In an additional interview this "DJ of Happiness" calls it "Self dope". Which fits with the second quote from Alex’ blog:

“If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden.

He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator.” – W. Beran Wolfe

Happy Sunday everyone :)

Artist Bang-yao Liu writes about his effort:

This is my senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its.

And if you can’t get enough, here is the making of :

"3 months planning, 4 days shooting, 6K+ postit notes"
