Bret Victor's "Future of Computing" talk is approaching its 10th birthday, so here it is for folks who may have missed it first time around: https://invidious.zapashcanon.fr/watch?v=8pTEmbeENF4
> The '60s and early '70s were a fertile time for #computerscience ideas, reminds Victor, but even more importantly, it was a time of unfettered thinking, unconstrained by programming #dogma, #authority, and #tradition. 'The most dangerous thought that you can have as a #creative person is to think that you know what you're doing,' explains Victor. 'Because once you think you know what you're doing you stop looking around for other ways of doing things and you stop being able to see other ways of doing things. You become blind.' He concludes, 'I think you have to say: "We don't know what programming is. We don't know what computing is. We don't even know what a computer is." And once you truly understand that, and once you truly believe that, then you're free, and you can think anything.'"
![A video still showing a wide shot of Bret Victor on stage, dressed as an IBM drone of the period, with his arms raised. Behind and above him is a giant projection from an overhead projector [1] showing a transparency with the text "The Future of Programming - Bret Victor".

I finally finished this quilt. Fabric from 1 pack of charm squares that my mother gave me for my birthday 2 years ago; some of my Dad’s shirts (I still have so much fabric from these despite having used them in multiple quilts! There is so much fabric in a man’s shirt!); a thrifted sheet; some Toile de Jouy from somewhere (Besançon?); and scraps. The best sort of improvised quilt! #recycledmaterials #recycledfabric

Me: Morning, seems like it's time to get into the vertical alignment and do something about tackling the handful of tasks on my To Do list before I can try & be creative for a couple of hours 😄.
Autistic Me: Oh, shucks! It'll be teatime by the time I've survived the To Do list 😧! I'll be snagged into either doing, hasty, stressed out #crapDoodle or I'll just be too done in & pissed off with myself to even do that 😭… again…

Working through creative content is sometimes very difficult to do. Today I spent an hour studying how to draw noses, then journaled for an hour, then created a short video to try and boost traffic to my blog which I published a new article on. Through all of this my wife and I have been planning our fits for Pride tomorrow and enjoying the beginning of our summer. #tired #busy #creative #writer #artist #filmmaker

Incoming blog update: waking moments - https://www.blanckslate.co.uk/2017/04/waking-moments.html

This is a shame:
'Languages and the creative arts are falling out of favour among GCSE and A-level students, who are increasingly opting for more vocational subjects such as computing and business studies'
'.... art and design subjects are down 3% year on year for A-levels and GCSEs.'

This won't be everyone's cup of tea, in fact it will probably appeal to very few. However, as my photography develops I realise the camera is a tool I can use creatively to capture what a scene means to me. Sometimes the little details and nuances of light can be more memorable than the grand vista, or pull on the heart strings more. There is no fancy trickery here, just a camera and lens used in a creative way. #creative #triptych #bokeh #sea #ocean #shimmer #light #shimmer #sun #photography

Learning to be okay with discomfort is a skill unto itself. It’s a reminder from the universe: Not everything is about you. It’s a clue that you should prioritize listening over action, awareness over authority. Embracing discomfort can also be an opportunity to recognize how far you’ve come and also where you need to go next. https://inkican.com/survival-guide-for-creative-people/ #creativity #art #creative #artist #design #love #selfcare

4/4 He tells others that on his planet, horses are predators and know their strength, unlike on Earth where they are being used by humans for their service! I don't recall this part being in the book, as far as I remember (I read the book long ago).
Imagine the vibrant imagination in sci-fi that frames horses, that we are so used to seeing as being controlled by humans, as a predatory species!
A few weeks ago, I finished a five week bookmaking class at a local art center in my neighborhood. I have really wanted to do something with my hands and I've had such a great time making these books - it almost was like meditation. Doing it has helped me be more comfortable with learning from my mistakes. I'm so glad I did it!
I've included another photo of new books made from an arts pamphlet.

I've heard that #Mastodon.social has been put in timeout on some smaller servers due to spam concerns. Anybody know if the same is true for #mstdn.social (my instance)? I seem to be getting less engagement, which may just be the whims of the network, but I was curious if there was something else going on given the convos I've seen.
Also pondering moving to a smaller instance.... Suggestions for open #writer / #creative servers welcome!
Smart work by the agencies DAVID (Madrid) and INGO (Hamburg), for Al-Futtaim IKEA, where the idea frames the client as only (and proudly!) the 'second best', but that's why it scores in terms of emotional appeal because the 'first best' choice is a hands-on act by the parents themselves!

Hi everyone! Did you participate in this year's 36 Days of Type challenge? :)
My idea was to use animation, 3d modeling, and compositing in my design process. I used After Effects, Blender, and Affinity Designer software. Without any general artistic idea for the whole alphabet, I tried to set aside a few hours each day to design what inspired me that day.

Random reminder that you as a #writer, #GameDev, #IndieDev, or #creative are not bad at naming things. You as a HUMAN are bad at naming things.
We have "pineapple" because it looked vaguely like a pinecone, which at the time were called pineapples, because they were something hanging off a tree that happened to be a pine. Nobody even came up with a new word, they just used the same one for a completely different object that doesn't even grow on a tree.
A "leopard" was already a "pard." Some ass then called it a "lion leopard."
A "sea urchin" is named after what we now call hedgehogs.
Springfield was chosen for The Simpsons' town because there's one in like half the states in America and they wanted viewers to identify it as theirs.
Half of New England is "New" tacked on whatever was in England. Everything in England has the WORST names when translated into modern English. We're talking "bargain bin at the dollar store fantasy novel" crap.
If anything, we're currently the BEST we've ever been at naming.
Are AI tools really as smart as creative writers? 🧐 It looks like we will soon know for sure. In any case, AI and its influence on our societies must be watched closely: After all the tools were trained with human writers content who they are now supposed to replace.

3/3 The voice-over inspiration for Adidas's ad comes from an even older, iconic ad: the 1998 ad for The Independent newspaper, by the agency Lowe Howard-Spink.
The narrative? A lot of 'Don't do...' this and that. The ad ends with 'Don't buy' (with a shot of a stack of newspapers) and 'Don't read'.
This is good inspiration, building on the older narratives to remix a new one!
Powerful and evocative, particularly the one referring to the elevator! 👌
2003 print ads (double page spreads) by the agency Fallon, for client Timberland.
2/2 And as they talk about it, it builds the vehicle's profile! I loved the lines, "It lives out there, in the city", "It wanders the street at night, looking for food" (to establish the city road profile), and "It can carry 2 kayaks, on its back" (to establish the off-roading capability). The line invoking the parking was the weakest, though - I thought it didn't fit seamlessly into the build-up of the idea.
ARTISTS: We can ALL use this reminder! It's easy to get caught up in selling and lose sight of the PASSION. Always keep that FIRE!! Always...
COLLECTORS: You matter so much to us Independent Artists.
When you BOOST/FOLLOW or COLLECT our art, it allows us the ability to work on our craft. Priceless!

#Education doesn't favor the #creative thinker:
The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis,
the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion
-- these are the most valuable coin of the thinker at work.
But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.
"The Process of Education", Jerome S. Bruener
This was recommended in a writing workshop I attended yesterday, but it applies to any creative endeavour.
It addresses the demotivation you face when your own work doesn't match up to your taste (in work by others).
An inspiring message that will take just 2 minutes of your time.
Ah, nothing like a gloomy skull to lift your spirits, am I right?☁️🦴This one's clearly having a blast sitting alone in the grass, lost in existential thoughts. Maybe it's pondering the meaning of life, or just trying to remember where it left its body. Who knows!😂

Hi everyone! My name is Selma and I’m an amateur writer. I love cats, cake, and coffee. I’ve created this account to share some of my short stories and hopefully connect with fellow writers. Looking forward to meeting you!

The German Society of Self-employed Copywriters has published a position paper on the use of AI in #copywriting & other #creative professions.
Some of their points & demands:
- The online work of creative professionals needs to be protected.
- AI services must be transparent in how their #bots are trained (i.e. exactly which online data they use).
- Human creativity must be protected, valued, and supported.
- AI-generated copy should be labelled as such. 👍
Let's continue with another of my favourites of the crow family, the good old magpie ^__^
Fun fact: in Germany the digital tax paying thing is called the German name for magpie (Elster) which is kinda baffling and fitting since magpies are said love stealing shiny things 🤷♀️

this isn’t real, but I actually do think this kind of content is the most effective way to reach people these days
I’m helping companies make stuff like this (joke trailers *and* real shows). slide into my DMs if you want to explore creative marketing and educational content 👀

I'm proud of my creative 25 year old #Egyptian cousin, who is working with Icelandic-Danish #artist, Eliasson Olafur, to put #ClimateChange front and centre in #Qatar exhibition & #desert installation.
My cousin is the young man in yellow t-shirt with the towering afro :)
