It will colide in three kingdoms. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface

[Tommy Lee]

WTF!? Is that a commercial,... a joke... I don't know!

Explaination please!!!!

[Kirt]

Huh? I think you need to clarify what it is you're doing here. I mean, using clip art as a concept is rather unusual for these challenges. Are you planning on drawing or painting something or is your entry going to be more of the same?

I would strongly recommend against photo manipulations for a final illustration and work on something that shows your talents.

Kirt I ment this... Looks like a commercial and has no relation to the concept..:surprised

[lavalamp]

A Kindom has been challenged between 3 worlds in a collision. The only chance to live is if the fusion of man and machine is deliberated between the 3 kingdoms. Thus making the Tidal Shrimp.. vs the worst of all enemies... The Knoblin Goblin.

and for those who do not like manipulation of pictures... please don't bother replying... I am merely presenting the idea as a whole, much like the Dada movement, in a similarity to Shopenhauer and Talsoy's idea... opposing the paradigm that Kant and Hume along with Aristole and Plato presented... does that clarify your needs?

I believe in a better society in which all will become one piece of root in a branch.

[gmask]

Here's a bit of spam poetry I received in my email. I think it will help with your concept.

OMG - this is ground breaking. I need to take a moment to remember where I was and what I was doing the day I came across this hybrid of machine and flesh. You inspire me to travel to a distant island with nothing more than a labtop and a portable generator so that I may work without distractions. I don't know how long I will be on this island for but I will not return until the day has come that I can hold a candle to your artistic prowess.

please do not reply for gods have no need for lesser beings such as I

[trojan_goat]

this is unbelievable - can we please see some wires?

[KFrigault]

the anticipation is building....

[Proficuus]

um....good luck with that!

Here's some Wireframes... I will use this detail on the Tidal Shrimp and Bionic Face

Here's mo e inspiration for you.

[peachstapler]

This is the most brilliant, hilarious entry I have seen. I am voting for you.

[lavalamp]

Hey man... guys... please take this seriously.

I'm trying to go places... I'm already old.. and I studied history. I don't see why someone is posting some completely irrelevant posts in my thread. It's rude and mean. Please stop.. I'm just trying to show an idea.. where's the respect in that?

I don't judge you... so please I ask you not to judge me.

[gmask]

Yeah I think this is great.. I was just trying to give you some keywords to work with and having an interest in Dadaism myself I thought you'd appreciate my dadaist spam poems... guess not ;-)

I really like the brainwhalemechanical arm thingy.. I am confused by the orangutan picture.. is your plan to have a menagerie of altered animals?

[lavalamp]

I thought you were making fun of me... but you seemed like you weren't respecting my work as an artist... Are you familiar with the Work of Hugh Ball... He's a Great part in the whole Hobby-Horse Movement.. He greatly inspired my work.... My theme of my work is "Fear beyond the Uprising"... do you see a Connection?

I get insecure for more the pain, I'm so ashamed. Words can't bring me down.... I think Therefore I am... I hope you get inspired by the whole Dada Movement during the first world war. My father always told me it will bring you great successes, that is why I believe I will win this contest.

[DaVee]

Hi lavalamp,

Sure you have good ecologicals reasons to post that, but i think it's not the objective of this challenge, or develop your idea and make a real concept in relation with.
It could be a really pertinent image.

:)

You mean Hugo Ball.. actually the first image reminds me more of Magritte.

So is the animal kingdom uprising against mankind?

[lavalamp]

The Radical Dadaist, he was overlooked because his artwork was looked down on, it showed images of violent creatures combined with the old time weapons such as the rifle.... the other founders didn't take him seriously... His name happened to be close to similar with Hugo.. but I was speaking of Hugh Ball. It was just a odd how the two completely seperate people would have the same initials and same name.

[gmask]

Huh.. didn't realise that ..... So is the animal kingdom uprising against mankind?

[Kirt]

Do you have a URL for some of Hugh Ball's work? Or can you post one of his images?

I can't find much about Hugh Ball but here's a link with a collage

http://www.paraethos.com/library/flight.htm

[Kirt]

Thanks gmask, but that's Hugo and not Hugh.

[gmask]

Arghhh!!.

I imagine that the collages might loosk a little bit like Hoch's but more gruesome http://www.msubillings.edu/art/Dada.htm

[lavalamp]

Hugh Ball DID write one book.. after he was overlooked, he fought to try exposing himself one more time through a book, but again, he failed. No one believed him and most of the copies of his book was burn, people claimed it was mis-representing the whole Dada Belief.. which did not make much sense to him at the time, but the people followed the mainstream movement.

He wrote, Machine Prison. It was just theories and beliefs he often wrote in his diary. For anyone who thinks they will find his article online, please tell me... But I've searched for his Biography or anything about Hugh Ball the Radical Dadaist, and found nothing. The only copy I found was in the UVSC.

I will try to find a scanner to show you his work asap.

[gmask]

Okay yes please post something of his. Is your peice to be an omage to Hugh Ball?

Could you give synopsis in plain english of what you want to say about man and machine?

EDIT> I think Hugh Ball managed to get his name in history ..many artist go unappreciate din their own time. It seems to me that one of the aspects of Dadism at the time was to annoy and irritate people.. being shunned by other Dadaists in a way could be intepreted as a success.. if he could annoy a dadaist then perhaps he was onto something.

why not ...........

..didn't Huge Ball get arrested when he tried exposing himself
hahahahahahah;) :thumbsup:

[lavalamp]

No one knows what happened to Hugh.... some people say that he was shot to death in France, and some people say he's still alive. But the truth is that no one really knows.

[trojan_goat]

I think I read an article somewhere that mentioned Ball being placed in a mental institution - Do you know anything about this Lavalamp?

[peachstapler]

I want to see more.
