Self-reference and the “I”

Posted on February 9, 2021 by Georg

Where does art come from? I imag­ine a cer­tain anal­o­gy with the dis­course and dis­cus­sions about whether math­e­mat­ics is “out there” and we dis­cov­er it, or if we cre­ate math­e­mat­ics? If you look at your­self in the mir­ror; who or what is look­ing at you? The self-ref­er­ence. Dou­glas Hof­s­tadter devel­ops the theme and so much more in his rich and inter­est­ing book “I am a strange loop.” The cre­ative self; there are those who in con­ver­sa­tion say “I think …” but still deny that some­thing like one I exist. Inter­est­ing. Can aware­ness rec­og­nize itself? You look at your­self; what do mir­ror neu­rons reflect?

Any­way, cre­at­ing is nice I think. And I think my brain agrees.

Creating art makes sense…

Posted on February 8, 2021 by Georg

…feel it.

There is research and a lot of anec­dotes about the ben­e­fits of cre­ation and pos­i­tive effects, of course it does not only apply to visu­al art. Will write some posts about the research.

From PubMed:

The Role of the Visu­al Arts in Enhanc­ing the Learn­ing Process

“How can we devel­op tech­niques in learn­ing to engage the emo­tions? Learn­ing should not be dri­ven by fear but by desire. Why are the arts con­sid­ered sep­a­rate from the sci­ences? What were the first arts? How did the sci­en­tif­ic enquir­ing mind arise?”

d’Amboise (2008)

Kreationera mera

Jag gillar att bara bör­ja någon­stans; sät­ta ned penseln, ja i dessa fall dig­i­ta­la sådana och bara bör­ja “leka” på, se vad som kom­mer, utan att ha någon med­veten plan. Explo­rativt. Avkopplande.

Ny fotokon­st. Såg ut över land­skapet där jag bor på lan­det; aspar, björkar, en åker, en höjd. Och så blev det så här.
