A Deviant Recipe for Artists or How to boost your Creativity




I need to keep redoing this at all the time, Should I share it with you?:‼☺☻☺‼

SCAMPER Some Deviant Behaviors

☼ Substitute ♪
☼ Combine ♪♫
♪ Adapt ☼►◙♪♫
↕ Modify ► magnify ◄ minify☺
☻ Put to other uses ♥♣♦○
◘ Elaborate
¶ Rearrange ♀ reverse ◄ ªa ► rethink

PLUS

"Relearn again and forget, then go back to your child vision" Avoid part or all on this formula ► {POV²+POM+POB}:


Looking throughout single points of View or using one single Color of Glasses, one size telescopes, 1x microscopes, one sided spectroscopy, forgetting to use your natural X Ray vision and your CAT Scanner::meaning your imagination, instincts and guts

√ POV = Avoid Singular Persistence of Vision or partial ½╟╜ visions.
√ POV = Avoid Singular Point of View ► Fanaticism

POM = Persistence of Memory (ies) ► Live in the present using the past for the future

Avoid Persistence and obsessive behaviors of unkindness, cruelty, cynicism, ill-intentioned or nonsense moods. Look for meaning or provide the context in which meaningful things could be developed, either by you or with/by others.

Avoid envious feelings, it will drain you, drive you crazy and it will "dry" or "Fry" most of your dreams, aspirations and goals. Remain human and follow your inner nature, this nature should be positive and constructive , but otherwise then you know what you have to do with it...

Do not avoid to be alone, but by all means enjoy the company of your fellow artists, those who where behind you, those who are coexisting with you, and those who are becoming or will come after you. Live the tree tenses or times, Past, Present and Future and the many complex variations thereof.

Moreover, everything that you do or say onto others is a boomerang, it will come back to you, but for this do not avoid conflict, slavery is the rewards of those that do just this. If the prison were made out of gold, it is still a prison, artists hate prisons, oppression or injustice, because to be free you need to remain ethical and well balance (there are many flavors of what is balance or what it means, it could be harmony, think in here on your own music and how it sounds when you play it for others. It is for the most part a maturity and evolving process within each life cycle at every effort, project or piece of work that you do or want to do::Therefore, envision the circumstance, it might be bigger than your perception, and much bigger than your imagination, then enhance your existence by acknowledging more of it).

However, for most of the artists freedom is their main source of inspiration, if they were prisoned because their ideals or art, then they would be evenly freer than before. Artist will remain independent not matter what. Art is intrinsically motivated and extrinsically activated, but you draw and paint the mere buttons that ignite your own fantasies and/or imaginations or disgrace and/or lamentations.

In conclusion, give and share and you will receive ...the same, perhaps it might be more or might be less, don't worry about receiving, just share, provide, support, empathize, contemplate, absorb, produce, mutate, do, even if you can't, do a little more, then enjoy it or better continue with another piece, perhaps you will find out that it is you what you are building from the scratch of your most deeper and inner self.

Finally, I hope that it is Creativity what you are about to select for your life and in every case anyway be one more element why our society triumphs; as it is known by now already as the most innovative society in all generations:: the artists society.

As for my humble case I just keep remembering the aforementioned thoughts...

The Metasemantic Web - Part 1- The Mere Particles of Meaning: The Application of Morphogenesis into Project and Product Management


What I want to understand is up to what extent the most effective human collaboration could be obtained or increased by applying simple rules of behavior molded within virtual worlds under one predetermined goal or set of goals. Such as learning and its immediate application to action or for solving pervasive problems or mastering a subject or art.

The word should be Metabehavior, perhaps because I am interested on the behaviors that mold or determined other desire behaviors, all this includes seen people both, as part of the instrumentation for building metasemantic systems, and as recipients of it as well. Therefore it begins with the humans and loops back to them as well. In other words, the developers become users whereas some users could become developers too.

Only that the goal or the project could be extrinsically or spontaneously sponsored to group and systematized human minds, as connecting the dots, such as each dot is a mind that could decided whether or not to be grouped under certain endeavors. This is being done by perusing any collaborative systems of the Web 2.0 type and greater, such as those wikis for example, these are not other than a set of linked behaviors associated, organized and systematized by human intelligence or cultural bias [or mostly by a combination of both adding some emotional stupidity or nonsense] under one most often, or originally, altruistic and compelling reason.

It is like the "wikiconomization", or the "wikibalization" of the self, only that is not only the prefix wiki in all of the "flora" or phenomena, it is a matter of fact a wiki is just a rustic and small possibility of it, Youtube is another possibility for example as they are many of the sorts and They are others constantly appearing all over the cyberscape.

The fruits of such still-Human-Cognitive-Emotional-behavioral-semantic fields & the knowledge and information management systems are becoming to show [us] their wonders and now more and more this collaborative tools are often use by corporations as for individuals [for very different reason though], such are the Mash-ups and et al.,

What I believe is happening is that humans are in the process of creating the metasemantic web instead, the many consciousnesses of the entire human experience so far. Well, some people are trying to include one sided view of the schema, and here politics came into place, I will leave it as that at this point.

The Flat world 3.0 of Friedman can be greener as he wishes to be, but it involves communities made out of individuals, many individuals that are joined now by a simple set of rules throughout and whereby they can achieve their desired goals, and satisfy their needs for freedom, self-expression and self-concept, some individuals participate for constructive reasons and still others for destructive or for no other reason than their "magnetized" behavior towards something greater than them, just to belong to something, or to find the meaning for their empty lives by following a sympathetic determined swarmed website.

It is the interconnectivity of the Web and the software-as-a-Services [SaaS] that is causing these individuals to interact and create their avatars, their existential sense, as more products, services and fortunately some solutions are being found some of those virtual communities .... also they are serving as a way to share and challenge cultural differences.

These services are giving power to people for achieving something [apparently useful to them] and in this context these services are seemed like a memesis or as the mere particles of meaning, these SaaS are molding behaviors and could instantiate not only information but also surprisingly meaningful relationships... It seems that endless possibilities can be found out there...

In the mean time let us examine our lives too, perhaps we could find as Pygmalion or like Narcissus did, that ours is evenly more illusive than theirs ... all the way while we are thinking that we are doing "no evil". I will continue seeking and investigating... Too much to be learned over this regard

Now let's watch this video:




It will continue...

Should humans be a part of the future. The Humans & Machines or Only Machines

Wired Magazine published an article, "Why the Future Does Not Need Us" written by Bill Joy, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems and who supported the creation of the JAVA language and basically developed the BSD Unix flavor. Well I think that the British Professor Kevin Warwick, the "Cyborg" as it seems he would like to be known, has the answer for Joy's question, watch his video.

Peruano o Español o Inca

* Lo del Rey hay que darselo a él. Los que nacieron en la colonia eran españoles, salvo aquellos que se identificaron en no serlo, se puede argumentar, pero para qué. En el New York Times, lo ven así, y la mayoría en el mundo lo ve así.

::♀ Por ejemplo, una idea, Gonzalo Pizarro, nacido en España, podríamos decir que fue uno de los primeros peruanos, porque se revela contra la corona española y muere en lo que ahora es nuestro territorio. Los Incas, no eran peruanos eran incas, i.e., '''Quechuas, y Aymarás'''.

::♀ Ser del Cuzco es ser peruano pero también es serlo si eres de cualquier otro sitio y te identificas como tal. Los pre-Incas o las culturas llamadas Pre-colombinas, támpoco eran Incas, támpoco eran Peruanas, eran lo que eran, enclicopédicamente hablando.

::♀ Interpretar es vital, inclusive el Maestro José Carlos Mariátegui, parece que se equivocó, al tratar el "problema del indio". No hay indios en el Perú, Nunca los hubo, la equivocación es de Colón y historícamente y socialmente es importante. Por ejemplo, Por qué no le llamamos eskimos a los árabes, en fin.

::♀ Hay andinos en todo caso, gente originaria de aquellos pueblos que "adornan" lo que ahora proponemos como nuestra historia. Sin embargo, sí tenemos historia propia, gastronomía original, y parece que tenemos mucho de españoles, pero también mucho de los Incas y de los pre-Incas. He ahí nuestro ¡gran tesoro! El Dorado está en todas aquellas culturas Pre-peruanas, muy mal entendidas por propios y extraños, por muchos envidiadas y apedradas por otros tantos. Pero hay también especialistas que darían la vida por entenderlas y aprender más de ellas.

::♀ Muchachos, come me alegra que tengan ese incentivo por aprender y por sacar a la luz de esas sombras retrógradas las verdaderas fuentes de nuestra historia. Siendo realista hay que estar orgulloso de ser Peruano; ya uno sea del Cuzco o de los Barracones; e igual da ser de la Molina o de Miraflores, que del Rímac, de Ciudad y Campo.

::♀ La humanidad está en aprender a ser mejor cada día, de los que como acá en este mundo quieren y buscan conocimiento y por eso saben las limitaciones que esta búsqueda contrae.

::♀ Felicitaciones, el Perú luce mejor, pero como sabemos falta más ... como decia César Vallejo: "Ya va venir el día ponte el alma ..."

::♀ Bueno, del poco tiempo que tengo y que me queda, pues ya algo del resto lo compartí, lo comparto y lo compartiré con todos ustedes, Sinceramente.

PD. Por un si acaso, yo nada impongo, solamente expongo sean ustedes los peruanistas del futuro que hagan virtual y realmente una vida mejor.

    Una definición en la computación



    Esta definición se la di al hijo de un amigo, él cual cursa los primeros años de educación universitaria, en un programa de ingeniería de sistemas. Le gustó tanto que nos propusimos verla en Wikipedia, bueno la pusimos en la enciclopedia, y dice así:

    Una computadora (del latín computare -calcular-), también denominada como ordenador o computador, tiene como meta principal, la de recibir y procesar datos para convertirlos en información útil. Una computadora es una colección de circuitos integrados y otros componentes relacionados que puede ejecutar con exactitud, sorprendente rapidez, y de acuerdo a lo indicado por un usuario o automáticamente por otro programa, una múltiple variedad de secuencias o rutinas de instrucciones que son ordenadas, organizadas y sistematizadas en función a una amplia gama de aplicaciones prácticas y precisamente determinadas, proceso al cual se le ha denominado con el nombre de programación y al que lo realiza se le llama programador. La computadora u ordenador, además de la rutina o programa informático, necesita de datos específicos (a estos datos, en conjunto, se les conoce como "Input" en inglés) que deben ser suministrados, y que son requeridos al momento de la ejecución, para proporcionar el producto final del procesamiento de datos, que recibe el nombre de "output". La información puede ser entonces utilizada, reinterpretada, copiada, transferida, o retransmitida a otra(s) persona(s), computadora(s) o componente(s) electrónico(s) local o remotamente usando diferentes sistemas de telecomunicación, pudiendo ser grabada, salvada o almacenada en algún tipo de dispositivo o unidad de almacenamiento.

    Nubes Rocosas

    John M. Kennedy

    [1]
    ¡Acabo de recibir tal impacto!
    que hizo explotar mi corazón como un cristal
    en cientos de miles de millones de pedazos.

    Fue tal la gravedad de aquel dolor
    que estos mismos pedazos me descompusieron
    en miles de millones de trillones de partículas.

    Me sentí como la mera sustancia de la sustancia vivída,
    y es la hora en que se están escondiendo en mis memorias
    apareciéndose esparcidas por unas 140 billones de galaxias.

    Soy como la parte que no encaja en esta singularidad enferma
    No hay dimensiones cuando no hay sinceras emociones
    Cómo pudiera sentir ser nada dentro de lo que es menos que la nada.

    Porque ya fui destrozado y aniquilado a golpes
    desde mis abismos más ignotos e internos 
    pasé por ser cada uno de mis egos pero ya no sé quién soy

    Me perdí entre tantos y tontos misérrimos látidos.

    Al caído, le volvieron nuevamente a caer todos y con todo
    Se les unieron las desgracias, las ojeras, y las tormentas,
    Le dieron una lección brava a este barro sangriento y malherido,
     
    Hasta su propio amor le pegó una sentencia a capella
    Usaron el odio más intenso, las noticias más estúpidas 
    ¡Qué duro son los medios! para darme así al unísono,

    Hay más allá de cualquier rincón otro dolor que deberá de ser peor
    el mío ya se quedó estático en todo mi cuerpo y yace en mi mente
    Es como una nube y mis memorias la hacen parte de este presente.
     
    Soy la materia de esas nubes rocosas y dolorosas
    habito en la faja öpik-Oort con personas yertas, frías, y pesadas, 
    Soy todo ese material de nuestras vidas con un amor eterno.

    [2]
    ¡Disculpa, pero es así como se formaron los planetas! 
    y las estrellas y la nada… ¡y el todo!
    El todo y la nada se hicieron
    en una parte infinitesimal
    de un despampanante y alucinante tiempo
    del cual, todos creemos, se desprenden
    cada uno de esos eternos y galopantes segundos.


    Si, es así como a veces nos suceden los universos,
    …los planetas,
    …las supernovas…
    y porqué no, la energía negra
    y también hasta la mismísima antimateria.

    Disculpa, pero es así como se formó
    lo poco que sabemos
    … y lo mucho que ignoramos.

    Solamente emanan del dolor producido por aquellos inesperados contactos,de mentes agonizantes y concientes
    pero destrozadas por el olvido de un amor
    y el despecho de un instante.

    Soy tierra seca,
    y me encuentro girando casi muerto
    entre todos los planetas,
    cada partícula mía me desgarra
    desprendiéndome y esparciendo mi olvido,
    por todo este incierto universo
    Por lo poco que me queda ya
    de mi magra existencia.

    Desde este recobijo muy hondo que ofrecen
    mis pobres lamentos y tal vez, algún día tú,
    con esos tus ojos azules, me acompañarás
    Sabrás de qué se trata esta mi queja mal hervida
    la verás entre mis cenizas o entre la misma arena


    Desde mi calva calavera; o entre una luz azul y roja, 
    sentirás todo mi ya apagado fuego,
    con ese mismo negro carmín de olor a féretro
    con que mi dolor adorna hoy mis pensamientos
    Me reconocerás la voz tú,¿quién sabe? Amada mía
    Entenderás finalmente el lado humano exacto.

    Sí, bueno quizás, algún día me releerás, tú, mi eterna rosa
    y comprenderás entonces que el amor es causa de todas las cosas
    y cual fue la verdadera causa que por nuestra libertad me hizo escribirte esta prosa solamente para ti y en esta precisa hora.

    Memoria de la Amnesia

    I wrote this poem circa 2005, and now I have presented in a poetry competition to be held in Madrid. It is fun and you might want to consider doing it. The results will be announce by August 31st, I'll keep you posted. Well I put the poem in here so you can write your comments about it. In reference to the image is from an old painting of mine, I started painted it circa 1990 but I did not work on it again till 2005, time in which I gave up and left it the way it looks in here. I think it matches the poem; because while thinking in this painting and in the story about an English man with an extreme amnesia with whom I somehow I identified with, since I am very or extremely forgetful. Well, tell me what do you think by commenting below. In addition, a good way to learn to write in Spanish is to write poems, it is fun and fills your understanding of meaningful concepts that are the same no matter in what language you are expressing your emotions. Poetry is an universal language.

    ◙

    Soy feliz con mi tristeza.
    Soy humano en mi bestia.
    Soy mal entendido pero muy bien amado.

    Ando peleando con la paz fementida.
    Ando sin zapatos en zapatillas.
    Ando para atrás pero no le quito el negocio a los cangrejos.

    Vivo en la ciudad con lo mismo que en el desierto.
    Vivo con mi alma puesta, como en un refugio, para poder sentar mi pobre cabeza.
    Vivo medio muerto pero para no bajarme, he tirado la escalera.

    Mi alma auque descansa con esperanza, confieso que la tengo algo enferma.
    Mi alma tiene un espíritu tísico en la sinrazón que existe sobre casi toda existencia.
    Mi alma no conoce de musas pero la inspiración maltrata los dedos de su cuerpo.

    Cuerpo endeble siento que te mueves con mucha gravedad.
    Cuerpo eres un caballo en esa alma que no puede contigo, y te persigue.
    Cuerpo te escucho cantar, y quieres quedarte con vida, pero el espíritu manda, y se te va.

    Se perciben los momentos, y al instante que se forman, así se esfuman sus recuerdos.
    ¡Yo no entiendo! ¡Esto de ser nunca siendo, sin dejar ni un segundo de querer serlo!
    Vivir con uno mismo, y encontrarse cada día con todos los rostros nuevos. ¿Quiénes serán?
    ¿Son de alguna ciudad o de otro pueblo? Donde todos bien te conocen, pero tú, nunca a ellos.

    Yo sí no muero porque nunca termino de escribir una poesía a la ¡Memoria de la amnesia!
