Description:
The metaphore of the mind’s egg refers to some of the highly estimated potentialities of the human mind that we know as creativity, innovation, and originality. Just like an egg contains the genetic material and nutrients necessary for the growth of a new organism, the mind’s egg contains the ideas and fundamentals, knowledge and experiences that may give birth to inventions, new insights or new art forms.
I had these ideas in mind when I began working on this video. I started with a 3D animated egg and then continued with an animated chalk drawing on a blackboard. The drawn figures seem to come out of the egg, but at the same time they nest the egg in a protected environment. When the drawing is completed, the egg and the figures undergo a transformation. The result is a dynamic digital microcosmos.
To add a commentary on this evolution I consulted an artificial intelligence nonetheless capable of expressing ideas and thoughts. I prompted ChatGPT to write a short poem about The Mind’s Egg. After several unsuccessful attempts, it produced the following poem:
Nest the mind
Mind the nest
Where thoughts take flight
And dreams can rest.
I thought the verses were appropriate to end the video with.
