As many know, I started my love for gaming
I said something during a live stream session a few days ago while giving a lesson about relativity (as if I’m qualified to lecture on those matters lol) and reference points that I was quite proud of. Don’t remember exactly how it went, it was something like this:
“Life, like art, is all about relativity. Once you’ve understood the basics of how things in your life are connected, it becomes a natural process in your life.
The idea of being an artist, or making art, can be explained as a reflection of one’s understanding of the world or concepts around them. When it comes to the human body, one uses shapes and forms in relation to pre-existing elements to determine proportions and placement of everything on the body. You break these elements down by basic shapes, lines, values, and color.
This same level of thinking can be applied to everything you do. Time, for example, is relative to how long you’ve been in existence. At some point in your earlier years, waiting an hour for something felt like an eternity. In that instance, it really is a perceived to be more time than it actually, is, simply because you haven’t lived past a certain set of years. In relation to how long you’ve been alive, an hour can be 1/24th of a new born’s life. Nowadays, I blink and an hour has passed.
Space, is another concept grounded on relativity. You, in the most literal sense, are always the center of the universe, because everything is always moving in separate gravitational forces. The center of the universe is everywhere that you are, because it’s a constantly changing set of planetary positions. You matter! (science joke)
Stay vigilant my friends, as art in it’s essence, is something that happens when you take a moment to reflect on life’s mechanics and aesthetics. Pursue knowledge, growth, and happiness”
Definitely writing an article about this on https://blackoniblog.com and perhaps a video tying it into art and gaming. Too many ideas to explore, not enough time.
