Darwin Jingili Water Gardens Day 2



I have participated in previous holidays with urgency to experience something that I have not experienced before - a different country, a different city, and different tourist sites. I have a well-developed desire to travel and gain satisfaction through novel experiences. I have accepted that the consumption of difference is the basis of my creativity.

However, this holiday is passive and now intentionally regulated by maintaining a pattern of doing the same each day to reflect on the subtlety of difference. 

I'm not 'just doing it' for the sake of just doing it, at the same-ish time of day. On the same path through the same location, two days in a row, trying to establish my understanding of action within Jingil Water Garden within itself.  

So I am intentionally subjugating myself to perform in a linear succession day after day. In this manner, I bridge myself with yesterday, with today, and with tomorrow. A challenge of repetition to gain a deeper understanding of my creative purpose. Each repeated iteration an improvement in understanding of my interpolation with Jingili Water Gardens. 'Beginning and beginning again' (Deleuze) to differentiate my experiential intentions. 

Can continuous beginning be manipulated to change my perceptions of what I currently understand? Can what is essentially fleeting and easily forgotten become a breakthrough of realization by employing repetition? 

To self-discipline myself thinking through the confinement of a loop to ultimately forcibly break out of the loop, to see sameness and difference within continuity and employing habit to understand dealer forces within the dimension of the experience. 

Many artists employ repetition to produce an identifiable and sellable trademark. Each individual artifact as a reproduction of beginning and beginning again aimed at stepping forward to a purposed pursuit that is authoritative and creative. The loop, not as a deficit but as a continuous improvement cycle that enables uniqueness and a correlative sense of recognition and familiarity. Knowing before experiencing to advance knowledge.  Each iteration of knowing that bit more advance before experiencing once again. Embedding each experience to consolidate knowing. 


At what repeated experience can I understand a leveling up, where I claim mindfulness - I know this place, I have experienced the iterations and future experiences are foreseeable. Or shall I lose interest or seek another variable to reattain novelty? 

My holidays are normally devoted to novelty. That is basically indulgence, luxury, and sensual pleasure. Knowing that within the temporal release of formal duty I will gain stimulation and uplift through unique experiences. After the short-term whirl, I return to the grind of regulated repetitive work, focussed on improvement. 

Is it a waste of precious time to repeat and to re-enact over and over again, when I could be doing something totally different each day? Shouldn't my holiday-life be my own individualistic fabrication of something new each and every moment, and feasting on a multiplicity of possibilities that is open to me?


Day 2 of my COVID-19 restrictions holiday and I am employing Jingili Water Gardens as an agent to predict reality. I am questioning whether the enforcement of restrictions is a violation of my cognitive/social boundaries. I am employing repetition as a reflective re-enactment to discover creative differences. Can I gain further insights and identity-based understandings through iterative reenactment?

Godin Connectedness

Image
Godin Connectedness  We argued with the vengeance from poorly informed memory. Straight from the loss to blame. For whatever reason it perpetuated justification. Of construeded loss,  from the need to self victimise. To the need of claiming nothing in particular. It was the battle to ingrain and embellish memory. In so, we tore each other apart and to feed individual right. Our eternal want to be known as right. The want for immediate anger to surface, rant and to glorify our past glories of being wronged. And then we rested exhausted.

The Unseen Shadows

Image
  In The Unseen Shadows, the viewer is presented with a thought-provoking exploration of the psychological inter-relationship of creativity. This artwork delves into the role of subconscious emotional traits as a catalyst for malevolent creativity, shedding light on the unseen shadows that can influence our positioning to enact creativity.  The portrait that emerges from this is both compelling and paradoxical. On the one hand, creativity is often celebrated for its positive impact, but on the other hand, it can also be shrouded in malevolent shadows. The artwork seeks to correlate the inferences between powerful and regressive symbols of harmful creativity with cognitive and motivational facets of the grip fueled by creativity's darker side. The intricate dance of shadows draws on Plato's cave allegory, with oppression acting as a distorted puppeteer that can cast a veil of gloom over our cognitive impulses.  The emotional aspects can cast a unique shadow by continually adding

The Chariot Cave and Entity

Image
  The allegorical cave of Plato presents a compelling tableau where residents, shackled and deceived, view mere shadows as the totality of existence. Into this darkness arrives a beacon of defiance and enlightenment - "The Chariot" by Alberto Giacometti. Despite its delicate appearance, this spectral entity stands firm, embodying the audacious perseverance of the human spirit in its quest for verity. The chariot's wheels, though stationary, symbolize the latent potential for progress and evolution, challenging the stagnation within the cave. The figure stationed on the chariot epitomizes the archetype of a visionary leader within this space of obscured understanding. This leader questions the prevailing paradigm, exhibiting the courage to turn away from the shadowy deceptions in a bid for illumination. The cave dwellers might view this quest as an insurmountable challenge, yet the persistent presence of the chariot stands as a testament to this relentless pursuit. In this

21st Augmented Man

Image
  As you stand in front of the portrait of the augmented man, carefully crafted to challenge assumptions and provoke discussion about art's place in social media, you may find yourself caught amid an ever-evolving cultural debate. The prevalence of algorithmic influence and mass opinion can sway our political beliefs and shape the narratives we accept, leading us to question the patterns we see before us.  Depending on your biases and assumptions, the portrait may represent either a symbol of empowerment or containment. It is intended to be twofold. This raises an important question: when does an image cease to exist as a simple work of art and become a calculated weapon designed to sway public opinion and manipulate your emotions? The augmented man portrait is a poignant statement on the power of art as a political tool. This discussion remains relevant even in the age of social media and the traditions of our ongoing culture wars. 21st Augmented Man Video The vision of the augmen

A Facilitator of Enlightenment

Image
  In our journey through life, we may find ourselves entangled in a metaphorical cave, our understanding of reality confined to the shadows projected on the walls. Merchants who prosper on our want of prosperity and opportunistic wealth cast these phantoms of reality, manipulating our senses for their gain. Yet, in a moment of profound revelation, you break free, grasping the truth that the world beyond the cave is the actual reality. That is the enlightenment that unveils the fleeting nature of worldly games. Upon your return to the cave, the opportunity of your leadership is not simply to announce the existence of the alternative world but to dismantle the illusions holding your peers and community in ignorance. Your task is to illuminate the mechanisms of their conditioning, patiently working to dispel their fabricated values and entrenched misconceptions. In your transformative context, leadership is a conduit for awakening, a medium for cultivating mindfulness and resilience. It i

Innovative Leaders need Creative Artists

 Consider THIS Gatekeeper Gatekeepers in the art world determine what art is exhibited and made available to the public. Gatekeepers include curators, gallerists, collectors, critics, and other art industry professionals. Museums, galleries, and cultural institutions are often considered the primary Gatekeepers. Curators play an influential role in selecting and organizing exhibitions. As an independent artist, it is essential to recognize and consider the influence of these Gatekeepers. Botticelli Gatekeepers The Medici family played a significant role in shaping the art and culture of the Renaissance period and were critical patrons of the Arts in Florence. Botticelli and other Renaissance artists navigated the values and expectations of their patrons to maintain financial support and avoid falling out of favour. Botticelli's famous paintings, The Birth of Venus and Primavera, were sponsored by the Medici family and demonstrate their classical influence. The church also significa

Ghosts of Memories Past

Image
  When you look at this portrait of a man who has been purposely demonized, you may find that your own personal biases and historical distortions come into play. How you interpret his sombre features and haunting eyes may be tainted by your own experiences and the childhood and adult stories you've been told and seen about this type of person. As you look at the portrait, you may see a villain or a victim, depending on your biases and preconceptions. This means the picture is not just a static image but an intended reflection to trigger your attitudes and memories. The portrait's purpose is to remind us how media can call on imprinted memory to influence how we see and understand others. Ghosts of Memories Past Video The portrait depicts a demonized man. Personal biases and historical distortions may come into play when viewing the portrait. Personal experiences and stories may influence the interpretation of the man's features.

The Son of Man

Image
  Rene Magritte The Son of Man Immerse yourself in "The Son of Man," by Renay Magrette. This outstanding artwork captures the essence of Surrealism. The green apple is not just an apple but a vibrant beacon attracting mystery and intrigue. Its rich, green hue and perfect roundness evoke curiosity. Question yourself. What do you think is concealed beneath? The suited figure and the obscured face suggest a rigid but boundless identity. The formality of his attire contrasts with the absence of his face. Suggesting the complexity of layers that form our workplace identity. Then there's the backdrop. A moody sky and a steadfast brick wall set the dramatic stage of concealment and revelation. They form an atmosphere of introspection that further accentuates the mystery. "The Son of Man" is a compelling masterpiece, a visual puzzle that invites us to question reality and perception. It's a mesmerizing artwork that sparks our human curiosity. Art Review Short  If yo
