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

This build was calling for some heavy editing so I made several attempts until I was pleased with the result.
Please enjoy!
"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.

Featuring a 38,082 pieces LEGO Artwork! Set atop a wooden board made out of LEGO tiles, as well as stationaries and tabletop decorations to emphasize the creative aspect of the artwork. The abtract design in the center does not imply a distinct message, but designed to invoke the flow of thoughts, ideas, concepts, and imaginations that run through our minds everyday!
Notes: The work done here is not desgined to be a actual LEGO structure, but more of an art form. Though there are no illegal building techniques going on here, not every part is actually attached to another brick. Some plates are just placed down and balanced because of certain limitations, but mostly for the sake of design.
ps: Everything you see in the image is made purely out of LEGO element. Enjoy. (It also made it as a runner up :D)
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.

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.

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.

Study of the day:
Plus abstraite est la vérité que tu veux enseigner,
plus tu dois en sa faveur séduire les sens.
More the truth you want to teach is abstract,
more you have to seduce the senses for it.
( Friedrich Nietzsche - Par-delà le Bien et le Mal )

L'activité paranoïa-critique est une force organisatrice productrice de hasard objectif.
The paranoiac-criticist activity is a force organizer and producer of objective chance.

Un lion poursuit un cheval. Il n’y a pas de temps abstrait, il n’y a pas d’espace abstrait, ..., il y a quelque chose d’imprévisible. Est-ce que le lion va avoir le cheval ? Si le lion a le cheval, c’est avec des bonds de lion. Et si le cheval s'échappe, c’est avec son galop de cheval.
Que nous dit Bergson ?
Que ce sont des mouvements qualitativement différents. Ce sont deux durées différentes. L’une peut interrompre l’autre, l’une peut s’emparer de l’autre ; elles ne se composent pas ... avec une quantité abstraite déplaçable dans un temps homogène. Tous les mouvements se divisent ... mais ils ne se divisent pas suivant une unité commune homogène et abstraite.
A lion pursues a horse. There is no abstract Time, there is no abstract Space ... there is only something unpredictable. Does the lion will get the horse ? If the lion has the horse, it is with his lion bonds. And if the horse escapes, it is with his horse gallopings.
What Bergson tells us?
That these are qualitatively different movements. These are two different durations. One can interrupt the other, one can steal the other, but they do not consist ... in an abstract shift in a uniform time. All movements can be divided ... but they do not follow a common uniform abstract duration.
( Gilles Deleuze - Université Paris 8, cours du 10/11/1981 )

I spent an afternoon at my mom’s the other day and browsed through her large stock of buttons, ribbons and old lace. A gold mine for a craft enthusiast! This is part of what I came home with. :-)
Blogged here:
An attempt to show the most fundamental things that God created: Substance, joy, beauty, relationship, wisdom, holiness, all played out in time/eternity. I have blogged about this here.
Thanks for looking!
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.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something. And earlier when I saw my daughters beads it hit me :) and I had the hunch.
I wish you could buy creativity in a glass, or well maybe not buy it (then it wouldnt be a gift anymore), just when it comes that you could bottle it up and use it later.
I find myself with images going through my head all the time, but do i have the time to go create those pictures then? of course not :) So thats why occasionally you can find me running through the house like a crazy person, and everybody knows..mommy's got a hunch :)
