Project: Got Pageviews?

=AshHavynn:iconAshHavynn: reports, 15h 49m ago
Not that this is necessarily all about pageviews, but getting out there and representing yourself. The idea is to get as many subscribers as possible to display a gallery of artist-made stamps that best represent those artists, as a way to support and showcase our up-and-coming deviants, even if they themselves don't have a subscription.
You can participate in 2 ways: Make a stamp supporting yourself to add to the archive, add the archive to your header/footer to get the word out, or both!

Imagination

=roovel:iconroovel: reports, November 25, 2007
:postit: Criticism

The imagination is the spur of delights ... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?
Marquis de Sade (1740–1814)



Creativity or Imagination ?

Creativity is the ability to think up and design new inventions, produce works of art, solve problems in new ways, or develop an idea based on an original, novel, or unconventional approach. Creativity needs imagination to fullfill it's own will, then the ability to confront and deal with reality by using the creative power of the mind & even an unrealistic idea, notion, or approach which is called "imagination".


All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?
Friedrich Nietzsche


What Is Imagination For? Why "imagination is more important than knowledge?" as Einstein confirmed ?

Only the impossible is truly absurd and it still seems absurd to us, but it is not absurd to many other people, we probably can't imagine an escape from reality.

if there is no reality, is there an escape?




:postit: Basics & Condition

Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.

For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Friederich Nietzsche



Intoxication of the senses ? the thoughts ? or simply of what we do consider as a Reality ?

Art & Imagination, a part of the Reality or maybe the truth ?


The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.

The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe




:postit: Facts

They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon


The world exists for us only when the senses and mind are directed towards it, and cease to exist for us the moment we silence the senses and mind.

The world we experience and the life we live, are the reflections of our thoughts. The mind creates a world of illusion. By changing our thoughts, we change the illusion and experience a different reality.

If our imagination has to go through the straitjacket of our memory, what is imagination for? Memory is limited. It's finite; it deals with the past. Imagination is infinite; it deals with the present and the future, with potentiality, with vision, mission and goals, with anything that is not now but can be.


I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
Pablo Picasso

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
Francis Bacon



Creative Imagination is the Mother of all Art.

You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
Mark Twain

but let's get back on track.. our eyes..:crazy:





:postit: Features

Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe









A picture is a poem without words.
Horace




:postit: Summary

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo

Beyond good & evil, imagination is always creative even if considered as destructive; in its paradox, it's a state of our mind, a constructive "logic".

The subject in his imagination is the mastermind of all his thoughts. Creative Imagination is a chain reaction to infinite discoveries..
