive...

 Restored objects...


 It's actually a separate exhibition from the Typography. It seems that it'd been there since old station had not been used as a station anymore... There are traces of the old Seoul Station.

 : At the old Seoul Station, the Biennale display is going on. Now it's used for other purpose. 


 Old buildings have their own meaning, especially if they have memory from many people. Yes, the Seoul Station it is... In that sense, there are so many local visits in Korea such as Gamcheondong Culture Village.

 Anyway, Korea gradually becomes a place for visiting....

 2015 Typojanchi

 4th International Typography Biennale


 At first, I didn't know there was an exhibition at the Old Seoul Station. I came to know that it had been used for many exhibitions. And that day, luckily, an International Exhibition going on...



Culture Station Seoul 284 Floor Plan


If you enter, you are going to meet tablets and guides.


After selecting options there and go to a guide




And then they will give you a badge and a printed paper




The number is the ID and instructions



 : I don't know what's the meaning of the badge. There were about 4 different kinds of badges there. 

 If you go to the site, you are going to see pages to ask you to input keywords you meet while seeing... If you follow step by step, you are going to know how you think of city...



Displayed works





A projector and devices for the works.




 : They are made by international artists around the world. The arts is about how you feel and what the artist intend...

 Watching works...


 Arts to me.... I've never felt moved by an art before... And this time also I didn't feel any.


 Typography, to me it's just a font. A kind of writing style for computer. Nowadays it's very close to our life.


Works

















 :  Yes, the old building was filled with art works. The fonts and colors... I could see how much the typo are deep into our life... I guess it's the reason of this exhibition.

 : According to the specifications, it has what tab should have.... 


 Appearance..


Each part




 : There are so many expansion slots inclusing HDMI...USIM and so on..


With keyboard docking station







 : It just look like a notebook when it's connected to keyboard. Nevertheless, I can't do everything which I can do with a notebook computer. Yes, this is Android Pad. But at least I could feel like using a notebook computer.

 Performance and software


 This tablet also has some special ASUS features... like other tablets. But the software updates stopped...unfortunately... after the version 4.0.1




Benchmark results of Antutu


 

: According to the results, the performance is similar with Galaxy S2. I valued the Tegra CPU high. I expected more performance than this.... but...


 You would know if you use this one directly, but it's not for high performance gaming.  





I connected a USB flash disk to this device


It recognize it as USBdisk2


You can see the Drives....



I tested copy and paste


Wow, the copying was so fast.


These are the features which ASUS pad has...



Basic information



As you see external HDD is recognized.




 : In summary, the shortcoming is the performance it self. If a software demands a little high performance, it stirred. The outcomings are the expansion. I can use it as tablet also a notebook. And the longer battery life is very good. 


 This device is recommended for Internet Video Lesson or movie watching....listening to music....

 : I came to know that this machine doesn't have much performance after buying this one. It was hard to play the high resolution video with this machine. NVIDIA's tegra CPU is integrated on this machine. And it's almost impossible to enjoy high performance game. Yes, I bought this one not for playing a game, but for watching videos... Yes, even now I am using this one very well.

 Check the cause


 As explained on the previous posting, the structure of the adapter is different. Other AC adapter cannot be used for this machine. And also the plug type is not usable in Korea as you see below pictures.


The plug - It's not usable in Korea



And then I had to re-adjust like the picture




Originally, it's the replacable plug.



 : And then I tried recharging. After a few minutes, the adapter got hot and not charged more. And when moving connecting part of the wire, it charged and not charged... repeated it. Yes, from this behavior, I suspected it might have a problem on the cable itself.... And I found two wires were disconnected.



As you see it on the following pictures...


: As you see there are 5 more wires than the ordinary re-charger.


You can see the wire disconnected




If wanted to fix this by myself but I didn't have any soldering device. Even if I had one, I wasn't confident in fixing it successfully. And I decided to buy a new one.


Cautions: In this case, if you force it to connect, the adapter might be overheated and stop working. And then it's not possible to use it. To fix this, you have to put the adapter in a refrigerator for about 2 hours after packing it in a plastic box. And then you put it out from the refrigerator. You can use it again.

 Purchasing a cable and working properly


 Nowadays, 11st.co.kr sells products cheaper than gmarket.co.kr. I compared the price... As you see on the following pictures, the price on 11st is slightly cheaper than gmarket. This one is to buy the product from abroad. Therefore it took about 1 week to get it on my hand.




Gmarket



It says, it takes aboiut 7 to 15 days for delivery



On 11st



It says it take about 10 to 20 days for delivery



 As you see on the following pictures, the price is cheaper on 11st. And I decided to buy that. 


 Finally, I paid 35,000 won(35 USD) for this product.



Product delivered


 : I've waited long... Now I can use it. It works fine. No heat problem.


 

Working fine





 : How can I say.... did I make some money? On used market, it sells about 70,000 won... I can say that I saved about 40,000 won.... And does this product worth it?
