Crato. God of creativity. Main deity of the pantheon of the gods of the Lego. He is elusive and capricious, he appears and disappears for periods according to his will. Wake up fans at night or distract them when they walk down the street. He loves that builders do new things or old things in new ways.

 

The gods of the Lego (or maybe it's "the gods of the Legos"?... never mind) have existed since the beginning of time when everything was black or dark bluish gray but they have not had work until the middle of the 20th century. Now they help and inspire thousands of fans in their task of building with small pieces of plastic.

 

The gods of the Lego:

Crato. God of creativity

Plao. God of planning

Lovellia. Goddess of beauty

Storos. God of storage and order

Joyo. Goddess of the play

Loso. Demon of the lost pieces

Roko. Demon of the broken builds

Crato. Los dioses del LEGO.

 

Crato. Dios de la creatividad. Deidad principal del panteón de los dioses del Lego. Es esquivo y caprichoso, aparece y desaparece por periodos según su voluntad. Despierta a los aficionados por las noches o les distrae cuando andan por la calle. Le encanta que los constructores hagan cosas nuevas o cosas viejas de formas nuevas.

 

Los dioses del Lego (o tal vez sea "los dioses de los legos"... bueno, da igual) existen desde el principio de los tiempos cuando todo era negro o gris oscuro pero no han tenido trabajo hasta mediados del siglo XX. Ahora ayudan e inspiran a miles de aficionados en su tarea de construir con las pequeñas piezas de plástico.

 

Los dioses del Lego:

Crato. Dios de la creatividad

Plao. Dios de la planificación

Lovellia. Diosa de la belleza

Storos. Dios del almacenamiento y el orden

Joyo. Diosa del juego

Loso. Demonio de las piezas perdidas

Roko. Demonio de las construcciones rotas

. . Le chaos n'est pas un état informe, ou un mélange confus et inerte, mais plutôt le lieu d'un devenir plastique et dynamique. (...) La philosophie, la science et l'art "tirent des plans sur le chaos, ce sont les trois chaoïdes. La philosophie sur son plan d'immanence d'idées et de concepts, la science sur son plan de consistance de variables et de fonctifs, et l'art sur son plan de composition d'affects et de percepts.". (...)

 

. . The chaos is not a shapeless state, or a confused and inert mixing, but rather the place of a plastic and dynamic becoming. (...) Philosophy, science and art are "drawing plans" on the chaos, they are the three chaoïds. Philosophy on its plane of immanence of ideas and concepts, science on its plane of consistency of variables and functives, and art on its plane of composition of affects and percepts." (...)

Rencontres d'Arles

The Rencontres d’Arles (formerly called Rencontres internationales de la photographie d’Arles) is an annual summer photography festival founded in 1970 by the Arles photographer Lucien Clergue, the writer Michel Tournier and the historian Jean-Maurice Rouquette.

 

The Rencontres d’Arles has an international impact by showing material that has never been seen by the public before. In 2015, the festival welcomed 93,000 visitors.

 

The specially designed exhibitions, often organised in collaboration with French and foreign museums and institutions, take place in various historic sites. Some venues, such as 12th-century chapels or 19th-century industrial buildings, are open to the public throughout the festival.

 

The Rencontres d’Arles has revealed many photographers, confirming its significance as a springboard for photography and contemporary creativity.

 

In recent years the Rencontres d’Arles has invited many guest curators and entrusted some of its programming to such figures as Martin Parr in 2004, Raymond Depardon in 2006 and the Arles-born fashion designer Christian Lacroix.

The festival

A photography exhibition, Rencontres d'Arles, 2010

Events

 

Opening week at the Rencontres d’Arles features photography-focused events (projections at night, exhibition tours, panel discussions, symposia, parties, book signings, etc.) in the town’s historic venues, some of which are only open to the public during the festival. Memorable events in recent years include Europe Night (2008), an overview of European photography; Christian Lacroix’s fashion show for the festival’s closing (2008); and Patti Smith’s concert for the Vu agency’s 20th anniversary (2006).

Nights at the Roman Theatre

 

At night, work by a photographer or a photography expert is projected in the town’s open-air Roman theatre accompanied by concerts and performances. Each event is a one-off creation. In 2009, 8,500 people attended evenings at the Roman theatre, an average of 2,000 a night, and 2,500 were there on closing night, when the Tiger Lilies played during a projection of Nan Goldin’s “The Ballad of Sexual Dependency”. In 2013 over 6,000 people attended the nighttime photography projections, an average of approximately 1,000 each night.

The Night of the Year

 

The Night of the Year, which was created in 2006, allows visitors to walk around and see the festival’s favourite works by artists and photographers as well as carte blanche exhibitions by institutions.

Cosmos-Arles Books

 

Cosmos-Arles Books is a Rencontres d’Arles satellite event dedicated to new publishing practices.

 

Over the past 15 years large-scale photographic publications, self-published books, and ebooks have become essential media for experimentation by photographers and artists. They allow photography to be rediscovered as a means of expression and distribution, providing a rich terrain of expression for the art’s fundamentally hybrid forms.

Symposia and panel discussions

 

Photographers and professionals participating in symposia and panel discussions during opening week discuss their work or issues raised by the images on display. In recent years the themes included whether a black-and-white aesthetic is still conceivable in photography (2013); the impact of social networks on creativity and information (2011); breaking with past, a key idea for photography today (2009); photography commissions: freedom or constraint (2008); challenges and changes in the photography market (2007).

The Rencontres d’Arles awards

 

Since 2002 the Rencontres d’Arles awards have been an opportunity to discover new talents. In 2007 the number of annual awards was reduced to three, presented at the closing ceremony of the festival’s professional week: the Discovery Award (€25,000), Author’s Book Award (€8,000) and History Book Award (€8,000).

Luma Rencontres Dummy Book Award

 

In 2015 the Rencontres d’Arles offered an award to assist with the publication of a dummy book. Endowed with a €25,000 budget production budget, this new prize is open to all photographers and artists using photography who submit a dummy book that has never been published.

 

The winner’s book will be produced in autumn 2015 and be presented at the 2016 Rencontres d’Arles.

Photo Folio Review & Gallery

 

Since 2006 aspiring photographers have been able to submit their portfolios to international photography experts in various fields, including publishers, exhibition curators, heads of institutions, agency directors, gallery owners, collectors, critics and photo editors, for appraisal during the festival’s opening week. Photo Folio Review & Gallery offers them an opportunity to show their work throughout the festival.

Photography classes

 

The Rencontres d’Arles has always been a place where professional photographers and practitioners on every level have been able to meet each other and exchange ideas. Each year, photography class participants undertake a personal journey of creation through photography’s aesthetic, ethical and technological issues. Leading photographers such as Guy le Querrec, Antoine d’Agata, Martin Parr, René Burri and Joan Fontcuberta regularly teach at the Rencontres d’Arles.

Rentrée en Images

 

“Rentrée en Images” has been a key part of the festival’s educational activities since 2004. During the first two weeks in September, special mediators take students from the primary to graduate school level on guided tours of the exhibitions. Based on the festival’s programming, the event aims to introduce young people to the visual arts and fits in with a wider policy of cultural democratisation. “Rentrée en Images” reaches thousands of students, and for many of them it is their first exposure to contemporary art.

Budget

 

Public funding accounted for 40% of the 2015 festival’s €6.3-million budget, sales (mainly of tickets and derivative products), 40% and private partnerships, 20%[clarification needed][citation needed].

"...God has put creativity in all of us. He is certainly creative and believes in variety. Think of all the varieties of birds, flowers, trees, grass, etc., He has created. People come in never-ending variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, with different personalities."

My 50mm is one of the best lenses i've ever used, and it always forces me to think differently and creatively due to its versatility.

 

It doesn't matter where your biases lean. (left, right, democrat, republican) Learning to think across the spectrum gives you a greater sense of understanding and more options for creativity. :D

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while." - Steeve Jobs

 

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves." - Carl Gustav Yung

 

The picture on a stand that I've used in this composition is Chinese hand-made silk embroidery. Have you ever seen such a beautiful painting on a piece of silk satin? Just imagine embroidering such a delicate fugure with the threads and needles! But such an exquisite embroidery has been one of China's most famous art forms for many centuries. The first response people normally have when they see Chinese silk embroidered pictures (embroidery picture, needle painting or thread painting as some people would call) is that they don't believe they are hand embroidered.

Chinese embroidery paintings are well known for its rich colors comparable to an oil painting and realism comparable to photography.

To create a high quality piece, an artist needs to split a single silk thread into several thinner threads and embroider layer after layer with threads of a variety of colors to reach the final wonderful effect. One top quality silk embroidery work usually uses millions of silk threads of hundreds of different colors, taking more than one year to complete.

When gableknits posted her photo of her sampler I KNEW I had to make one too- if only to make a point to the family. This was a true labour of love. I used varigated red thread I had had for years but ran out half way down the lettering, couldn't find any more in my part of New Zealand ( and of course I didnt have the thread number anymore) so I had to unpick and redo the letters in charcoal. Still love it though!

 

Now off to do gableknits next phrase!

The city overflows with creativity. Forged by traditions and customs, the city of Oaxaca is also defined by its inventive capacity, reflected in its streets, in art, and in its gastronomy. Knowing its challenges and challenges, Oaxacans have become dynamic thinkers, creators and actors of projects that bring unity and resilience to the city.

Creativity is intelligence having fun!

Its extremely rare you get to see this birds actual namesake "Red Bellied Woodpecker." Apparently "red headed" was already taken. My mother puts out oranges and grape jelly for our summer time visitors from Costa Rica like the orioles and rose breasted grosbeaks. Of course it doesn't stop our year round residents from getting a sugar high. This particular woodpecker would come in and dance circles around that branch its hanging from and finally decide its best approach as you can see (please zoom in and you can see it can only reach with its tongue). The smaller birds have no problem but this bird is too big and has learned it flips the tray up and thus can't land on it. This is proof of the creativity and intelligence of even the smaller to medium sized back yard birds we have all around us.

The Uruguayan artist Fede Ruiz Santesteban has been rediscovering and reinventing one of the most unusual and most delicately poetic of photographic craft forms: the Anthotype. His images are made using the naturally occurring properties of plants in his garden. There are none of the chemicals or inks commonly associated with photography. His methods simply harness the way certain leaves and petals react in sunlight. While he began with a process invented in the early 1840s, he has since undertaken extensive experimentation, developing new ways in which plants may be used to create images in an ecologically sustainable way.

 

Fede Ruiz Santesteban unfolds the gifts of the garden at Talking Pictures.

Chronicles of Lifting Light

 

There is a certain daring “edge” in acting out a role-playing game on a partner(s) in public, especially if (in our case) one favors Jewel thievery Games.

  

It’s a certain adrenaline thrill, both addictive and desirable, that increases up until the “mark” is relived of one or more of her dangling valuables.

Whether its carried out with a simple bump, a lift conveyed while, say dancing, or a squeeze play maneuvered with a second player, with the intention of pickpocketing the jewels they wear, or more subtle games of trickery or simple robbery, it all creates and holds a level of excitement most thrilling in its nature, quite erotic within its scope.

 

These Chronicles contain short essays on pickpocketing and thievery games played solely within our group over the past few years.

 

These were games only, done with full knowledge and consent of all the players (with a couple of exceptions where the parties involved were not informed of the actual happenings until sometime after the fact.)

 

Any articles of jewelry lifted or “Stolen” were returned to their original owners, albeit sometimes those owners at first thought the jewelry being returned had just simply fallen away.

 

The actual facts have been stretched, padded, and enhanced, due primarily to the significant detail that I rather like those in my immediate circle, and in order to keep them liking me, have agreed to “put meat on the bone” so to speak when putting pen to paper.

 

These Chronicles far from complete, and additional stories will be added as they are played out.

Entropy ≥ Memory ● Creativity ²

___________________________________(ç)

 

L'individu suffoque sous la saturation du monde parce qu'il a le sentiment que ses subordinations outrepassent son autonomie, sa puissance d'être-en-soi au sein de la multitude, son conatus dirait Spinoza, l'élan de son individuation psychique dirait Simondon, sa liberté diraient ces libéraux qui la catéchisent en la confisquant à ceux qu'ils asservissent pour persévérer dans la leur.

 

Qu'en est-il de la puissance d'être-en-soi de la multitude, de ce conatus composé de multiples conatus ? Elle est la puissance de l'individuation collective qui réunit les conditions de possibilité des émancipations individuelles, autant que les conditions de possibilité de leurs apprivoisements, domestications, assujettissements, servitudes et asphyxies.

 

C'est ainsi que la multitude s'étouffe dans ses propres supports de mémoire collective, ses rétentions tertiaires désirées ou fortuites, ses hypomnemata. Grâce à eux, pendant tout le 20e siècle, les individus s'émancipèrent par plus de temps libre, de mobilité, de culture, par plus d'autonomie qu'ils n'eurent à le payer de soumission aux normes morales, marchandes, ou écologiques.

 

Mais ces indispensables hypomnemata, externalités anaboliques et cataboliques comprises, sont à la fois opportuns et importuns, sains et délétères, indissociablement. Ce sont des pharmaka, c'est à dire des remèdes autant que des poisons, des délivrances autant que des addictions, et des boucs émissaires dès que les équilibres homéostasiques se rompent.

 

Comment s'emparer de ces pharmaka pour prendre soin de nous autant que de la multitude ? Comment mener ce projet comme une thérapeutique ? A ce jeu, à somme non-nulle, seront créatifs ceux qui libèreront les capacités d'excédences individuelles au sein de projets collaboratifs, c'est à dire ceux qui relâcheront les servitudes sans déraciner les rhizomes sociaux.

 

Du fond de la globale saturation capitaliste, cette créativité ne doit plus être une sublimation bourgeoise mimétique, mais une émancipation co-errante cathartique. Cette créativité doit investir les résonances consensuelles de la multitude pour en infléchir les modes de production, que de nouveaux hypomnemata, objets, formes et figures, adviennent hors les dépotoires des surproductions mercantiles.

 

A cette fin, il s'agit moins de “faire de nos vies une oeuvre d'art” que “de faire de nos vies un flot d'événements”. Faire événement c'est dé(ré)inventer, dé(re)choisir, dé(re)construire, dé(re)territorialiser, dé(re)créoliser les singularités et les excentricités distribuables et résonnantes, pour que la multitude en algorYthme les récursions et en laisse émerger de nouvelles lignes de fuite.

 

Individué par jef safi, récursant les hypomnemata du multiple : Héraclite, Démocrite, Zhuangzi, Platon, Aristote, Spinoza, Bergson, Simondon, Debord, Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault, Castoriadis, Conway, Negri, Stiegler, Žižek, Badiou, Maffesoli, . . et de tant d'autres.

  

___________________________________(sh)

 

The individual suffocates under the saturation of the world because he feels that his subordinations overstep his autonomy, his power to be-in-himself among the multitude, his conatus Spinoza would say, the surge of his psychic individuation Simondon would say, his freedom liberals would catechize, confiscating it to those they enslave to persevere in theirs.

 

What about the multitude's power of being-in-itself, of this conatus composed of multiple conatus ? It is the power of the collective individuation which brings together the conditions of possibility of individual individuations, as the conditions of possibility for their tamings, domestications, subjugations and asphyxiations.

 

Thus, the multitude smothers itself in its own collective memory supports, its tertiary retentions desired or unintended, its hypomnemata. Thanks to them, throughout the 20th century, people were emancipated by more leisure time, mobility, culture, by more autonomy which they had to pay it with submission to moral, commercial or ecological norms.

 

But these vital hypomnemata, including anabolic and catabolic externalities, are both opportune and unwelcome, healthy and harmful, indissociably. These are pharmaka, i.e. remedies as much as poisons, releases as much as addictions, and scapegoats as soon as the homeostatic balances break.

 

How to seize these pharmaka to take care of us as much as of the multitude ? How to conduct this project as therapeutics ? In this game, a non-zero-sum one, those who will be creative will be those who liberate the capacities of individual exceedences within collaborative projects, i.e. those who will loosen the servitudes without uprooting the social rhizomes.

 

From the bottom of the global capitalist saturation, this creativity should no longer aim bourgeois mimetic sublimations, but co-erring cathartic emancipations. This creativity must invest the consensual resonances of the multitude to change the modes of production, so that new hypomnemata, objects, shapes and figures, can befall outside the mercantile overproduction dumps.

 

To this end, it is less to "make our lives a work of art" than to "make our lives a thread of events". Let us de(re)invent, de(re)choose, de(re)construct, de(re)territorialize distributable singularities and eccentricities, so that the multitude can algorYthm their recursions allowing the emergence of new vanishing lines.

 

Individuated by jef safi, recursing hypomnemata of the multiple : Heraclitus, Democritus, Zhuangzi, Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, Bergson, Simondon, Debord, Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault, Castoriadis, Conway, Negri, Stiegler, Žižek, Badiou, Maffesoli, . . and so many others.

El individuo se ahoga en la saturación del mundo porque siente que sus subordinaciones sobrepasan su autonomía, su poder para ser-en-sí-mismo entre la multitud, su conatus, que diría Spinoza, el manantial de su individuación psíquica, que diría Simondon, su libertad, que catequizarían los liberales, confiscándosela a aquellos a los que esclavizan para perseverar en la suya.

 

¿Qué hay del poder de ser-en-sí-misma de la multitud, de este conatus compuesto de múltiples conatus? Es el poder de la individuación colectiva lo que reúne las condiciones de posibilidad de individuaciones individuales, así como las condiciones de posibilidad para sus domas, domesticaciones, subyugaciones y asfixias.

 

Así, la multitud se sofoca en sus propios soportes de memoria colectiva, sus retenciones terciarias deseadas o inintencionadas, sus hypomnemata. Gracias a ellos, a lo largo del siglo XX, las personas se vieron emancipadas a través de un mayor tiempo de ocio, movilidad, cultura, más autonomía que tuvieron que pagar con la sumisión a normas morales, comerciales o ecológicas.

 

Pero estos hypomnemata vitales, incluynedo externalidades anabólicas y catabólicas, son a la vez oportunas y no bienvenidas, saludables y nocivas, indisociablemente. Son pharmaka, esto es, remedios a la vez que venenos, liberaciones a la vez que adicciones, y chivos expiatorios en cuanto los equilibrios homeostáticos se rompen.

 

¿Cómo apoderarse de estos pharmaka para cuidar de nosotros mismos a la vez que de la multitud? ¿Cómo conducir este proyecto como una terapéutica? En este juego, de suma no-nula, serán creativos los que liberen las capacidades de las excedencias individuales dentro de proyectos colaborativos, es decir, aquellos que aflojen las servitudes sin desenraizar los rizomas sociales.

 

Desde el fondo de la saturación capitalista global, esta creatividad no debería ya tener como objetivo las sublimaciones miméticas burguesas, sino las emancipaciones catárticas co-errantes. Esta creatividad debe invertir las resonancias consensuales de la multitud para cambiar los modelos de producción, de modo que nuevos hypomnemata, objetos, formas y figuras puedan surgir fuera de los vertederos de la superproducción mercantil.

 

Para este fin, no se trata tanto de “hacer de nuestras vidas una obra de arte” como de “hacer de nuestras vidas un hilo de eventos”. Des(re)inventemos, des(re)escojamos, des(re)construyamos, des(re)territorialicemos singularidades y excentricidades distribuibles, de modo que la multitud pueda algorYtmar sus recursiones permitiendo la emergencia de nuevas "líneas de fuga".

 

Individuado por jef safi, recurriendo hypomnemata de múltiples: Heráclito, Demócrito, Zhuangzi, Platón, Aristóteles, Spinoza, Bergson, Simondon, Debord, Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault, Castoriadis, Conway, Negri, Stiegler, Žižek, Badiou, Maffesoli, . . y muchos otros.

"Erotically Sparking and Steamy"

 

Early marriage was borne of ancient societies' need to secure a safe environment in which to breed, handle the granting of property rights, and protect bloodlines. Ancient Hebrew law required a man to become the husband of a deceased brother's widow.

 

But even in these early times, marriage was much about love and desire as it was social and economic stability. In its roundness, the engagement ring, a custom dating back to the Ancient Rome, is believed to represent eternity and everlasting union. It was once believed a vein or nerve ran directly from the 'ring' finger of the left hand to the heart.

 

Many other modern day marriage traditions have their origins in these ancient times. Newly-weds are said to have aided fertility by drinking a brew made from honey during certain lunar phases and it is this tradition from which we derive the origins of the word 'honeymoon'.

 

ONE WIFE OR TWO?

Understanding of marriage contrasted greatly from culture to culture. Some cultures viewed the institution as endogamous (men were required to marry within their own social group, family, clan, or tribe), exogamous (marrying outside the geographical region or social group) or polygamous (allowing men to take more than one bride).

 

Polygamy was formally banned towards the end of the Roman Empire with laws against adultery, fornication and other relationships outside a monogamous lifelong covenant. The seeds of modern marriage were sowed here and they extended into the modern Western world.

Someone got creative and put a Daffodil in this group of Rhododendron flowers. It looks great even in the rain.

A tornado of creativity hit my craftroom in the last few weeks! I will be re-organizing and cleaning it this week :o)

(Another Don Draper slide, this quote is from a recent episode.)

 

I laughed out loud when I heard this one and it's so true. Creativity can be encouraged, sure, but it can be very difficult to force. Sometimes you just have to fuck around until creativity strikes.

Anyway, film night, and I went to see Thérese Desqueyroux, a period drama set in provincial France in the 1920s. The heroine, if we can call her that, seems destined to a dull, if wealthy, existence, partly because of the limits of her country set, but mostly because of her thrawn nature which represses her discontent rather than expresses it. Audrey Tautou plays the lead with such cold aloofness and with hardly a flash of her winning smile that it's difficult to sympathise with her character, or the family that surrounds her. Looks great but ultimately quite dull 3/5

Corpus Christi 2007 - Sitges, Barcelona (Spain).
