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 affionardo. (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 lions hunting outside. You will know wild is not comfortable. If your looking for comfortable go to a furniture warehouse chain and buy from a caged zoo. You possible prefer looking at wild animals in tame settings. 

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. 

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 2 very different streams of intelligence and thought processes.

(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 creativity that threatens to shut biological creative human thought down completely .

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. Artificial zprocess, 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 unashamed harvisting 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 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 imagination. I will always put AI second, i will retain my own imagination even while using AI as a 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 "Thinking" as their very own creative work.

So in the near future when all biological engineers or real human artistic expressive individuality is painted the same colour by AI "Thunking". When individual creative artistic human thought and imagination is outlawed by the drone temple AI council of human endeavor. And all biological human thought engineers imaginative efforts are superceded by Artificial Intelligence "Thunk!" A few biological synaptic human brain engineers will still have the ability to be artistically, creatively imaginative. Simply just keep pushing your individual art, designs and creativity in the face of all this "Thunking".

Im not against AI enhancing my renders, im not against AI as a very powerful tool helping with my graphics. 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 gifted. When AI using "Thunking" has done 99% of the propping up of the persons ptojected by AI musical ability. I find that 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. 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 within an artists mind.

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.

Wildetecture early design sketch

Stumbled apon an early wildetecture type architectural design sketch render. Using a combination of old school rendering techniques and raw human thought thinking design ability.

Now days you simply whisper into the darkness and the darkness spits out an AI rendered architectural design like an espresso coffee machine. Bzzzzzoootymagic!!! However this sketch your looking at is fully human cognitive mind driven. Possibly one of the very last purely human mind architectural render driven sketches ever made. 

Did i mention purely thought out by an actual raw limited human mind. A real person, not artificial intelligence. A very rough hand print on a cave wall. We simply are now creative design machine super technologically advanced are we not?

To conceive ideas through the mist and the ether is becoming a lost artistic skill. The AI artistic design machine in one point 2 seconds.  Will spit out a Frankly Wright Ando Antonio design. Even a 3 year old kid can wield the sword of creative genius through AI. As all design now becomes painted black and human mind geniuses are silenced by a machine. So keep pushing real creative human artistic creative thought. This next wave of  filtered through algorythmic artifical creative harvister art is on our doorstep, distilled through espresso machine bull dust. 

A wildetecture poem.

Nature Nurture.

A rose, my friend, is always a rose, 

no matter from whence the soil it grows.   

So is it our nature or our nurture,

that determines our stature?

Weeds will always choke the host, 

destruction & turmoil is their boast. 

A peaceable person is always kind, 

No matter the storms, that rage in the mind.

A rose will always grow into a rose,

no matter the soil from whence it grows.

Dont be fooled by those who always blame,

a peaceable nature will tygers try  tame.

The real question to life's answers are,

am I a weed or rose, seen from afar?

An answer to xenophobia.

 Yip Trip through design and collaboration with anyone who finds their way to Grebnezium. (His little seaside village.) He is able to through design improvements gained through shared ideas, making things better in his little village. Everyone can teach you what you dont know. A collaborative design approach is the best way to get to Mars. Migration is the human dynamic, always has been. Um or what is going to Mars? Tiddlywinks? Humans now look to interplanetary migration as a solution.  Pioneers have been travelling the world for ions to explore and grow humanity. Weve invented words for hate, suspicion & complete intolerance. Xenophobia, rascim, sectariniasm, tribalism. However we need to invent reality built from collaborative design ideas and mutual respect. 

We need to turn on our ability to learn from all. Not the self destructive hate that permeates everything we touch. Yip Trip is a little inventor character  that focusses on creating useful things through collaboration of everyones input. Isnt that how all successful inventors operate. They are not clever as individuals but as a small cog in a big wheel. 

A small voice not fanning the flames of extreme hate. Yip Trip a little boy using design and collabrative conversations. To improve one shared design idea concept at a time in his little village. Learning engineering, architecture, carpentry, building. Embracing foreigners and those brave enough to travel vast distances to boldy go where they certainly have never gone before. 

Design ideas can make a difference and it takes a small boy to unlock the best at first conceptual design ideas out of everyone he meets. The more people he meets the better the design ideas. This skill of overseeing conceptual design ideas is a learnt skill. However how will one learn it? If you dont even know its possibilities. All starts with a collaborative mindset. All can start from one little boy in your village?
