guys...watch this..i miss playing this..hehehe..that was my sports during high school..its kinda cool...but not when ur the one getting hit..huhu

Check this out,go to google n type in 'fantastic contraption' its an online game similiar to our assignment...its so cool..please try this up....see what level u r stuck in....guys n gurls,challange ur creative thingking skills

His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering. In a BMW television commercial, He says "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds." He is dedicated to creating artificial life through the use of genetic algorithms.

First of all everyone will wonder who the heck is the genius who built the weird looking awesomely amazing moving sculpture.

I present you Theo jansen .
Yep. he's the dude behind of me. I'm an inch away from him~ weeee~ XD

Revealing a little bit of his life.
Born in March 14, 1948, in The Hague, Netherlands
Theo Jansen began his artistic career in the 70s as a painter.
In the 80s, Jansen began to create algorithm programs of artificial life simulation.
he's a Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor .
his series of kinetic sculptures "Strandbeest," a project which has brought him international recognition. received the special jury prize in Ars Electronica 2005.

So what does Theo Jansen do during his free time?
Builds large works which resemble skeletons of animals and are able to walk using the wind on the beaches of the Netherlands.
As seen in this picture , this weird looking creature is roaming around the beach . Creepy isn't it. =)
Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature .


Yep. Plastic yellow tubes . He's insane.

This is a picture of his work place where all the really huge beast are created!

Theo Jansen : I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don’t have to eat. Over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storms and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.
Chongyan : You're crazy . XD

A video clip of Theo Jansen at the Creativity World Forum 2008, Presenting Strandbeest: Making New Life

The Strandbeest project originated from a computer program he wrote over 18 years ago where multi-legged animals raced each other in a survival-of-the-fittest competition.check the link out. it's the game he created.

So why does all this creatures have legs but not wheels?

Legs prove to be more efficient on sand than wheels. Wheels have to work their way through the sand and shift relatively more of it as a result. Try pulling a cart through loose sand and it's hard work. The advantage of wheels, however, is that they don't lurch; their axle is at a constant height, which saves energy. But the legs of the strandbeest have this same advantage; they don't lurch either. The upper and lower leg parts move relative to one another in such a way that the hip joint (at the juncture with the upper leg) remains at a constant height, just as with the axle of a wheel. But they don't have the wheel's disadvantages; they don't need to touch every inch of the ground along the way, as a wheel has to. Legs can leave out patches of ground by stepping over them.
Skip all the crap .In conclusion legs work better than wheels on sandy ground. XD

How does this sculpture work or move? It's uses Klann Linkage system to function .
The Klann linkage is a planar mechanism designed to simulate the gait of legged animal and function as a wheel replacement. The linkage consists of the frame, a crank, two grounded rockers, and two couplers all connected by pivot joints.The proportions of each of the links in the mechanism are defined to optimize the linearity of the foot for one-half of the rotation of the crank. The remaining rotation of the crank allows the foot to be raised to a predetermined height before returning to the starting position and repeating the cycle. Two of these linkages coupled together at the crank and one-half cycle out of phase with each other will allow the frame of a vehicle to travel parallel to the ground.The Klann linkage provides many of the benefits of more advanced walking vehicles without some of their limitations. It can step over curbs, climb stairs, or travel into areas that are currently not accessible with wheels but does not require microprocessor control or multitudes of actuator mechanisms. It fits into the technological space between these walking devices and axle-driven wheels

Too much words... Confusing right. =)
Let me shuff in more pictures. XD

Look at the poor him. awwww. all his hardwork and finally creating his beast. XD

From his laboratory in Ypenburg, Jansen studies the history of biological evolution to provide his new generation of creatures with greater and greater capacities.

His dream is that one day they will learn how to evolve without his intervention and continue their lives as any other organism, subject to cycles of nature.

In the future, the Dutch artist expects his creations to become more and more anatomically sophisticated: they will develop muscles, a nervous system, and some kind of brain allowing them to take complex decisions.

he hopes his beach creatures won't need him to keep on evolving. Entire herds on the beach will compete for being the fastest and more stable, and will transmit their DNA autonomously to following generations, already completely incorporated in their ecosystem.

There's actually a short documentary by Alexander Schlichter about him.
It's still not done yet but
The video shown below is the beginning of His documentary "Strandbeesten"

For this film , Alexander accompanied Theo for five years and the result is a 32 minutes documentary. It will be shown at CAMERIMAGE, International Filmfestival in Lodz, Poland in a Documentary Competition .

DREAM.

Technically,you`re not considered a humanoid if you don`t dream.I mean,who doesn`t dream??Only freaks dont dream.Today,I dr.Kieran Idris would like t share with humanity my unproved theory of DREAM CONNECTION.

WHAT IS DREAM CONNECTION?

Okay,i know i suck at editing photos but this is a simplified version of what I mean by DREAM CONNECTION.

This is a simple procedure where you and your preferred dream mate syncronize your sleeping times and connect in dreams.here are a few simple steps.

1.you need to think really hard(image of your dream mate)

2.you need to say his/her name a few times.

3.Tell your brain. ` i want to meet him/her in my dreams tonight`

4.The both of you have to sleep at the EXACT SAME TIME!

Of course this is relatively impossible for two human beings to sync their sleeping moment.Thus,this is why my theory remains unproven D:
but who knows??you might be able to do it.

Well thats all for today.I am Dr.Kieran Idris broadcasting live from creativityeffects.blogspot.com.Have a nice day and to all you people going home for Chinese New Year.DRIVE SAFE.
Goodnight.

arsenal is my favourite football club.to me its better than Manchester United or Chelsea...they play great football...therefore we need to support arsenal..btw Kieran looks like Nasri

Falling Water.

Yeah,this is a very nice building by the late Frank Lloyd Wright.
I am proud that all of my creative group members including me,managed to finish their painting assignments in time and the outcome of such extraordinary work was presented.
Im sure there will be more to come.
k GoodNIGHT.
ps.Happy Chinese New Year.

Heeeeey i know my post is soo late but i had many things to do so i didn't have enough time to post . hope all of you guys are fine :D

love ya all

Wooohoooo. Tonight's gonna be a good night. =))
Last Friday , The super awesome Mustafa shuff all the good iraqqqyyy food into our stomach. Yep. He brought us to some hidden place in KL which i didn't even know it existed and the food was yummy.!

Presenting the super crazy ass delicious iraqy food.XD

So damn tempting right. Just feel like inserting my hand into the computer screen and grab some of the food. I think i can drool saliva and flood my whole house just by staring at the picture. Yum.

Here's some of the picture through out the whole night. Thanks to our photographer SUNNY!! XD
Oh and did i mention how mustafa, samuel and jeremy got high just by shisha-ing. hahaa They were super cute and hilarious! XD

Overall = F-ing amazing night.

End of post. =)

Why is It the Present When we Think of The Past And Rely on The Future?

So what is CREATIVITY?


Did the elements of the past affect the creativity of man.Did it awaken the idea of Architecture?The idea of construction?
Earth,Water,Fire and Air.Look around and think for yourself.Acknowledge the style and try to relate it to nature and from that,dare thyself to go even further.Does this define creativity?It has no definite meaning,it is only how you perceive it to be.Therefore creativity has no limitations and this is why architecture is and will exist till the day this world comes to total chaos and destruction.

How do you see this world,
It is where the hearts are cold,
and kindness and ethics have gone old,
we witness rage and anger unfold,
Thus the fate of the world is fortold.
(SORRY,BEING RANDOM)


LET`S SEE HOW YOU THINK.


What do you think of when you see this?do u see death?failure?
OR do you see...

AN IDEA.and from an idea comes....


A burst of CREATIVITY.

Ah it all depends on how you live your life.This is just my intro to this blog.more to come.
Have a nice day.Goodmorning,goodafternoon and goodnight.

hey..thayjis here...this my first time blogging sorry if i post out lame things..but to me this is kinda cool...here we have friends enjoying during favourite subject that is creative thinking skills....we r also planning to put up a band of our own...every friday we would wanna bring out guitar n just play n sing along any songs...everyone is welcome to join us... :)

A Picture of us during lecturer class. Can't remember when was it but i love this pic. Thanks to Sunny's Dslr.! XD

First of all. Just want to wish everyone happy February. It's going to be a Damn Stressfull month as all the projects and assignments are Pouring in! =(

About today construction class. Our lecturer Li show us a short video clip of the truth of being an architect.



After watching it. It's really creepy how there's only a small part of Design being an architect. Now i'm scared of this whole architecture thingy. Now i know why the drop out rate for this course is quite high. =) But.. Oh well , I'm born to be an architect! i'll be an awesome architect next time . I know!! XD haha.

One of my friend's uncle , he's an architect. and I question him about his job . He say that being an architect is super stressful in a way during the construction process. But when the building is built and completed based on your design , that kind of satisfaction you'll have is nothing compared to having sex ! No word can describe it ! =)) . So , guys .. architect! a good way to go! XD
