Shapeways 3D Printing & the Culture of Creativity



Been thinking on this for several days now.. mind blowing...
threre's a part of me that feels like John henry and the machine... fear of the human becoming obsolete.

feels absolutely perfect for the theatre world. set models. my goodness...solutions! to the mind of mine that  can conceive a full production stage design but does NOT want to do the leg work of the model making.  transient productions. things made to be destroyed.

this has to be the means tho..not the end... otherwise creative essence is lost..that specialness that people
get in their eyes when they show something and say "this was hand made" things made w/ the hand...
energy...transference of maker into object. ...most of that already lost.

anywho...there's also the me that just wants one of these today--like now! to print out the 52 puppet limbs i'm needing to construct...

more on this...

for now,

in awe of the 3d printer.

and the art of "failing faster."

excerpts ..poetic series w.i.p..




...but the man who didn't, hollowed out a valley inside of me with his footprint..compass toes pointed west as the sun slouches in exhaust behind a line of divide... going.going.gone. It is a quiet zone in here. The center of ocean craters.. |depths of feelings and thought| . moist lands of erosion. Where microscopes see stars and telescopes are pressed to the ear. ...

 I am coming to learn that i am inevitably him...

Brene Brown: The power of vulnerability




                  

Vulnerability is the birthplace of
Innovation, Creativity, and Change.
To create is to make something that never existed before.
There is nothing more vulnerable than that.
