Batik Lasem Art, Selling batik tulis Lasem : Uniqueness Batik

Batik is a textile craft is familiar to Indonesian people, often becomes a symbol of the Indonesian people. Batik is known closely related to ethnic Javanese culture in Indonesia, even since the era of Raden Wijaya (1294-1309) at the time of the Majapahit kingdom. However, different materials basically have the style batik clothing as well as from outside Java, for example in several places in Sumatra, such as Jambi even some places in Kalimantan and Sulawesi. Batik motifs used ranging from decorations, fabric glove, cap, shirt, even the hood and many more. But a very interesting thing with the batik is that it is a simple concept that is not even from the etymology. Batik may represent a unique ornamentation and complex in style and colors and geometric shapes of the display. But most important is that batik can also represent the process of making patterns and ornamentation shown in it.

The process of batik or in verbia also referred to as "mbatik", it is not as simple as describing a painting, for example. Multiperspective that emanated from the ornamentation is the result of the process and the stages of pseudo-algorithmic very interesting. Based on the publication "Batik: The Impact of Time and Environment" by H. Santosa Doellah published by Danar Hadi, there are at least three stages in the process of batik ornamentation, namely:

1. "Klowongan", which is a depiction of the process and the formation of the basic elements of batik design in general.

2. "Isen, Isen", ie the process of filling the parts of the ornament of a specified pattern of Isen. There are several patterns that are traditionally used as a motive cecek, sawut, cecek sawut, melik scales, and so on.

3. Harmony ornamentation, the placement of various backgrounds from the overall design that shows the general harmonization. The pattern is usually used ukel pattern, galar, gringsing, or some settings that indicate certain modifications of the pattern of Isen, for example sekar sedhah, rembyang, sekar boyfriend, and so on

Fractal: Batik Geometry

The amazing thing is that the batik batik is a process that is born of the cognitive system and the depiction of nature and environment. Batik is created through a mapping between objects outside the batik and the articulation of human cognition and psychomotoric aspects as stipulated in the craft of batik.

Although batik could not be seen by removing the context and the process of batik making, pattern and ornamentation which was contained in batik proved to have a level of complexity is very interesting.

Will outlook geometric shapes tend to our current associated with the geometry inherited from the Aristotelian perspective western grip, which looked at geometric dimensions as the original numbers. Dimension 1 as a line, as a 2 dimensional flat wake, the wake of three-dimensional space, and so on. But the world was not as simple as that. Long journey of history of science has brought us to the reality of science as we saw today. In the course of philosophy of science, science is always positive about the fact, that science is not limited to, reductionism is a thing that will ultimately lead to explanations of the major and fundamental, and so on.
Strange happenings we think of as randomized form. Science has been very confident, until the end of meta-mathematics began to question the arithmetic (by the mathematician Kurt Godel, 1931), the philosophy began to talk about the paradox and the validity of deductions (by philosopher Bertrand Russell, 1903), sociologists began to speak about postmodernism (sociologist Jean Jaques Lyotard, 1979), a wave of art as a multi-perspective "breast"isme in fine art and art psychedelic on music, and much more on almost all lines of science and modern art, including questions about the long coastline and that the geometry started acquainted with the concept of fractal (Benoit Mandelbrot, 1982). Philosophy of science finally realize that there are problems in how we view the world. Reductionism philosophy of science into question when the general finally realized that "the whole far greater than the sum of its parts".

The world turned out to be not linear, and the science that there now needs to pay attention to this. Even philosophically, science is currently not stand alone with the tradition and the accompanying conventionalism. Interdisciplinary approach is important. The fact of how high the complexity of the universe and our social environment eventually led to bio-physics, computational chemistry, econophysic, computational sociology, cognitive science, evolutionary economics, and a series of names that describe how science should be paced on standard cross borders. In the course of the history of modern science, all the rests are elementary in the way we view the world, where classical geometry is unmistakably her a fundamentalist. History of science finally realized that fractal better and more appropriate in view of the world. Studies based fractal nature of the notice "to-not-full-ness" model of the universe, one of which will be shown with dimensions of knowledge that are not integers, but it is broken.

The fact that batik is fractal as a thing that indicates that there is wisdom hidden in the depiction of a world that does not like the Aristotelian geometry we know it. This is implicit in the works of batik. If art and culture of modern science have interacted so as we know it today, then obviously batik craft culture have interacted with the culture of people who lived in the Indonesian archipelago. If the fractal have inspired change and become a source of creativity and the progression of science in various fields in the form interdisciplinary, would not be impossible if the batik can also provide a source of inspiration and creativity means a better view of the world?

Is not impossible, the language of his people interdisciplinary Indonesia is the mutual assistance, as the geometry of the batik Indonesia. The discovery of aspects of the batik fractal (as also found in many aspects of ancient art and culture and other classics in many place when the influence of the ancient Greeks and Romans had a strong, such as China, India, Arab) gives us a warning that we need to change our perspective on values and traditions of our cultural heritage. Enjoy the same batik never enjoyed painting by perspective. Solve the problems of mono-discipline was never the same as using interdisciplinary approaches.

Fact fractality in batik, as aspects of visual culture closely with Indonesian culture and civilization became a very important thing.

mbatik: ngisen and iteration of the art computational generative

The development of modern science and technology have brought us to the generation in which we can perform simulations that mimic the process (either natural processes, physical, biological, and even the price movement and social interaction) is computational. From various scientific approaches to realize that a lot of natural and social phenomena that looks complicated, random, chaos basically comes from something that is very simple.

In arithmetic, mathematical patterns and dynamics of chaotic and non-deterministic looks can be shown to be born from what is really simple and very deterministic. This can be done because computer technology allows us to record the iterative dynamics.

What about the forms and complex patterns in nature, such as clouds, smoke, the pattern of coastline, and so that looks random and visually complex it? Computing technology, as it can be applied to see the pattern of simple arithmetic that produces chaos can also be applied to see the patterns that generate simple geometric fractal. Enterprises look at the batik fractal phenomenon has also expanded opportunities of treasure and more appreciation of batik.

Decade of the 21st century celebrating the development of computer technology very rapidly. The works of art, both look and sound began to acquire this technology to expand the coverage area and the infinity power of human imagination and creativity. One aspect is the understanding of generative art. Modern visual generative art begins with a visualization rules that are repeated (iterative) visualize a simple shape and eventually gained the patterns intricate and complex. This artistic pattern based on a process of repetition patterns and similar forms of media - a creative art that is often mentioned Dutch artist, G. Escher (1898-1972) as a pioneering in the history of modern art. Clearly, repeating patterns (read: iterative) will produce a fractal shapes as simple arithmetic repeating patterns can generate chaotic patterns.

Pigmentation shells, shell sulir patterns, complex forms of snowflakes, the growth of cancer, and even some stock price movement patterns and the economic index shows fractal patterns. By doing "imitation" of computational with various computational systems, we know how complex patterns can occur in the universe and our social environment. This kind of analysis is also known as a form of analysis based on generative science, and other aesthetic objects named birth computational generative art. In computational studies of fractal geometry and science, things like cellular automata, Mandelbrot and Julia sets, system-L, Peano curve, and so often used as a reference shape.

When batik has fraktalnya pattern can be shown, then it becomes a chance to be seen as a form of generative. Lucky, because we do have also a pseudo-algorithm knows how to make batik as we have seen before: klowongan>> Isen>> harmonization. In fact it is quite possible, some kind of fractal pattern known as "the beauty of mathematics" can also inspired batik patterns. From here, research shows that there are at least 3 types of fractal patterns that can be a form of computational batik motifs in computational generative fractal, namely:

Type 1: Fractal geometry as Batik

several types of fractal customized so that patterns can be designed as an inspiration for the construction of batik design. Customization can be done on iteratif rules, modifications to the form styling color, and so on.

Type 2: Hybrid Fractal geometry Batik

patterns of fractal patterns can be used as the primary model of basic ornamentation and decoration together with the original Isen of the basic motif batik and vice versa. This can be done by using a computational what is the traditional batik motif with the results of such adaptation of the non-batik fractal. Mode design aesthetic combines a fractal pattern in computational born and what is born of the cultural traditions of batik is widely known.

Type 3: Innovation Batik Fractal geometry

is a form of implementation of the image with a specific pattern or randomly by using the forms or teselasi iterative algorithm of filling the original ornamentation as batik or batik patterns Isen have traditionally known. This can be done with the extraction of the basic motif of batik ornamentation and the re-iteration by using the pseudo-algorithm known batik. As a demonstrative example as shown in this example. Here, two batik motifs re-computational process by providing a large design on the general pattern will be processed by computational (Isen and harmonization) that produces a fractal nature of the motives resulting in a completely new with respect to patterns and principles mbatik process. Users can customize with specific coloring

The third pattern is a form of generative implementation of awareness of how batik fractal properties and support the broadening of cultural appreciation for Indonesian textiles is a non-woven.

Notes

Batik culture derived from cognitive understanding embodied in the work of visual aesthetics a little more give an implicit description of how the Indonesian people view themselves, their natural and social environment. Batik patterns are revealed to be a fractal is a fact that there are alternative perspectives that exist among societies and civilizations that Indonesia is relatively unique to the modern outlook of the public. This uniqueness is an important thing to remember is the fractal geometry of the current understanding and awareness of the complexity of the system and deal with them more wisely.

Batik as an aesthetic object has patterned order pseudo-algorithmic description that can be treated as a form of generative art that has usefulness:

- To contribute and inspire humankind civilization, especially in the field of development of generative art.

- Encourage and expand exploration and appreciation for batik as part of the Indonesian archipelago traditional art.

- Research on aspects of the batik fractal generally encourage further excavation of the cognitive aspects related to the perspective and wisdom of our previous community about nature and society - given the close connection between art and science as demonstrated in history and historical development of modern science.

Let love Indonesia!
Let's inspire the world!
