Welcome to the ART of FREEDOM


Welcome to the ART of FREEDOM
You might ask, what on earth ˝The Art of Freedom˝ is? What I meant by those words is more likely is an atmosphere of art and freedom. Therefore, it is not some kind of -organized and institutionaly- events.
Art itself is a ˝domain˝ of the rightside hemisphere of our brain which produces any kind of creativities. In this kind of understanding of ˝art˝, might lead us into an assumption that everyone is actualy an artist in their own mind, field and in their lives. I once described this in one of my short writing called ˝Seniman Kehidupan˝ which means ˝The Artists of Life.˝
The next question would be, why I put the word of ˝freedom˝ beside ˝art˝ to become ˝The Art of Freedom˝? I would like to start to describe the answer, by one of my writing called ˝The Brain of a Photocopy Machine˝ (click here)
In that writing, is talking about somekind of phenomenon in Indonesia, that some of the art or creativities were being copied from someone else´s works.
Quote: Those two ´bad songs´ are not all, if I have to mention of how many sinetrons (cinetron: cinema electronic, soap opera) in some big mailing lists, are being suggested as nothing but a ´photo copy´ from many other soap operas from Korea, Japan, etc End of quote. (The Brain of a Photocopy Machine)
By those facts, leads me into a concerning question -or I might say- an assumption: Is the rightside hemisphere (that produces creativities) of those Plagiators were being captured by another nature of thinking by using their leftside hemisphere of their brains? Or is it that we -Indonesians- are short term minded, or simply a bunch of pragmatics?
Or, there is no more space for local and ordinary people to create what is really needed for their local and surrounding communities?
Why can somebody being ˝captured˝ by their own ˝leftside hemisphere of the brain˝? By this question, I hope it is clear that why I put the word of ˝freedom˝ beside the word of ˝art˝.
For years until now, I currently trying to find more answers by watching how people reacted into some of my postings, or related tophics posted by another member of those mailing lists, locally and nationally. And trying to recognize the ordinary and local people that managed to escape from this kind of ˝capturization˝ of the leftside hemisphere of their own brains.
Meanwhile, while watching those who is being ˝captured˝ by their own leftside hemisphere of their own brains, I created this blogs: Creativists.
Introduction the Term of ´Creativist´...
So far, when we heard the word of ˝creative˝ it leads our minds into some art works like paintings, scluptures, poems, cartoons, songs, musics and the artists. All the nice, beautiful things that we can apreciate with our feelings and senses.

The term of Creativist in this blog was came from two words: creative and activist.
