Exploring the Joys of Creativity and Process: Experimenting with Literary Analyses and Artistic EndeavorsIn this episode, the hosts celebrate the beginning of the new year and the launch of their show's 6th season. One exciting topic discussed is Christopher Alexander’s 'pattern language.' The concept focuses on the relationship between elements at varying scales, whether from macro to micro, to design cities or building elements. The host shares his experiment with software called 'Obsidian' to create a network of patterns analogous to the pattern language. Meanwhile, the other host demonstrates his reinterpretation of process through artwork, showcasing a step-by-step creation of a sketch he created using different mediums. They also touch on a nostalgic favorite - Mark Kistler’s 'Secret City' and the half-hour creative spur it offers, inspiring people to draw and cultivate imagination.00:00 Introduction and New Year Wishes00:55 Discussing the New Year and Season02:05 Reflecting on the Past Year07:20 Exploring the Concept of a Pattern Language11:11 Using Obsidian for Note Taking20:42 Reflecting on the Process of Drawing29:57 Closing Thoughts and Future PlansSend Feedback :) Support the showBuy some Coffee!
