i am going to make a robot.

You can make robot toooooo!

In this post i'll supply all the materials u need... but don't expect it to be easy;)


1. You need to be an artist or at least want to be.

2. You have to appreciate contemporary art.

3. You HAVE TO think. A lot, all the time.

4. You also should look for alternative ways of expressing yourself, read, think about who you are, and what the world is.

5. Don't believe in anything old, but a success.

a bunch of stuff to start with:

http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/intro.asp


Everyone emerges from childhood with one of the nine types dominating their personality, with inborn temperament and other pre-natal factors being the main determinants of our type. This is one area where most all of the major Enneagram authors agree—we are born with a dominant type. Subsequently, this inborn orientation largely determines the ways in which we learn to adapt to our early childhood environment. It also seems to lead to certain unconscious orientations toward our parental figures, but why this is so, we still do not know. In any case, by the time children are four or five years old, their consciousness has developed sufficiently to have a separate sense of self. Although their identity is still very fluid, at this age children begin to establish themselves and find ways of fitting into the world on their own.

Thus, the overall orientation of our personality reflects the totality of all childhood factors (including genetics) that influenced its development.

Several more points can be made about the basic type itself.

  1. People do not change from one basic personality type to another.
  2. The descriptions of the personality types are universal and apply equally to males and females, since no type is inherently masculine or feminine.
  3. Not everything in the description of your basic type will apply to you all the time because you fluctuate constantly among the healthy, average, and unhealthy traits that make up your personality type.
  4. The Enneagram uses numbers to designate each of the types because numbers are value neutral— they imply the whole range of attitudes and behaviors of each type without specifying anything either positive or negative. Unlike the labels used in psychiatry, numbers provide an unbiased, shorthand way of indicating a lot about a person without being pejorative.
  5. The numerical ranking of the types is not significant. A larger number is no better than a smaller number; it is not better to be a Nine than a Two because nine is a bigger number.
  6. No type is inherently better or worse than any other. While all the personality types have unique assets and liabilities, some types are often more desirable than others in any given culture or group. Furthermore, for one reason or another, you may not be happy being a particular type. You may feel that your type is "handicapped" in some way. As you learn more about all the types, you will see that just as each has unique capacities, each has different limitations. If some types are more esteemed in Western society than others, it is because of the qualities that society rewards, not because of any superior value of those types. The ideal is to become your best self, not to imitate the assets of another type.

What I am interested in?

As Dale Carnegie in his book 'How to win friend and influence people' states, what every person is the most interested in is 'MYSELF'.

So,  knowing this principal factor, I'll now list other things that I am interested in:

- not what my body represents, or what I represent through my body, or if my body is me, or I am what my body is. Tratatarara: my body represents my personal history (ideology of my parents, media, friends, accidental experiences), my body is a part of time and space, is created by the environment and part of it, my body is mine, but until I realize all this influence , and until I'll exclude them is not me.

- artificiality: natural changed so its no real- no honest- no obvious- no sure. And from the other side artificial that becomes real, new, and have the same rights to exist as natural.

- what artificial means, am I artificial when I am aware of my actions, behaviour and movements?

- how do I change natural to be artificial?

- how do I create artificial that becomes natural, meaning:alive.

By the way; the art, revolution starts when u're more interested in other people then yourself- D.Carnegie

starting point

I've decided to start by looking at my previous work- research, actions, images, inspirations left for 'later'.

Music video by 

moderat-rusty nails

gave me quite a bit of inspiration. I am going to explore following features of this piece:

movement-body-sound------------surface-image-form and line;

organic+mechanical.


I've dance in a bed sheet to see what it feels like, and what can I achieve.
