The iPad is a tablet computer designed and developed by Apple. It is particularly marketed for consumption of media such as books and periodicals, movies, music, and games, and for general web and e-mail access. At around 700 grams its size and weight are intermediate between most contemporary smartphones and laptop computers. Sales of the iPad tablet are strong:[13] since its release in April 2010, Apple has sold 3 million iPads.[7]

The iPad runs the same operating system as the previously introduced iPod Touch and iPhone (initially iPhone OS 3.2, with an update to iOS 4 announced for Fall 2010). Likewise, it is controlled by a multitouch display sensitive to fingertip contact with up to eleven fingers.[14] This is unlike most previous tablet computers which instead used a pressure-triggered stylus.[15][16][17] It runs iPad-specific applications as well as those written for the iPhone and iPod Touch, including e-book readers.

The iPad uses Wi-Fi or a 3G mobile data connection to browse the Internet, load and stream media, and install software.[18][19][20] A USB cable is required to sync the iPad with iTunes on a personal computer, by which the device is managed.[21] Media reaction to the device has generally been neutral or positive, though some media and users liken the device to an unfinished product due to the lack of multitasking and limitations of iPhone OS 3.2.[22][23][24]

I Love (Products) Indonesia

2010-06-18T19:44:00.000-07:00

Aku cinta…Anda cinta…buatan In..do..ne..sia….., Thus sample lyric song titled Love Made in Indonesia, which is sung with melodious voice by Sam Bimbo and had often played before the 1980s, a period with a series telecast on TVRI ACI. In this global era, amid 'clash of ideas' claims of cultural dances, songs, keris and batik by neighboring countries, we can be thankful relief that on October 2, 2009, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) United Nations (UN) will determine the cultural heritage as batiks from Indonesia. Gift certificates as an endorsement of batik Indonesian cultural representation, the trial will be conducted in UNESCO in Abu Dhabi. UNESCO recognizes the uniqueness of batik as an Indonesian cultural heritage which has a deep philosophy.

Therefore, rightly terms 'I love Indonesia' shall be supported and implemented by all components of the Indonesian nation, so that we can be more independent in all aspects of national and state life. We must respect the cultural diversity of the nation itself, not to already 'recognized' Other countries, not to perish as the next generation of less or did not know him. We are also grateful to have been given the gift of beauty of the land and its water biodiversity in our country, Indonesian.

Batik, Traditional Fabric of Indonesia...

2010-06-18T19:30:00.000-07:00

It would be impossible to visit or live in Indonesia and not be exposed to one of the country's most highly developed art forms, batik. On your first visit to a batik store or factory you will undoubtedly experience an overwhelming stimulation of the senses - due to the many colors, patterns and the actual smell of batik. Only through repeated visits and a bit of study will the types of designs and their origins become apparent.

The word batik is thought to be derived from the word 'ambatik' which translated means 'a cloth with little dots'. The suffix 'tik' means little dot, drop, point or to make dots. Batik may also originate from the Javanese word 'tritik' which describes a resist process for dying where the patterns are reserved on the textiles by tying and sewing areas prior to dying, similar to tie dye techniques. Another Javanese phase for the mystical experience of making batik is “mbatik manah” which means “drawing a batik design on the heart”.

A Brief History

Although experts disagree as to the precise origins of batik, samples of dye resistance patterns on cloth can be traced back 1,500 years ago to Egypt and the Middle East. Samples have also been found in Turkey, India, China, Japan and West Africa from past centuries. Although in these countries people were using the technique of dye resisting decoration, within the textile realm, none have developed batik to its present day art form as the highly developed intricate batik found on the island of Java in Indonesia.

Although there is mention of 'fabrics highly decorated' in Dutch transcripts from the 17th century, most scholars believe that the intricate Javanese batik designs would only have been possible after the importation of finely woven imported cloth, which was first imported to Indonesia from India around the 1800s and afterwards from Europe beginning in 1815. Textile patterns can be seen on stone statues that are carved on the walls of ancient Javanese temples such as Prambanan (AD 800), however there is no conclusive evidence that the cloth is batik. It could possibly be a pattern that was produced with weaving techniques and not dying. What is clear is that in the 19th century batik became highly developed and was well ingrained in Javanese cultural life.

Some experts feel that batik was originally reserved as an art form for Javanese royalty. Certainly it's royal nature was clear as certain patterns were reserved to be worn only by royalty from the Sultan's palace. Princesses and noble women may have provided the inspiration for the highly refined design sense evident in traditional patterns. It is highly unlikely though that they would be involved in any more than the first wax application. Most likely, the messy work of dyeing and subsequent waxings was left to court artisans who would work under their supervision.

Javanese royalty were known to be great patrons of the arts and provided the support necessary to develop many art forms, such as silver ornamentation, wayang kulit (leather puppets) and gamelan orchestras. In some cases the art forms overlap. The Javanese dalang (puppeteer) not only was responsible for the wayang puppets but was also an important source of batik patterns. Wayang puppets are usually made of goat skin, which is then perforated and painted to create the illusion of clothing on the puppet. Used puppets were often sold to eager ladies who used the puppets as guides for their batik patterns. They would blow charcoal through the holes that define the patterns of clothing on the puppets, in order to copy the intricate designs onto the cloth.

Other scholars disagree that batik was only reserved as an art form for royalty, as they also feel its use was prevalent with the rakyat, the people. It was regarded an important part of a young ladies accomplishment that she be capable of handling a canting (the pen-like instrument used to apply wax to the cloth) with a reasonable amount of skill, certainly as important as cookery and other housewifery arts to Central Javanese women.

Indonesian Culture and Art World Recognition

2010-06-18T19:22:00.000-07:00

Pleased and proud to participate, read the compass again this morning with the Art and Culture of Indonesia, which can be recognized as a world through games and music Kolintang bamboo in bulk at Maesa Stadium, Tondano, North Sulawesi on Saturday, October 31, 2009. Both the art of traditional music is now recorded in the book world record, The Guinness World Book of Records.

Minimum requirements to be recorded in book Guinness World Records (GWR) of traditional music should be played by 1,000 people, but on the show Kolintang played by 1223 people and music and even bamboo participants reached 3011 people, Although not seen directly, but can imagine if this music became so 'colossal' beauty. Delivery of a certificate by a representative of GWR, Lucia received initiators Sinigagliesi performances, Benny J. Mamoto, Director of Cultural Arts North Sulawesi, Minahasa then submitted to the Regent, Vreeke Runtu.

According to Lucia Sinigagliesi, the research team at the GWR London, England, showed: instruments, melodies and rhythms of traditional bamboo music kolintang and Indonesia does not have a match in the world. GWR therefore noted both as a traditional art form fascinating world.

Previously, on October 2, 2009, Batik Indonesia by the United Nations designated as a UNESCO World Heritage did not object that has the unique and profound philosophy. (See also: http://edukasi.kompasiana.com/2009/09/29/aku-cinta-produk-indonesia-dan-peristiwa-pemanasan-global/ ). By the date of October 2, the authors sympathize 'euphoria Batik' everywhere, because at most schools require students to wear Batik siswinya. But proud as well, we wear Batik and see Teachers and students in schools, employees of the Bank, and the other TV broadcasters who wear a lot of Batik. To be more popular in the community and not simply 'euphoria' to further the use of 'batik' uniforms and equipment should be scheduled as a time of at least 1 week at each school, and all public service spearheads both civil servants and private sector, and we could also start getting used to Batik wear not only for official purposes, but also as everyday clothes worn at least once a week. Thus Batik is also indisputable, seen as an integral part of society in Indonesia, Batik can then serve as part of the Indonesian tourism industry and used as 'souvenirs' genuine local products by foreign tourists who are visiting Indonesia.

Cultural Heritage spread in Indonesia 33 provinces, very numerous and very diverse, we have a look at traditional music instruments like: angklung, Bende, calung, Gamelan, Balinese drums etc, gongs, jidor, harp, kenong, fiddle, sasando, flute, drums and many others. In addition to batik clothes, we also have: kebaya, baju kurung songket, ikat, ulos, shirts are guy, Dayak traditional Balinese dress up with 'koteka'. Besides 'Pendet' which had 'excited' first, there are many other traditional dances such as Kecak dance, dance dishes, dance Seudati summons, meuseukat, tor-mentor, masks, tayub, puppet people, ondel-ondel, cokek, Jaipongan and forth. In the field of architecture, houses most of the traditional Indonesian art of carving and decoration are very beautiful, also has a deep philosophy in every detail of manufacture. This traditional building materials are generally made of a lightweight, compact and time-tested and sturdy and strong hold earthquake.

Should world recognition for Art and Culture of Indonesia?

Stipulation of Art and Culture of Indonesia as the world cultural heritage by the United Nations as well as recording achievements in Guinness World Records (GWR), in addition to the form of notice and knowledge to the outside world (hopefully no longer the double claim of another State), will give a very positive impact for the development of tourism industry in our country, Indonesia and the most important are as historical records of travel Cultural Arts mankind to continue to be known, demonstrated, practiced by the younger generation and hopefully not only be remembered as a 'keepsake' that in Indonesia there ever was and that's Cultural Arts as a nostalgia for the 'not passed' by the next generation.

Hopefully education institutions in Indonesia and incorporate increasingly concerned Indonesia Cultural Art in the curriculum is not just theory but practice and the initiators of such performances Indonesia Cultural Art Mr Benny J. Mamoto above, will be more and more and we are challenged to best achieve their respective field. We recommend that governments through their respective provinces periodically entered the traditional culture and art contest winners get a trophy in addition, a plaque award also get a chance to appear on stage at every entertainment attractions in an integrated manner, so that the tourism industry can be more exciting and more advanced and Indonesian Cultural Arts will be maintained, can be preserved and not forgotten by future generations.

Understanding ART in General

2010-06-15T20:32:00.000-07:00

The word "art" is a word that everyone knows is ensured, although with different levels of understanding. The legend says that the word art derived from the word "Sani", which roughly means "People Who Luhur / Sincerity is the soul ". Maybe I interpret the departure of / seniaman she will make works of art, but according to studies in europe ilimu says "ART" (artivisial) which means more or less is good / or work from an activity. But we have to question the meaning of this tidaka, because in fact we are debating the meaning kalu like this will disturb the atmosphere of art, let people choose which up to them.

Based on the research of experts declared art / work of art already exists + since 60 000 years ago. Evidence was found on cave walls in the South of France. The proof is in the form of painting in the form of incisions on the wall by using colors that depict human life primordial. Artifacts / evidence reminds us of the paintings of modern management expression. This can be seen from kebebaan change its shape. One thing distinguishing between human artwork with humans Ancient Modern is situated on the purpose of its creation. If early humans make art / culture in the mass marker is just to hook-eye Sosioreligi interests, or hominid is a figure which is still imprisoned by the forces around him. While modern man create a work of art / culture in mass markers used for describes his personal satisfaction and environmental conditions "may". In other words, modern man is a figure who wanted to find things new and have a wider horizon of thinking. During his all forms of age-old art is always marked by awareness magical; because it's so early human culture. Of life the simple worship of nature to the awareness of the existence of natural

At the beginning of art created for the common / property-bersama.karya artwork left behind in the pre-historic cave digua-never shows the identity of its maker. Similarly relics from the past such as buildings or artefacts in ancient Egyptian, Byzantine, Roman, India, or even in Indonesia itself. Kalupun yet no explanation specific artifact only explanation that states objects / buildings are in a for anyone ". It was just there on after time, he said the experts sich arkiologi I myself do not know uncertain. We can conclude in the days before modern art is not art beraspek individulistis.

Since when has the function of art individulistis start looking?, He said the another historian, he-he said since entering the era of modern art. How could this happen? (This is my little words quoted earlier scholars). Because follow the pattern of human thinking that wish to seek novelty and make changes (either good or bad).

Contemporary art

Contemporary Art is one branch art which affected modernization. Contemporary that means nowadays, modern or rather is something that is similar to conditions time the same or current, so art contemporary is an art that is not bound by old rules and developing appropriate today. Painting contemporary is a thematic work that reflects the situation that is being passed. For example a painting that is no longer bound by Rennaissance. So did the dance, more creative and modern.

The word "contemporary" is derived from the word "co" (together) and "tempo" (time). So that confirms that contemporary art is the work reflects the thematic situations that are impassable time. Or opinion which says that "contemporary art is art that is against the tradition modernism West". This is a development of postmodern discourse (Postmodern art) And Postcolonialism who try to raise the discourse appearance indigenous art (Native art). Or a local art treasures as the place to live (state) of artist.

In layman contemporary art can be defined as the following:

Lack of insulation between the various discipline art, aka melting the boundaries between painting, sculpture, graphic, skill, theater, dance, music, Anarchy, nonsense, until the action politics.
Got a passion and desire "moralistic" related to dimension social and politics as a thesis.
Art media interest tends to be commodities pewacanaan, as the actuality of the fashionable news.

Has been the nature of most of us to always fun to make a new designation designation, the vocabulary "Anyar" which sometimes sounds girlish and adorable but that is an existential necessity owned by anyone anywhere, would not live no more than an attempt to interpret something with it first to give it a name? When something has been named is there then the issue becomes complete, or is there effort, effort, good faith, and whatever his name to further assess, examine, identify the most essential thing to something that we give that name? Hopefully.

Speaking about the development of indie music in Malang like to talk about the tangled threads sebulat obscure where the edges. Emergence of dozens perhaps hundreds of musical groups who "confessed" indie has been declared as a cultural phenomenon that it unhistorical.

Some musicians are often beromantisme Malang with Malang heyday had been a barometer of where the development of music in the homeland, to even this thing still seems too unhistorical.

There is a kind of vertigo that may become latent in the existence of musicians, especially in terms of music, and pull the pull between the center and the edge and then transformed to a romantic attitude toward his predecessor's predecessor. Indie music phenomenon that many appear not much different from similar phenomena dipelbagai cities in Indonesia. , And this sort of thing is still too early to say as a parameter of development, especially when the local level increased music appreciation.

Malang, as an urban city (City of a Million exactly commercial) will inevitably be filled with a variety of cultural values "stretcher" brought by the urban (students and job seekers) and as the city may begin to lose its local identity, it is necessary if emerging forms new cultural phenomenon, one that is often called by Stout, indie music.

As the performance of musicals that tend to ahistorical, there are difficulties to find an understanding of what exactly is indie music was? although basically I strongly agree that the problem can not simply stop the music at issue because the definitive musical expression beyond the definition of the region. At this point I am trying to see more musical aspect of what does the indie music scene.

At first I thought that the word comes from the word indie indigeneous which means indigenous and from my understanding of this kind assume that the performance of indie music is music that carries and uses local musicality (tradition) as a medium of musical expression but in fact, my guess is wrong, all I ever seen from a variety of indie music (exactly indie band) apparently are not much different musically with their fellow colleagues in England, and America better than interval scale is used, instrumentarium, mechanisms of production and distribution, until the action stage and accessories.

Is there is a form of inferiority, low self-esteem because we are "indo" and all liability, not Caucasians, amit indigenous shame. Ah why did I suddenly become a racist way?

Look buddy, a cultural exchange is an inevitable necessity an age like now but I am skeptical that there is not cultural hegemony but cultural exchange. Yeah like that's the reality we now tend to be plastic and kagetan. Then I tried to find another sense what is indie, if during these words refer to the more indie efforts in working independently, producing, and planning the distribution pattern, I just jumped kewilayah understanding outside of music, ie music industry and market mechanisms.

Perhaps this is the real issue, when the idealism of his music have to deal with the emerging market tastes sort of resistance to the domination of large-scale music industry, often called the major labels. The irony, cynicism often appear similar to the variety of musical groups who take shelter under the umbrella of the major labels as a group that did not have the idealism of his music because it is considered to have become the appliance industry.

There are covered with the ambiguous attitude of idealism on behalf of music, because I'm also not sure whether the group incorporated in the major music labels do not have that idealism? One thing that might need to remember is that musical tastes can be constructed in various ways, one of them is changing and the market appetite for these agents of large-scale music industry often uses this thing.

If indeed someone or a group of music to feel confident with the musical ideals should also be able to receive a "legawa 'own risk of market potential, and if the popularity, and a variety of financial benefits that become the main motivation of a person or group of works of music in the music there are craftsmen at all times ready to receive orders.

Growth in Malang indie music as well as other cities are a form of the whole phenomenon of urban culture with all kinds of routine life, authority, and domination of the industry that agents tend to allergenic agents with something that sounds marginal.

While on one hand of expression space narrowing due to the homogeneity of taste, then the road which must be taken if not DO IT By Your Self, spirituality generation of interest "60's, the philosophical assumptions of the hippies, punkers and heroism of the alienated land of birth itself, making it a fashion may also idols. Ah stale rice in new packaging, we always follow, Caucasians are not ashamed to admit native.

Experimental Culture: Being the host in their own country

A decade ago, we still can not say the entertainment industry has played host in their own country. Now, we can say it loudly and confidently. Yes, music and movies we've become the ruler in our Indonesian cultural atmosphere.

Seem, motor movement is a digital technology-which then encourage the emergence of media-friendly regulatory nan. Technology makes individuals and small groups have the power to produce and reproduce the information product. The good news, the existence of the technology is also more economically affordable.

With bright bagus2 set of computers that do not quite, with audio devices plus transmitter spurious, small groups or even individuals can take advantage of the radio broadcast community radio regulatory clearances. Young people can more freely produce music recordings and videos of their own, with a friendly device rupiah. Not to mention if you mention internet-based media.

Basically I agree that the media is just media. He can promise extraordinary amplification of the idea and persebarannya. However, more often than not it has happened only with the pattern of the spread of duplication that makes the product more quickly stale ideas.

Mp3 player in its various forms makes us more greedily collect the song 'new'. Portability and simplicity make a new song stale faster. Faster kebasian process if we are also active consumers' television and radio.

So, a new song can be so boring fast.

The sooner boring, then become a niche industry to meet the thirst for music with anything through a variety of ways ...

If diingat2 again, the beginning of the millennium we explore the extraordinary culture experiments (except for at the same time also menggaungkan political reform). Musicality experimental mass change rapidly colonized the hearing a pop. Start the ngerock, ngejazz, ngepunk and ska, rnb ngerap plus. And after the break with a pop of color rather long, berlabuhlah we are now in the era of pop music melayu.

It seemed like no coincidence when you see the history of Country music also finds growing maturity after 30 years in the country endemiknya. And, if music evolved as a dangdut melayu Indonesia in the Bang Rhoma (80s), it was not excessive if melayu pop music now, three decades after the pematangannya Bang Rhoma is as neo-Dangdut.

Creative Destruction?

Sometimes I wake up dreaming of anthropology with an fractal geometry. If you wake up as the phenomenon of culture can be likened to fractal geometry, we are worthy of suspicion with the dynamics of that culture. Or, if not fractal, perhaps a kind of metamorphic computer viruses (metamorphic code) hahaha

Although no exact match, our culture experiments as a milestone in American history to the '60s decade. Reminiscent of the era in the history of Uncle Sam's land rights struggle of the civil society movement; extraordinary political dynamics (with extra escalating after the Kennedy assassination); economic problems because of Stagflation, unemployment, and the oil crisis, as well as the Vietnam war that encourages young people Kontrakultura.

Why make America as a sample in the event of these?

Firstly because of the many similarities. A heterogeneous culture with territory-wide, toward the development of an open and democratic political, economic capitalistic , ex-colonies, making the mass media as a driving culture, and the ge-er I call a 'mecca' culture in the region.

Second, because the USA is the 'mecca' mondial culture. Then, return to the phenomenon of fractal geometry, slowly (though admittedly sad dg) we are increasingly based on the fractal known as copy-Asian Americans in the face (so that the vice president much cheating Obama campaign, hahaha...).
But, thankfully this time (with encouragement) we have not fully american. 'Experimental' smoothing, because our culture did not have a Common Enemy-as-catalyst such as Vietnam and the USA against Cuba, and work on Korea. However, our creative industries capitalism may be more wild.

Maybe it has not been in the habit of conserving cultural product, whatever the current trend strikes, at the time so it will then be passed as part of the current pop. Products we like the music and movie experience 'innovation saturation' - or even more radical: creative destruction.

Or, the climate of cultural konservatorisme indeed need a more mature capitalism?
