What Zimu shared this time is an interesting book, which reminds me of me who used to wander the streets. There are always unexpected discoveries on the road, adding a little interest to ordinary days. Through this introduction to road observation, let us learn to discover everything around us and get the information behind it.
Let's be more observers on the road, make life like an adventure, keep curious about the world, and think about describing the world in our own way. If aliens landed on the earth, they would probably do these things. Let us have the artist's way of thinking, the financial manager's way of thinking, the investor's way of thinking, the business psychologist's way of thinking, the product's way of thinking, and constantly optimize the combination to meet the spark in life.
This book teaches us to learn the way of thinking of artists. In the book, three Japanese authors show that they found artistic space in the streets and saw different things in the buildings. An author has been an artist since childhood. He thinks sketch is an observation. When he was young, he worked as a billboard advertiser on the road. Afraid of boredom, he came up with a way to engage in eye movement within the allowable range. He looked at the clothes, expressions, rhythms of passers-by, decorations on street corners and roadsides, things falling on the ground, the width of the road, the inclination of telephone poles and so on. Internalize into your own artistic style.
I also like to see everything on the roadside, which is full of human flavor and makes people feel fresh.
He used the sundries he saw in front of him as "pigments" for painting, and everything in the street became a part of his creation.
Observing this huge garbage station on the road, he felt a shock. This unintentional thing, accidental thing, is full of artistic sense. Things on the road gave him great freedom. He said that in this era, immortals are hiding on the road. From the two things we did after the earthquake, we can see that one is to use local materials to settle down and the other is to live again. God may also be the general trend.
Everything on the road can be summarized by things. Things include things and things, implying time and space. Observe familiar roads, old things that disappear, and new things that appear. These all imply the changes of the times.
These two days, I walked in the street, looking at the dense high-rise buildings and lots of houses under construction, recalling the situation of this land earlier and lamenting the rapid changes of the times. I also feel that I have lacked the vision and pattern of keeping pace with the times for so many years.
Zi Mu said that Didi's customized green car in Changsha, Hunan, automatically opens the door and has a spacious and beautiful space. Currently designed specifically for Didi. This car can adjust the lighting, which makes people sit comfortably, and the driver is also full-time. We can park this car on the side of the road.
It represents that new energy is the future trend. This is the country's test of Didi, which shows the country's firm concept of new energy. Observing from the street, we can see the information of the changing times.
What is the attraction of street observation to the author? Maybe it's that garbage, garbage. He said that I use scrap iron, kettles and other daily necessities to create, which is the so-called "waste art". I have always painted with paints and canvases that I can prepare, but gradually, it seems that everything around me can become matter, and everything is the same. It looks so fresh that even the ashtray can be put upside down.
Really, everything in life can be used by you. Fear, pain, etc.
In the garbage sorting field, the author feels zero and there is no separation. The original standards have disappeared. I admire this state and feel that we are integrated with nature.
Walking in the street, he found that the street had become a stage, and he could create at will. Fire hydrants and manhole covers have become works of art. ..
He takes pleasure in looking for different places by looking at things aimlessly on the road. Fun is an important motive. If you are bent on getting everyone's approval, it will become boring to do it.
Life needs pure fun, not all the practical things in one day. We can spend part of our spare time walking, climbing mountains, drinking tea and sunbathing. Let yourself relax.
The starting point of human behavior is too serious, so we want to have some fun. If life is all pragmatism, it will be too boring.
When observing on the road, we will pay special attention to what can't be our own. This is the most interesting point. Perhaps this angle is closer to God and slightly out of the realm of mortals. Become a little different from ordinary people. As far as I am concerned, I am probably a little closer to God and get rid of the burden of being a man. It's like aliens coming to earth. Let you become more like a child, want to be an observer, can you look at everything again with a child's eyes.
What are the correct ways to become an observer on the road?
The author said that he followed a dog at first, but he didn't expect to bring it to a whole new world. He will be as obsessed with the nuances of the road as a dog.
Haha, we can follow the pace of a gust of wind, a cat, or a handsome guy and a beautiful woman and walk around to see what's different.
To observe the manhole cover in the city, there are very complicated lines buried underground. All kinds of manhole covers, gas covers, sewer covers, electric manhole covers, round and square ones all mean a completely different world behind them.
The author will bring a camera, a map, a notebook, stationery, a brush, a rag, a tape measure, embossed paper, a pencil, a stopwatch, biscuits, candy, magnets, a calculator, a telescope, a tape recorder and so on.
It is amazing that there are such meticulous people in the world who look at everything in front of them. I saw the artist's love.
Walking in the street is the best source of information. Walking on the street in person will get the most direct source of information. In addition, you can get some information by taking a taxi and talking to the driver.
We can see everything on the road, observe more and get information. When walking, constantly change your horizons and find something that makes you happy and interesting on the way. Become an observer on the road.
