A curated collection of creative things and interesting thoughts. Some of it, ours. The rest, collected carefully from the online and offline worlds. Published in public interest by Jokar. Read more about the blog here.
If you have strong opinions or curiosity around AI and have 15 minutes to spare, watch this video by BBC on AI and its impact on the world’s largest movie industry. Shekhar Kapur has some very interesting observations and inferences on the topic.
With all the focus on generative art currently, we thought we will shed light on what it has taught us until now.
A) Give up control after a certain point.
B) Don’t chase perfection down to the last detail.
C) Focus more on a different way of imagining things.
D) Allow yourself to experience the joy of randomness.
E) Open your mind to a whole new world of possibilities.
F) Learn to enjoy the process.
We have always liked tinkering with old and new tools. Exploring generative art was a given. So when it came to building our website, we thought, “Generative art instead of standard graphics. Why not!”
Here’s a sample of what we came up with. Click here to check the entire series 🙂 If you would like us to experiment with your brand communication, let us know. We’ll be happy to help.
The rest is easy. Just upload your super cool drawing.
Erase the unnecessary parts. Adjust the joints the way you like it.
Press Next. Wait for a few teeny tiny seconds.
Done, that’s it! Watch your drawing come to life 😀
Go on then, build your own special world with your awesome characters and tell you story. If you want to, but feel you can’t, let us know. We can help you make it, like how we have helped others. That’s what we do at Jokar. We bring your story to life!
There are no sweet, accidental discoveries on the internet anymore. At least not in the way it used to be before. Nowadays it’s just more of the same everywhere you see. All slaves to the same algorithms and keywords developed by a handful of monopolistic tech platforms. Just a mindless pursuit to be “visible” or rank first at some never-ending digital rat race. I miss the anticipation before logging on. I miss that tingling when I used to land somewhere unexpected. I miss the beautiful digital rabbit holes of that era. I miss the old internet.
Are we giving too much importance to this term? What if we don’t bother much with this idea of what will we be leaving behind and all that stuff? And then calculating our every move based on that image we eventually want to build for others to see. How about we keep making stuff and just move on?
And after we are long gone, there is someone who stumbles upon that stuff we made, our perspectives we put out there in the world.
And you know, they connect with it instantly. Maybe with all of it. Because all that we created and shared, it somewhat resonates with them on many levels.
Ya, it could be a whole bunch of people, or maybe just a few. What the heck, maybe it’s just that one person who really gets it.
And that person makes an attempt to contact us, only to find out that we have left this world long back.
They get to hear or read or see in bits and pieces how we strived every single day to learn something, to try something and be the best version of ourselves.
They then treasure those stories along with whatever we created.
And probably say to themselves, “I really wish I could’ve met this person.”
Who wouldn’t like that? I know I would.
So to repeat what I said at the beginning, just keep making and move on. For there is someone out there whose life you will enrich, someday.
