Art et innovation (épisode 3 / 7) Après avoir créé des problèmes et désordonner, il s'agit maintenant d'explorer la délinéarisation des projets. On a trop souvent tendance à faire du management linéaire alors que les processus de l'art et du design exploratoire sont tout sauf linéaires! Ce troisième épisode présente un 3ème point cardinal imaginaire. AlphaKnowledge: Christopher Donohue: A sweet lesson on patience. This post falls outside of my normal business oriented content. Yet this is a lovely story that should be shared, which falls within my core philosophies: be kind, be loyal, be helpful and contribute. There is so much niceness in the world, but it goes unreported usually. A sweet lesson on patience. Anish Kapoor And Arata Isozaki Partner On An Inflatable Mobile Concert Hall For Japan So far, 2011 hasn’t been Japan’s year. Between the wreckage caused by the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit the island nation this March, not to mention the subsequent nuclear reactor meltdown in Fukushima, they’ve had more than their fair share of tragedies to contend with. While relief aid organizations and charitable individuals have been sending food, water, and other essentials to help the country deal with the disasters, the folks behind the Lucerne Festival and Kajimoto have initiated a project that will feed the population’s soul in this time of crisis. Commissioning architect Arata Isozaki and sculptor Anish Kapoor, the two talents are collaborating on an inflatable concert hall venue to be completed by Spring 2012. The mobile performance structure, titled ARK NOVA – A Tribute to Higashi Nihon, will be transported and utilized to stage music and dance performances for victims of the natural disasters.
Las nuevas reglas de la creatividad Estoy obsesionado con la creatividad, con el proceso que tiene lugar en la mente de cara a obtener ideas innovadoras, y sobretodo con la forma de potenciarlo para que se engrane en otros procesos innovadores como por ejemplo el tecnológico (tecnocreatividad). Por eso me ha encantado este artículo de Wired: The new rules of Creativity. En él se describen nueve reglas para potenciar la creatividad, sin duda alguna uno de los diferenciales que buscamos en compañeros de equipo o de cara a nuevas incorporaciones laborales. Antes de meternos en faena vamos a recorrer un poco el universo que rodea la creatividad.
Une vidéo explicite sur la guerre des brevets Avec les brevets, il est possible de s’approprier une idée vague et assez intangible, et ainsi tenter d’empêcher la concurrence de copier nos idées. Si ce système a été mis en place pour protéger à juste titre les inventions nécessitant de lourds investissements, ces brevets sont parfois utilisés par des entreprises dont le seul but est de posséder ou de racheter des brevets afin de traîner devant la justice ses concurrents pour réclamer de lourds dommages et intérêts, et aussi pour tenter de freiner l’innovation. Voici une vidéo (en anglais) exprimant bien les problèmes posés aujourd’hui par les guerres de brevets :
AlphaKnowledge : The joy of innocence and complete... The Tire Art of Wim Delvoye For his series titled "Pneu", Belgian artist Wim Delvoye created a series of decorative objects by hand-carving intricate patterns and floral motifs on used car tires. Through his manipulation of found objects, Delvoye transforms things that seem useful in everyday life into sculptural pieces that carry a different value from their original intended purpose. Delvoye calls his own approach to art ‘glocal’, referring to ‘local’ and ‘global’, which is his own ironical way of describing art. TecnoCreatividad, the next generation El viernes pasado impartí un taller en Valencia sobre la TecnoCreatividad, un término muy nuevo que está comenzando a sonar. La verdad es que fue muy curioso porque la invitación para darlo vino a través de The College of Everything, una escuela tecnocreativa (que viene del mundo creativo), y yo dirijo Digital Noise, una agencia tecnocreativa (que viene del mundo tecnológico) centrada en el desarrollo de aplicaciones sociales e I+D+i, y de la que os hablaré dentro de poco. Juntos generamos una buena convocatoria, un buen ambiente y creo que un buen contenido, por lo menos práctico, y la gente salió con fuerzas de querer indagar en este fascinante mundo que aúna la tecnología con la creatividad. Fue un curso privado (¡que se repetirá seguro!) y además de cuatro horas de duración, por lo que no voy a poder compartirlo pero sí despuntar algunos pequeños detalles (muchos de ellos fueron publicados por Twitter) del taller.
The 50 Greatest Novels for Art Students Preparing to enter the often brutally critical art world can be a tough journey. Art students need lots of support, practice and inspiration to make their time in art school the best preparation possible to take on a serious fine art career. While professors, other artists and students offer up a lot of that, books can also be an amazing place to get a little inspiration or insight into what it’s really like to work as an artist. Here are some of the novels we believe will be the best reads for young artists in training. Covering diverse genres like historical fiction and mystery, there’s bound to be something for every aspiring artist to curl up with on a rainy day. These classic novels will not only help you to be more well-read, but have a lot of insight to offer those in the art world as well.
Lola Dupre Interview No computer used in the making of her collage; pure scissors, glue and a lot of patience. Intense work from this Glasgow based artist. We love it, and Jessica emailed her a few questions to get some insight into this talent whose works takes on avergage 25 hours to produce... She's also available for commissions. Wink wink. Tell us a little bit about yourself, Age?
