Week 20 Addendum

Just felt like addinga bit more after being told the first one was pretty negative.
Of course there are so many different ways that creativity can be shown.
Damien Hurst managed to cut a cown and its calf in half and call it art. Nothing like that has ever been done before. Its really unusual that seeing the insides of a cow is acceptable in the form of art and can even become the competition winner. I personally don't see how it is arty but somewhere along the way someone decided to produce sculptures instead of paintings and after that all kinds of other things that have made art alot more than images.
Along the course of time so many things have come about and it is all through creativity. We wouldn't even have music if a person didnt believe making noise could have a purpose or produce something pleasant to the ears. Hell, we wouldnt have nearly anything we have today if nobody had used thought to adapt to surroundings or to better themselves.

Same applies to gaming. There are clever minds who want to up the power of consoles in order to produce games that look more realistic or even more surreal. Its a wonder that we even have consoles at all even more surprising we have games that have progressed up to almost realistic standards. As I mentioned before there will be a point when games aren't really games anymore. Besides, having realistic games sort of defeats the point of games in the first place, right? The only realistic game I own is Need for Speed: Underground 2 and that was bought for my sister. I play the games for the escapism. To experience something that somebody else has imagined. All those storylines have been a fragment of a humans mind.

Looking arround, someone has harnessed electricity so that we can view moving pictures on a piece of glass. A box in the corner is able to give me heat at the flick of a switch. I'm even writing this blog in a language you can understand because language has been developed and words were crafted and given purpose to define things and name things.

I suppose that in the more positive side of creativity, though a bit vague, nothing apart from the sky and the grass and soil and water has just happened. Anything you see is because someone created it, refined it and gave it to us. So as I said before, we can all be creative, as much as anyone weve heard before if we give ourselves the time to.
