violence of many

prominence sunset。It's like the end of the world (2021/06/21)

There is a judging process for art exhibitions.。According to the “common sense” of the world (Japan?)、It seems that many artists are "insane" people.、I'm a bit reserved and people say I'm a "weird person"。if、If such common sense is correct、Works selected by such people、It's funny to see people with common sense nodding their heads in agreement.。
In the past, there were even cases where there were no artists at all to judge large-scale art exhibitions.。Aren't you showing favoritism to an artist you know?、I think it's because they don't want the public to think that they're doing something wrong (though I don't know why they think it's only true for artists).、novelist、critic、museum director or curator、Sometimes politicians join in。
Although the examination results (text) are plausible,、what are you looking at、I can't trust you easily。Of course, I'm not saying it's absurd to say that novelists and politicians can't understand pictures.、It's no use protesting against it。This is because the opinion of an insane artist cannot become the majority.。

Is the majority always right?、If you ask me, many people will say that's not the case.。But、followed by “but”。"but、Isn't that true in most cases? ”。in this case、The words "correct" and "common sense" are very close together.、I think。
Common sense can be insane depending on the time and place.。Until relatively recently, urinating standing on the roadside was "common sense" in Japan.。According to books, this was true even for adult women in the Edo period.。Watching historical dramas、There are often many bamboo sticks leaning against the walls of houses.。そこにできる三角形の空間が一種の臨時トイレとして利用されていたらしい小さなノズルで肛門まで自動的に洗うようになったこの国で、is。
 立小便が常識だったからそれを禁止する法律や教育で「正しさ」を「多数にする」ことが必要になったのだった

多数派工作とは自分(たち)の考えが正しいことを数で示そうとして賛成してくれるよう他人に働きかけることわたしたちは小学生の頃から例えば学級会などでも多数決でいろんなことを決めてきた多数派の意見が採用されるわけだから考えがある人はそれを論じて他人を説得し自分の意見アイデアに賛成してもらうつまり多数派を形成しようとするわけだあるいはその意見に与することで多数派の傘の下に入ろうとするそれをどこかで民主主義という語に半分くらいすり替えられて教わってきたのだが実は「数は力」という「実力行使の別の顔」の使い方を繰り返し学習してきたのだった

 「でも多くの場合正しいんじゃない?」とやっぱりわたしも思いそれに従ってきた。but、最近は「多数」とか「常識」ということを脅威に感じるようになってきた
 芸術の世界では「個」以外に存在の価値はない(そもそも芸術家と自認する画家などいないのだが)。100人の画家がいてもみんな同じなどと考えている画家はいない。that's why、「多数という実力行使」=暴力にはまったく無力であるそのことはコロナ禍にあって際立ってきたがことの本質はコロナがあろうとなかろうと「多数が正しい」と信じる一種のカルト宗教が世間を支配していることに気がつかないか気づかないふりをして多数派でいようとしている人々が圧倒的多数だという現実である

Thoughts from one day's CG diary

2005Diary of December 31st

About 20 years ago, CG picture diaries looked like this (copied from data)。Before that, my picture diary was drawn in a sketchbook.)。Up until then, I was a lazy writer when it came to writing diaries.、Until my son was able to write his own diary.、It was a picture diary that I, as a parent, started to write down.。
It was a quick way to show it to the person who couldn't read yet, but it was a quick way to show it every morning.、When I tried it, I realized that there was no extra pressure on myself to create a "diary" where I didn't write about myself.、A homepage and picture diary with him as the main character、From just before he entered kindergarten until he graduated from junior high school、I was able to keep it interesting beyond my expectations.。
An artist friend of mine、I have an administrative contact book for my son's kindergarten.、Only one book in the world、Have fun、interesting、I was shown how it had been dramatically re-created as a precious record of growth.、It all started when I received a lot of inspiration.。

My son is ``born?'' good at computers.、When he was an older child in kindergarten、It is true that he was already my "computer teacher".。Due to the need to input Roman characters、I was the one who taught him the alphabet, ``Aiueo''、From there, he searched the internet on his own.、I absorbed more and more necessary knowledge.。

“Press any key” When the words appear on the computer screen、As a kindergartener, he immediately said, ``This means press a certain key,'' and I listened again.。Computers at that time were Windows. 3.0 mosquito 3.1 It should was。windows exploded 95 3 or 4 years ago。Even though I don't even know a single English word yet.、I can already understand the meaning of many English sentences just by feeling.、What I was using was、I think it's amazing even now that I think about it。
but、In fact, there are probably many parents who have had similar experiences.。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、In fact, I think most parents are like that.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Children's abilities are extraordinary。They're like human-sized IPS cells.。You can be anything、Never over。Even on our parents' side、I'm sure it was like that when I was a child.。
-but、Why was this ability not developed? One of the reasons is the parents' responsibility.。The other thing is society's responsibility.、It is meaningless to consider these two separately.。In other words,、This means that it is the social environment, including parents, that deprives children of their abilities.。
however、It's not just about the immediate environment,、history、From things that include a time axis such as folklore、Humanistic environmental axis such as ideology and education、A huge space that includes all the spatial axes such as the natural environment in which you were born and raised.、it's mighty。I wrote "parental responsibility"、While struggling within such a huge thing, we can change the environment just a little.、This is too difficult for the parents individually.。

That's why、“It can’t be helped” is not enough.。including those of us who are already elderly.、Because the future of all people's ability to become anything depends on it.、It is true that there is no other way but to change things little by little.。
Although I am close to powerless, I believe that I am not zero.、Taking an ant's step towards a distance that seems infinite。
The fact that the space probe "Hayabusa" spent more than six years traveling back and forth to the asteroid "Ryugu" located 150 million km away touched many people.。Hayabusa is already heading toward a new asteroid for the next decade。If you accidentally、We may no longer be in this world before Hayabusa changes it to Earth again.、It is also true that people change things little by little.。The road to Rome begins with a single step。Rome is closer than Ryugu。

sketch party

coconut、nautilus、Water pitcher, etc. (sketch from around 2010/pencil、watercolor)

The day before yesterday (6/15)、I went out to sketch for the first time in a while.。Lately I've only been drawing using my tablet.、I was worried that my hands wouldn't move, but my fears were unfounded.。Landscape sketching is fun。It's fun just to look around and walk around、There are also souvenirs that you can keep with your sketches.。It's good to have friends。

Previously, it was a hassle to go sketching with a large group of people.。Once I started sketching, I had to write at least a sketchbook (mostly 17 pages these days).。As I continued to sketch, I started to find a rhythm.、The speed is rapidly increasing、become sharper、Your perspective will also become sharper.。that's why、Don't draw lazily。Repeating the process of moving immediately after drawing、I think this is a key to improving.。You can't keep your own pace when there are many people.。

But、These days, it's not a bad idea to go sketching with friends you know well.、I started to think that。The level of students in the classroom has increased、Maybe it's because I've managed to match my pace (I've also become a lot more patient).、I think a big reason is that my interest has shifted between sketches and the people who draw them.。

"Sketch and、Between the people who draw it.”。I feel like "humanity" is a bit of an exaggeration.、Well, I guess "becoming a person" is close to that.。A calm person does not necessarily draw relaxed pictures.。Talkative people don't necessarily draw talkative sketches.。Even a bad drawing has an unexpectedly deep meaning.、Even in a picture with crazy perspective, the person's personality may shine brightly.。While making small talk, look at the person's drawing style.、see sketch。That way、I also sketch people, so to speak.。That too、Maybe rather than、Maybe I'm starting to find it more interesting that way.。
