Big data; mind processing
With all the new technologies—starting from electricity to advanced encoding techniques—we now have access to vast amounts of information. However, this information does not yet constitute knowledge (which is tested experience that can be repeated and valued for human or natural growth) nor feeling (a pathway to knowledge and meaningful experience, such as through art). To achieve these, all…

Generated content / A Reflection on Quality in design / Perspectives
Overflow of ai generated junk everywhere today reminding me of what happened with typefaces when computers first arrived. You might remember that unprepared Arial and Comic Sans everywhere. But still, good quality typography is always in demand. It’s just not so crowded. Those who value quality keep going for it, while those content with cheap…

Operators of the mind
First track of newly released 1300p 6 – I played this melody with my fingers on a korg a few months ago… For me it’s a hypnotic tune. It’s not an arpeggio or a speed-up tune. I remember being surprised by how quickly my fingers moved. However, it wasn’t easy to find a matching bassline…

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It is difficult to say that it is just ugly or that this work is frankly bad (if a person made it from the heart, not to order or for the sake of money or fame). It would be more precise to say “I don’t quite understand it”, “it’s not to my current taste”, “it’s…

The act of creative realization and the essence of the art product
Not so much the one who generated it, but the one who found, probed, filtered, shaped it…. and of course, felt, made and brought to life. People are gravitating towards the human thing. The result is always a product, a product in the meaning of something that is the output of formalized activity that has…

Creator’s purposes in ages of generative ai
In the age of ai and generative tech, creating stylistic craft art has become meaningless – meaning – that is, meaningfulness, the necessity of the common purpose. Art as development, as play, is one thing: teaching, therapeutic… The other is the art of the genuine, cognitive plan, when as a researcher of feelings and spectra…

The two sides
In general, all forms of creative art can be divided into two categories: dark and light, i.e., warm and cool, serious deep and lucid – affirming and joyful.In short, there are two extremes of feeling and emotion, and two extremes of up or down.Black and white.Minor-major.With shades and combinations varying from one to the other.But…

Balancing aesthetic: the base prevails
Aesthetically, even if one likes the colorful (for example, in clothes), it is normal and acceptable, and sometimes it might even be good, but one must remember to balance it with the “base” – the garnish – “rice”, “bread”, that is – the simple. Aesthetically, but also ideologically. Balancing it with simplicity. Black, white, gray,…

Amplification of the new
I’ve recently made a small invention for myself, a method to improve the originality of melodies. When I create music or melodies I just play notes on the music keyboard to find perfection, it’s not about drawing on paper like in the past. I record them, look for the right combination and then edit. So…
