~ . . . Parametric architecture/art is beautiful when done right - Jason Silva has some interesting ideas on the topic ~ "I think showing the artistry and the beauty behind technology and behind nature I think is a new art form, because I think that even in my talk on big data I was saying: The more we can measure, the more we can quantify, the more we can take pictures of, the more we can understand with our science, the more we can then visualize and illustrate and it becomes art."

Lieber Herr Stocker, Mandelbrotmenge computergeneriert = grafische Kunst? Zufallsanimierte Architektur und schon Kunst? Irgendwie wie Architektur = parametrische Kunst. Ich denke das Parametrie ein Hype bleiben wird wie Postmodern oder Dekonstruktion, etwas das in der Beliebigkeit endet. Da stellt sich für mich die Frage:Today people think architecture is like a butterfly, or a flying whale. Or even art.. art is a butterfly. But, you know... I thougt about it. Architecture to me is absolutley an elephant. Art is an elephant. Because you know it is extremly heavy and old. And also kind of looks cute, like elephants looks cute in a zoo, or looks cute in a circus when they dress them up. so it is with parametric architecture, it is a dressed up elephant. Can I have a photo with the elephant, make picture please! But actually when an elephant starts running or does something, you know, it can kill you! Especially when it is running and you are in the way of the elephant, you get killed, completely smashed, like a pumkin at this time (november you know). And here is art and architecture.: You got them provoked, you got an elephant on the run. So it is better to be an elephants trainer than abutterfly collector, so is it with parametric architecture.

Ich denke, irgendwie verwechselt man da ein mögliches Werkzeug, eine Methode mit der Illusion eines sich selbst generierenden Systems. Am Anfang steht immer die Idee, das Wissen, Talent und Intuition.
Die digitalen Mittel sind immer bloss Werkzeuge, genau wie alle anderen zur Verfügung stehenden Mittel.

Ja!!! Auch Renderer und Photoshop Sind bloss Werkzeuge die wir anew den zum erzeugen Von Bildern, die WIR kreieren. Klar ist unser Hirn das ultimative parametrische Werkzeug. :-)

"You emphasize that art has an important role in the vision of human becoming, why & how?"
Jason Silva: "I read an article recently that says that science is now giving us much greater art than the art world. How could a painting ever compete with the images from the Hubble space telescope. And I don't know if I disagreed with that article. I think that the art world more than anything now should be taking the rich source material that science is giving it and that they should use that as the ingredients for their art. And whether that be electron microscope images of atoms and showing the patterns of atoms and showing maybe how the scans that we're doing of the brain that are showing the connection between neurons and the brain and drawing up these elaborate-, blowing up these pictures where they show that the neurons and the brain look exactly like computer models of the Internet or how they look just like the dark matter in the universe and showing the patterns that connect. And I think showing the artistry and the beauty behind technology and behind nature I think is a new art form, because I think that even in my talk on big data I was saying: The more we can measure, the more we can quantify, the more we can take pictures of, the more we can understand with our science, the more we can then visualize and illustrate and it becomes art."
