Creative Ways of Seeing Motion

A motion is a movement or a natural event that involves a change in the position or location of something. We as humans are always moving. However, living in this 21st century, we are much faster in terms of gathering information, lifestyle and our career. But when it comes to creativity, we are slow due to our fast paced life. Humans these days want things to be fast, from the things we consume such as buying our foods in fast-food joints or drinking instant drinks. We gather information from the internet or social networking sites and many other ways due to the advancement of technology. Our career can be considered as living in the rat race as we rush to work and getting assignments done by meeting deadlines. All of them are being done in a fast motion. When we are in this state, we take things for granted. We stop seeing the world as a big playground but see it as clock. We tend to stop appreciating things or even miss the opportunity of seeing an art when it happens in front of us. This is one reason why people say they have creative block. It’s not a physical block but a mentality one where we are not able to find a spark of idea even if it’s right in front of us. Creativity works when we calm ourselves and focus on the problem ahead and plan to solve it. In the middle of 90s, one of famous cake company in Russia has an inspired story. They have many complain about their packaging where since everything is automated, sometimes, some cake boxes come out without a cake. So to solve the problem, the company bought an expensive x-ray to see which box was empty. It was effective but costly as the x-ray machine consumed lots of oil. After a year, the company when bankrupt due to losses just to find an empty box. They started to look for a creative person to find a solution. One day, a young man entered the factory and told them that he can solve the problem. Since the company didn’t haven’t anything to lose, so they hired him and assigned him to the job straight ahead. Using his creativity, he solve the problem by just putting a giant fan in front of the output belt, so that whenever an empty box passes by the fan, it gets blown away and the box with the cake inside, goes straight to the packaging box. In this life, when we are faced in stress, we must try to come down because the simple solutions can solve the most complicated problem. In fact, we are all creative every day because we are constantly changing the ideas which we hold about the world about us. Creativity does not have to be about developing something new to the world, it is more to do with developing something new to ourselves. When we change ourselves, the world changes with us, both in the way that the world is affected by our changed actions and in the changed way that we experience the world. Creative thinking goes beyond solving specific problems or inventing things. Truly creative minds are always coming up with the questions too, not just the solutions. If you want to be more creative all the time, focus on three things: 1. Challenge assumptions. What if restaurants didn't have employees? Visitors pay a machine as they enter, feed themselves at a buffet, and everything is as automated as possible, so one owner-operator could run a large restaurant alone. Challenge all you assumptions for practice. Do you really have to go to work? Do swimming pools need water? Can education be a bad thing?; 2. Change perspective. A dog's thoughts about your busyness could clue you in to the unnecessary things you do. Considering dollars-per-day instead of per-hour could give you a plan to let employees go home when they finish a quota. Increased efficiency is likely, and you could adjust daily pay and quotas so both you and employees made more money. See everything from several perspectives; 3. Let ideas run wild. Does flying furniture seem silly? It could lead to the concept of a hover-lifter. Just slide the device under furniture and it lifts it with a cushion of air, making for easy moving. Try not to stifle your creativity. Just relax, let ideas come, and know that you can always discard them later.For this assignment, we are going to focus on 2 targeted audiences, the art students and the designers who are working in art industries as they are the most frequent people to have this so called creative block. We will show that art is everywhere with us, it’s just the matter of slowing down time. Using the method of time lapsing, we will show that creativity is never about time but the eye and the mind of the creator. Using the same technique, we want to show that creativity is a way for us to appreciate the world even though we sometimes tend to overlook at it.
