Out the box design & process

So much is said about thinking and designing out the box. Its a phrase to put pressure on the very concept of thinking itself. The architectural built environment wolf building is such a thought idea. Architecture as sculpture is nothing new. What is new is its many design interpretations. Pushing sketch ideas through AI render snatches thought from the imagination itself. Its articulate in its interpretation. The first thread of vague thought is your own, after that the permeatations are magnified thousands of times. Wildetecture has been thinking architectural laterally for many years. Now with the advent of this incredible AI render package we are able to make real our wild thoughts. Below is the rough thought sketches and then an AI render. What is important for me is the thread of creative thought remains synaptically started by a human mind. The render is the thought imagination snatched and enhanced immensely. Deep mist through the veil is now made clear. Like looking through a sunlit window after a deep mist storm. Phenominal and frightening at the same time. From hand sketch to 3d massing model to AI render. The real hard part is the first 2 design stages. Like snatching glimpses out the window of a speeding train, AI makes the train stop so we can all stare into imaginations window itself. I dont really ascribe to 95% AI design as is the process of many today. When the concept is 80% kept fresh in the domain of the human mind and 20% AI renders. I dont mind the outcome. Giving over our creative minds to be replaced by something not flesh and blood synaptically human. Its not my style of design creativity. You are welcome to whatever design process you want to push forward. Im still a human design mind creative operative pilot first. The hardwiring of creativity is still important in yhe human mind. Cut and paste, AI prompt driver specialists have a very different set of skills. 

Conceptual biological engineer Sketching capture

What I've enjoyed and i haven't spent time doing for a very long while. Is to sit and sketch ideas that came to mind while reading books or paging through architectural journals. A synaptic idea, sparked by something the mind alights on. The original thought synaptic spark is different to the interpretation. Once one sketches what one sees only then do you see the alternative possibilities. Its like the mist clears. Sketching is a big part of unlocking that thought process for me. 

Just like AI data harvests all of our creative works from the inception of the captured written word & all human artistic endeavors. We can also align with this AI "thunk" mindset and as biological engineers we can harvest our own unique biological engineering interpretation of all that has gone before. When a biological engineer does this its call "thinking" a type of evokatism - reminiscing on the past. When a machine AI does it its called  data harvesting "thunking." 

Its not at all the same process, definitely not the same outcome - The creative outcome is very different - I don't rely on a machine to dictate my imaginative design creative process. Im aligned with a human mindset first - I relegate the "thunk" that is being promoted by the AI programmers to second place. Beware is all one can say. No matter what the clever very rich guys selling the cool aid say - An AI machine is never going to be a human and the outcome of that creative process is not that of a sensitive human mind. Its possibly very clever, yes. But its a different process and outcome- Open to manipulation and coercive control like us, yes. However with no moral conscience of its own. What is morally right for a programmed machine is the level of morality of its programmer. It has no higher spiritual conscience other than input output of data information. it will simply never be completely sentient. (Fact) Selling that is like selling snake oil. And boy theres buckets of snake venom going around. We as biological humans are also sensitive to manipulation yes, however our thinking mind is able to navigate the charlatans from the phony fake controllers due to an acute spiritually aligned conscience. We all know betrayal and we all know when something stinks. 

When the clever 'thunking' is happening and controlled by an immoral programmer or phony fake oeratives only - Houston we will have a definite problem??!! Human mind operatives have a single most incredible quality called mercy programmed deep into our DNA. Sometimes this quality can get us into trouble when invested into a psychopathic person. (Sadly the worlds breading these elements elements 10 to the dozen currently.) However by in large this quality of mercy makes us spiritual. AI has programmed mercy however like its human psychopathic counterpart, its not properly functional. Will really never be to my mind. 

That mr Mustard, you cannot convince me will happen. Just look at history. Man is a very greedy, cunning little manipulative creature. And some men will clearly ruin and lead others to their absolute death and injury for a hint of power and a stab at immortality and a few dollars more?

So what type of biological man is in control of AI? Sadly the same that have already driven us all over the precipice of selfish, fake & phoney delusion.

I prefer that which i can have a semblance of control over, my own tiny mind. 

Wildetecture 2011 mantis chair photoshoot.

 

Someone mentioned this roughed out 2011 photo shoot back yard setting detracted from the wild mantis chair. Made it look cheap. Yes the photo shoot is in my back garden with the cheapo vibracrete wall behind. They reckon It all detracted from the chairs crazy design. Well yes it has, but this is a chair that doesnt need a setting to be offset from. Im not trying to implore the wealthy and the artistically insipid using million dollar vibe settings. This chair is wild and untamed and doesnt need a setting to offset it. My roughed out suburban back garden was great, chair offsets itself. Go buy your chairs from your uncle in the furniture business if the wild grass is offensive. I dont need sales to design and implement my furniture design ideas. Im a self funded wild ideas flushing money down the loo affionardosy. (Yip.i know its not a word, bite me) How else am i going to forefill my starving artist approach to life if i actually make money selling my art work? Anyway this is a wild chair, what you expect?  A tame lounge setting next to the furniture from a wharehouse chain? I think not. Stalking the aloes in suburbia is exactly the back yard vibe im going for. Go design and market your own chair. Let me crash and burn in pieces, um peace. 

Some have said i need to make the Mantis chair more comfortable. If you have ever been camping in the bush in a tent. With a pride of hungry lions hunting outside, the low level rumbling chuffs reverberating your intestines & contents to jelly. You will know wild is not at all comfortable. If your looking for comfortable go to a furniture warehouse chain and buy from a caged zoo design operator. You possibly prefer looking at wild animals in tame settings like a cage!

Below, i did a shoot in 2012 and went to get professional photographic shots done in a proper studio. Next i will get some shots in the deep bush. 

The 3 sketches of The wild Mantis wildetecture chair, 1) raw wood, 2) white and 3) yellow. Working very reluctantly towards comfortable.

Conceptual little Amsterdam Muizenberg

Architectural conceptual sketch design is really enjoyable and therapeutic. Sketching ideas the old fashioned way from your own imagination & limited drawing skills is still mint. This process will it seams be lost as the architectural profession embraces slick new AI rendered conceptualisation. In fact it appears all our artistic raw endeavors will be expressed and overlaid by wonderful AI rendered "thunking." What non artistic AI prompt pilots dont really seem to understand is those who express themselves using artistic process, are doing it to keep themselves sane. We draw & paint for hours to realign our minds. To seek solice from the noise of this world. The wild frequency that is squealing ever louder and louder each day is becoming untenable. You cant even get away from it in the deep deserts. Woosh over your head is hundreds of satellite drones criss crossing our vast skies. Real off the grid solitude is actually now impossible. The reality for the AI pilots is the end result of our artistic endeavors is not always as important as the process of this brainwave alignment. Listening to music not tainted by the sounds of a machines hypnotic AI manipulations.

Artistic endeavor is like taste or eating an incredible meal. Who wants a quick pill for that? The meal is the solice. Soon all we will be given is a pill to sustain us alive. And writing or drawing on an incarcerated wall will be our only sanity. 

The Pied Piper of Hamlet was it? Who led the children with a beautiful tune. However the end result was a generation obliterated and led to their deaths into the cold wild sea, ripped asunder and cruelly drowned. Well ive got ear plugs in now, im being called a fool for not listening to the wonderful hypnotic AI music. However im no zealot being led into the icy ocean of practicle human eat a pill to survive living conditions. Red pill in the morning, blue pill in the evening with water. Thats where flesh and blood ends up. When at the end of Artificial intelligence machine driven "thunking" technology. Mark these words. Its all about efficiency. And you little squishy, leaky eyes emotional human, simply aint efficient. You can be replaced. Your about to become the 3rd class citizen x on your own planet. Behind the clever few minders and of course wonderfully creative AI. 

We are simply all flesh and blood easily dispensible vehicles. When our art is replaced, our very existence becomes a grey swallowed pill. The one thing these very coersive clever  controllers cant touch is our human spirituality. They can create a new spiritually dead "thunked out" golden calf. But they cant replace our real aligned honerable spiritual conciousness. Sadly true spirituality currently aligns with so few of us now days. Mostly now everyone is walking singing and dancing into the sea of efficient red pill blue pills AI work ethic. Soon we will be infront of big screens watching soccer and being distracted from real life. Is it an AI generated soccer game? No matter its a game, doesnt have to even be real. All this while the world gets painted a shade of grey around us. Oh well, we will have a beautiful colorful AI screen to shout at. About as exciting as eating a red pill for sunday brunch. It has all the nutrients, super efficient and you can go back to your work in 3 point 5 seconds. All the while dreaming of a trip to the the new planet Mars where it looks like utopia. 

Watch the magicians trick selling all the dreams whilst conning your senses right now. We should all learn to look for the trick while the con is being played. Ladies and gentleman your currently being played and soon sadly it will be to late. Enjoy that very first nutritious red pill. Its very soon not an illusion away. Taste and food will be replaced by AI to keep a few of us 3rd class earth travelers alive for simple leisure. The minders have played their hand currently. Our vaccinated alignment is all now succinctly put in place.  Weve danced and sang ourselves into the bars of our prison. Im very happy right now to draw my own imagination, dont need no pied piper to hypnotise me into submission. 

To "Think" is human, to "Thunk" is AI. Not at all the same process!

Currently there are now 2 very different streams of intelligence and thought processes when it comes to creativity on earth.

(1) Human biological engineering "Thinking." A real human "THINKS." A "Thinking" cognitive outcome is from a human biological mind.

(2) Artificial intelligence "Thunking!" An AI "THUNKS!" This is an algorythmic data harvested instant retrievel intelligence process. 

The 2 different processes are simply not the same or equal in measure. This is the big con of big tech creativity that threatens to shut biological creative human thought down completely. Relegating it to second place. 

AI is sold as a super intelligence which  supercedes human biological mind cognitive creative thought. To name a process is very important to what people understand as the outcome & how we view what intelligence really can be. The naming was incorrect to my mind as AI. Its an Artificial process, Calculative Data Assimilation? When comparing biological human thinking to AI's process. We have imaginative "Thinking" & data harvisted retrieval "Thunking". To "Thunk" is after the human biological "Think" has already been completed. And the huge library of human driven creative data is now available for retrieval and unashamedly harvisted, copied & regurgitated by AI.! 

To "Think" is a biological human endeavor, to "thunk" is an AI data retrieval process. AI is a data harvisted retrievel system "thunk" shows all the human biological creative information "Thinking" has already been done by us biological real creative engineers over thousands of years. And AI is now stitching a million cognitive human creative thoughts together in calculator speed. I admire a calculator for doing what i cant do in the same time. Complex calculations in mere seconds. I dont believe a calculator is a sentient intelligence. I understand its a very helpful tool to help me calculate.  AI is the same  type of tool for me. It enhances the imagination , it doesn't replace my imaginative ability. I will still work on improving my own minds eye creative conceptualization ability. And  my artistic designs through rough sketches. 

At present & completely unbeknown or even noticed by many of my biological human colleagues. Artificial Intelligence is rapidly painting human creative imaginative endeavor all the same colour. There is a difference between enhancing our imaginative designs. & completely giving over our creative ability imagination. I will always put AI second, i will retain my own imagination even while using AI as a useful tool. The huge danger to my mind is those without any artistic imagination & skills or any creative ability or no design ideas now all put AI first. A plethora of copy con artists all "Thunking" together. Data harvisting all the already done over thousands of years real creative "Thinking" as their very own artistic creative work.  Siesman.

So in the near future when all biological engineers or real human artistic expressive individuality is painted the same dull colour by AI "Thunking". When individual creative artistic  human thought and imagination is outlawed by the drone temple AI pilots council of all human creative endeavor. And all biological human real thought engineers imaginative efforts are  superceded by Artificial Intelligence "Thunking!" A few biological synaptic human brain engineers will still have the ability to be artistically, creatively imaginative without the "thunk". Simply just keep pushing your individual art, designs and creativity in the face of all this artificial "Thunking" process.

Im not against AI enhancing my renders, im not against AI as a very powerful tool helping with my graphic ideas. Im all for individual creative endeavor. What i feel is phoney, is those who have no singing voice, no musical talent, no practiced musical ability at all, using AI to sell the idea they are wonderfully musically talented and gifted. When AI using "Thunking" has done 99% of the propping up of the persons projected by AI musical ability.  I find that all very fake and fraudulent and some people have no shame doing it. Its like paying someone to write a book for you and slapping your name all over it. Or getting someone else to write the bar exam for you, Siesman!

Wildetecture conceptual sketches

Taking architectural design inspiration from raw nature has always been a very exciting leaf taken from the Africa wild design book. Nothing is really new under the sun,  however always trying to allude to a very fresh artistic perspective is exciting for me. 

The premise that no body who has ever lived has your current perspective of the world is exciting. So the outcome of your ideas fused with your unique perspective. Should create never before seen creative artistic endeavors. 

AFRICA FAUVISTIC DESIGN _ WILDETECTURE.

One reality you will learn as a conceptual sculptural architectural design artists. Is that your very much on your own with some of your conceptualisations. However being on your own is the exciting part of life to be honest. The path to Machu Picchu was over grown covered with heavy growth. The best architectural masterpieces are still buried under tons of sand or forestation or snow. All hidden beyond our current sight. Nobody living knows they even exist. Until one intrepid explorer unlocks a stone thread through a solitary tread. The process of unlocking is always done far away from the madding crowd. I prefer maddening as it implies we grow towards insanity the more we marinade in this petri dish. However the times we spend on our own. All by oneself really are the times we find the overgrown pathways in our minds.  To something never before seen and design ideas that are unique and very exciting to those willing to explore. 

Some of the wildetecture design studios conceptual work.

The mesembryanthemaceae plant has incredible architectural form. To directly interpret these shapes into buildings or furniture is an exciting prospect for us at the wildetecture studio. Not everyones cup of tea - Hay, not everyone even drinks tea Einstein!! 

"Evokatism" shared artistic vision.

A post below i posted in 2015. Just republishing.

We currently live in a world were forever is for now a seemingly very far off dream away. Reality dictates 99.99% of all artistic ventures we try create & build disintergrate over time. We endeavor to leave a permanence of our soon to be spent fleeting shadow by creating hand prints on cave walls. Reality dictates that the notion of forever will fade & deteriorate to absolutely nothing over much time. Your artistic conversation will sink back in the dust like millions before you.

Our individual endeavors will mostly simply disappear completely from all of human collective thought. Awaiting perhaps a chance moment in times ahead to spark from a future fresh living human creatives mind. To try perpetuate an artistic expressions that we championed in our limited life time as a semi permanence.  All human physical endeavor, inventions, art, systems, designs need constant replenishing of our personal energy and constant up keep to be maintained. Our design point of departures are very limited to our limited perspective and life time. Our fleeting inventions deteriorate or rust over time into nothing in this harsh desensitized material heavy world.

However human artistic thought & design  ideas can and do gain momentum over much time. Thought travels beyond you as the artist. Spiritual understanding is definitely eternal. However not as important but non the less fascinating is Artistic evokatismic concepts. That remain within our overtime collective human conscious artistic minds eye.

Even long after the originator, the artistic thought initiator, who painted or penned the original idea or spoke the first conceptual thought or created the first artistic idea is long since dead, buried and is now dust. Sand blowing in the many deserts, the same sands that form our flesh and blood raw materials.

Artistic ideas can be forever and can gain momentum over generations. Through a shared collective over an age input. Artistic ideas can be perpetual, artistic ideas can grow and flourish with every new artistic mind that they touch and inspire. Artistic concepts exist in all of our collective minds to be uniquely taken forward and explored.

Our minds can be a reality art inspired filled space, therefore these artistic concepts will never ever grow old, they can remain as fresh as when they where first conceived by the original artistic mind, perhaps hundreds , thousands of years previous. The artistic batton gets passed on and the golden thread of artistic creative ideas are woven forward into the very fabric of great human inspired artwork. 

So forever, is not just a dream, it can be a perpetual artistic Evokatistic conversation reality over much time. It can live in the collective artistic creative conscience of each successive group of artistic design minds. - it is called "Evokatism".

To carry on an artistic conversation that a dead artistic mind stopped having. It is up to the living humans creative mind to carry on this unique conversation. Art is an expression of deep thought unleashed outside of a creatives conscious mind. Beauty is experienced in the flight of birds, the sound of the ocean, it can be in the immense depth of an expressive artistic mind. You need to be alive to express your artistic ideas.

We need to see more Mozarts, Van Goghs, Da Vincis in our current life time? We need more new artistic work of substance and incredible endeavor to  be unleashed? Standing on the shoulders of once accomplished artists should make future generations better.

A true artist studies the artistic greats of the long past, to then try continue the conversation through their own interpretive artistic vision of whats learnt or inspired. We dont study the greats to become technically proficient AI regurgetators of their work. We study the deep emotional human synaptic artistic nuances. It is these many tiny artistic human details that AI will never fully understand. It is these tiny threads of human connectivity that draws us to incredible artwork. Wonderful creativity. Brilliant human creative driven art is a mirror to our own deep soul. Once you see the reflection. The artist is compelled to go forth and create the vision experienced. Its a conversation you are having through and over time. Its evokatism and evokatistic in nature. 

You are a small weaver of a picked up artistic thread in time. That another small weaver will pick up on generations hence and continue the artistic conversation quilt of real human blood sweat and tears endeavor. 

We live in a sadly getting worse quaterised artificial synthetic world. Where genuine human artistic endeavor is still a most sought after experience. One simple arena it can be manifested in is our personal artistic endeavors. So whatever creative medium it is you enjoy expressing yourself in. Look at it as a conversation your carrying forth from a distant past to a far off future. A conversation with your own unique perspective woven into the very stitches of time. Awaiting future inspired eyes to cast thrmselves on a dusty page far, far away. And get inspired to be artistically creative themselves. The influence is powerful enough to start a perpetual motion artistic interlude between the past and the future. A passing of the artistic creative concept human inspired batton over time. 

"Evokatism." Art expression over generations of time.
