In her words:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  &#8220;My dream is to build a community of playing, making, and sharing. I do not know what to call this, but for the time being let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s say it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an experimental playground. Not quite a collective, gallery, or industry, but just a space to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fux wit it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Come and leave as you please. Make this your own space.&#8221; &#8211; Cindy Nguyen\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Personally, I am proud of Cindy &#8212; for having the courage, confidence, and the guts to build HAPTIC. To disregard bullshit &#8216;classifications&#8217; of art. To create <a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\">HAPTIC PRESS<\/a> as the anti-&#8216;ART&#8217; &#8212; a lower-case &#8216;a&#8217; in art &#8212; to make art for all, to make art for the people.<\/p>\n<p>To make art that encourages everyone to make art. A non-elitist place; rather, an open democratic playground of creating, sharing, and playing.<\/p>\n<h2>HAPTIC ARTISTS<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-239\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-239\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hapticpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shootwheart5-768x1024.jpg?resize=768%2C1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">heART by Annette Kim<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/cindy\">Cindy Nguyen<\/a><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/imsorry\">MIS-TAKES: A Eulogy to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153IMSORRY\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/train\">XE L\u00e1\u00bb\u00acA\/ TRAIN<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/eric\">Eric Kim<\/a><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"sub-menu\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/photocubism\">PHOTOCUBISM<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/walking-meditation\">walking meditation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/ha\">Chu Viet Ha<\/a><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/hanoi-streets\">\u00c4\u0090\u00c6\u00b0\u00e1\u00bb\u009dng Ph\u00e1\u00bb\u2018 H\u00c3\u00a0 N\u00e1\u00bb\u2122i \/ Hanoi Streets<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/annette\">Annette Kim<\/a><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"sub-menu\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/heart\">heART<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/vitruvian-camera\">Vitruvian Camera<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/hapticpress.com\/exhibition\">HAPTIC EXHIBITION<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Ephemeral glance<\/p>\n<p>Wind lingers on sweeping shore<\/p>\n<p>a coy morning dance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>EXHIBITION 1: TO CLASSIFY<\/h1>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-299\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hapticpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/knowledge_structure_1780.jpg?resize=600%2C899\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"899\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Genealogical distribution of the arts and sciences\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by Chr\u00c3\u00a9tien Frederic Guillaume Roth from Encyclop\u00c3\u00a9die (1780) by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Alembert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our inaugural exhibition plays with the fantasy of <em>classification<\/em>.<br \/>\nClassification as control, as order, as comfort.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"158\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/img_0144\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_0144.jpg?fit=620%2C413&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"620,413\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1251563334&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_0144\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_0144.jpg?fit=620%2C413&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-158\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hapticpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1-FINAL-ERIC-KIM-CUBIST-683x1024.jpg?resize=683%2C1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto-Cubism by Eric Kim<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">semi-abstract, low-poly, graphic design, not picasso, not cubism, matisse-esque, not photography, what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the point? why?
