{"product_id":"9781547251346","title":"Conversion Devices: Turning Ideas Into Forms (On The Ascent Of Art)","description":"All art, in fact, any freestanding object (including music) that is intentionally crafted, originates as a thinking process. This means it is very unlikely to manifest as an unique imaginary and retrievable snap-shot. It is a complex process and ultimately an obvious gross motor activity as much as it is guided by ideations. But the conception would remain in the nether regions of pre-imagination were it not stimulated by a deep brain behavioral hub that programs for self-perception. Then it is further converted by way of neuro-psychological editing habits guiding our gross sensory-motor actions into plastic form (including sound). This small book proposes that the major components of these efforts to create stable records derive from our ability to self-identify and our related compulsion to mimic. There is nothing new in this. What is a bit new is specifying those cognitive conversion devices and what types of neurons predicate them. The devices we discuss are; novelty, intention, mirroring and recursion. No part of creative endeavor resulting in a unique and stable form of expression could come to be without these devices that convert cognitive processing towards executing a thing. Imagine converting the hues of a sunset into a physical chunk of coal. It is that farfetched but we manage to do it all the time when extracting an idea, capturing it by some means and isolating it as a free standing entity. We create in order to demystify the world and lend a helpful hand to ourselves both to self-nurture and culturally nurture others simply in order to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAlexandra Kraeler Corbin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 22, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e220 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1547251344\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781547251346\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50322340708657,"sku":"9781547251346","price":13.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781547251346__38382.jpg?v=1732013557","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781547251346","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
