La perspective à 1 point de fuite et moi 🧵5/...
Pour finir, j'ai refait un essai en plaçant vite fait quelques meubles, comme dans le bouquin.
C'est pas encore intuitif, cette affaire, mais l'exercice permet de comprendre comment construire une perspective simple.
Les explications sont claires, mais il faut prendre quelques minutes pour observer les schémas.

La perspective à 1 point de fuite et moi 🧵4/...
1ère séance de travail avec le livre mentionné plus haut.
Le 1er exercice consiste à dessiner une pièce carrelée.
J'ai compris comment tracer la ligne d'horizon, le point de fuite, le plan du tableau et la ligne de terre.
Je me suis d'abord plantée sur la localisation du point de fuite de la diagonale parce que j'ai mal lu 😬
Mon premier essai était donc faux, j'ai recommencé et cette fois ci, j'ai mieux géré...

La perspective et moi 2/…
Comment je vais organiser mon travail.
1. Je me réserve un créneau quotidien à partir de demain matin. (oui on est encore en septembre, mais tant pis)
2. Le livre contient une première partie sur les fondamentaux : 1,2 et 3 points du fuite. En octobre, je bosse sur 1 point de fuite, en novembre, 2 pts de fuite et décembre 3 pts de fuite.
3. Chaque fin de mois, j'essaye d'appliquer mes leçons sur une illu complète.

J'ai acheté ce livre de Sankara Mutoni pour m'exercer et travailler la perspective.
C'est un sujet que j'évite facilement, j'avoue.
Alors que je suis parfaitement capable de comprendre ce machin si je m'en donne la peine.
Donc, d'octobre à décembre 2023, je vais m'entraîner en suivant les conseils de ce livre.

Per an article in the NYT, the aggregate debt of developing nations is about $200 billion. Elon Musk could pay off that debt and still be worth $69 billion. (Musk's net worth is a range, depending on source and calculation. I used the Forbes number that appeared at the top of my Google search.)

From my summer “spring cleaning” through (literally) decades of saved clippings and cartoons (on paper), some of which I digitalized. Here's a favorite.
People say you have to travel to see the world. Sometimes I think that if you just stay in one place and keep your eyes open, you’re going to see just about all that you can handle.

Learning to distinguish the map versus the territory is an essential step. It’s critical to learn what a map is, and what maps are good for, in order to proceed with one’s life. Maps enable me to see and do things otherwise impossible; maps reveal unknown unknowns. Maps can also frustrate me endlessly. Sometimes I don’t want to have an opinion; I don’t want to spend the energy to have an opinion. I don’t care how I get from here to there. Just. Tell. Me. how to get there. And of course nothing in this paragraph has to do with literal maps of the world— I’m not talking about cartography nor driving directions.
On closer examination, it turns out there are many things wrong with it. Thousand True Fans is a hollow philosophy. It is Chicken Soup for the Digital Creator’s Soul, ultimately devoid of any real nutritional value.
~ Dave Karpf from, https://davekarpf.substack.com/p/the-hollow-core-of-kevin-kellys-thousand
Kevin Kelly’s 1,000 True Fans is a map, before it there was another map, The Cluetrain Manifesto, and there were others. When you find a new-to-you map it opens your mind to new possibilities. I would assume the first children’s books I encountered were astounding, but wouldn’t have the same effect today. (I’m not denigrating either of those works; I’m not suggesting they are “children’s books”.)
But I do get frustrated. I see a terrific map, and then I want to make a terrific next “move”. That’s not how maps work, Craig. You look at the map, then you take the next small step informed by everything you know, including the new perspective from the new map. You write one sentence (for example, on a page soliciting support for your work) and that’s informed by all the maps you’ve previously seen. Big picture. Little steps.

The importance of outside-in perspective! Excellent approach by Novartis!
It is a different point whether such perspectives are being acted upon or not; the first point is accepting that there is value in the outside-in perspective. For a company as large as Novartis to accept that is a pretty big deal.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight an convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
How does #art come into being for me? Mostly by looking. By shifting the #perspective while observing, by #connotations.

Recent releases by such "boomer" legends as Peter Gabriel & Rolling Stones, have generated all sorts of reactions, about their longevity, the merits of the new work, & the video components, including use of #AI.
My mantra is "context and perspective", so ...

He's super smart, insightful and often very funny. He posts about politics, but also a wide range of interesting subjects. James might be a really good addition to your Mastodon experience.

The nuances of UX. Understanding that driving towards this hole means English no longer reads top-to-bottom, but in reverse. The result? “Big very hole.”
Someone with a heart bigger than this hole took the time to warn people. That’s what matters. But I can’t look at this without considering reading order, travel speed, etc. That’s UX.
In any case, I hope someone puts some gravel in that hole. It’s perilous. May you all avoid the “big very holes.”

Window Friday. At this bus station in Amsterdam is a beautiful morning scene of colorful windows. They look artistically placed and are pleasing to look at. Early morning sun is behind some of the colored panes. If seen from far away on the outside you would notice that the red and orange spell AMSTERDAM. I really enjoyed this perspective.
