Uniqueness Batik

Uniqueness Batik


Batik is a textile craft circumstances familiar to Indonesian people, often become a symbol of the Indonesian nation. Batik is known closely related to Javanese culture in Indonesia, even since the time of Raden Wijaya (1294-1309) during the Majapahit kingdom. But basically any material of batik style clothing has also from outside the island of Java, for example in several places in Sumatra, Jambi and even some places such as in Kalimantan and Sulawesi. Batik motifs used ranging from decorations, fabric glove, cap, shirt, scarf and even more. But the really interesting stuff with batik is that he is not a simple concept that even its etymology from the side. Batik can represent a unique and elaborate ornamentation in the style and colors and geometric shapes can reveal. But most important is that batik can also represent the process of making patterns and ornamentation as shown in it.

Batik process or in verbia also referred to as "mbatik", it is not as simple as describing a painting, for example. Ornamentasinya Multiperspektif emanating from the result of the process and the stages of pseudo-algorithmic very interesting. Based on the publication of "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 ornaments of the isen-defined pattern. There are several common patterns that are traditionally used as a motive cecek, shredded, shredded cecek, Melik scales, and so forth.

3. Harmony ornamentation, the placement of various backgrounds from the overall design shows the general harmonization. The pattern used is usually a pattern ukel, galar, gringsing, or some setting that indicates a specific modification of isen pattern, for example sekar sedhah, rembyang, sekar boyfriend, and so forth.

Fractals: Geometric Batik
The amazing thing is that from batik batik is a process that is born of the cognitive system and the depiction of nature and the environment. Batik is created through a mapping between an object outside of batik and the articulation of human cognition and psychomotor aspects contained in the craft of batik.

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

Outlook will be geometric forms we currently tend to be closely related to the geometry inherited from the Aristotelian worldview western grip, which views the geometric dimensions as the original numbers. Dimension 1 as a line, as built flat two-dimensional, three-dimensional space as wake up, and so on. But the world was not that simple. The long journey of history of science has brought us to the reality of science as we are witnessing today. In the course of philosophy of science, science is always a positive character to the fact, that science is not limited to, reductionism is a matter that will eventually bring us to the main and fundamental explanation, and so on.

We consider the strange happenings as a form kerandoman. Science has been very confident, until finally began to question the meta-mathematics, arithmetic (by the mathematician Kurt Godel, 1931), the philosophy began to talk about the paradox and the validity of deductions (by the philosopher Bertrand Russell, 1903), sociologists began to speak of postmodernism (sociologist Jean Jaques Lyotard, 1979), the wave of multi-perspective work of art as art and psikodelik dadaisme on the art of music, and many more in almost all lines of science and modern art, including questions about the long coastline and that the geometry start acquainted with the concept of fractal (Benoit Mandelbrot, 1982). Philosophy of science has finally realized that there were problems in how we view the world. Reductionism philosophy of science in general is questionable when it finally realized that "the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts".

It was not a linear world, and science that there is now need to consider this matter. Even philosophically, science is currently not allowed to stand alone with the tradition and the accompanying konvensionalisme. Interdisciplinary approach is important. The fact will be how high complexity of the universe and we eventually gave birth to the social environment of bio-physics, computational chemistry, ekonofisika, computational sociology, cognitive science, evolutionary economics, and a row of names that describe how science should be paced across borders pakemnya. In the course of the history of modern science, all in elementary berlandas on how we view the world, where classical geometry was no doubt he is a fundamentalist. History of science has finally realized that fractal better and more appropriate in view the world. The study is based fractal nature of the notice "to-not-full-ness" of the universe model, one of which is shown with the knowledge of non-integer dimension, but it is broken.

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

Not impossible, the language of his Indonesian interdisplinaritas is mutual help, as geometry is an Indonesian batik. Fraktalitas aspect of the invention will in batik (as also found in many aspects of ancient culture and art and other classics in many temapat when ancient Greek and Roman influences yet powerful, like China, India, Arab) gives us a warning that we need to change our perspective on values and traditions of our cultural heritage. Enjoying batik was never the same way a painting perspective. Resolving problems in a mono-discipline was never the same as using an interdisciplinary approach.

The fact fraktalitas on batik, as the cultural aspects of visual culture and civilization closely with Indonesia to be a very important thing.



mbatik: from ngisen and computational iterations to generative art
The progress of science and modern technology has led to the generation where we can perform simulations that mimic the process (either natural processes, the physical, biological, and even the price movement and social interaction) is computational. Of the various approaches in science to realize that a lot of natural and social phenomena that it looks complicated, random, chaos is basically derived from something that is actually 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 it is deterministic. This can be done because computer technology allows us to record the dynamics iteratively.

What about the forms and intricate patterns in nature, such as clouds, smoke, the pattern of shoreline, etc., that looks random and visually complex it? Computing technology, as can be applied to see the pattern of simple arithmetic that produces chaos could also be applied to see the simple geometric patterns that generate fractals. Business view on batik fractal phenomenon has also expanded repertoire and more high appreciation opportunities in batik.

Decade of the 21st century celebrating the development of computer technology very rapidly. Works of art, both visual and sound began to acquire this technology to expand the coverage area and the limitless power of human imagination and creativity. One aspect is the understanding of generative art. Generative of modern visual art begins with a visualization rules repeatedly (iteratively) to visualize a simple shape which in turn acquired the patterns of the complex. This artistic pattern relies on a process of repetition of patterns and shapes similar to the media - a creation of works of art that often mentions the Dutch artist, G. Escher (1898-1972) as a pioneering in the history of modern art. Clear pattern of repeated (read: iterative) will produce a fractal recurrent pattern as a simple arithmetic can generate chaotic patterns.

Pigmentation shells, shells sulir patterns, intricate forms of snowflakes, the growth of cancer, and even some patterns of price movements of stocks and indexes in the economy show fractal patterns. By doing "imitation" is computationally with a variety of computational systems, we know how complex patterns can occur in the universe and our social lingkunngan. Such an analysis is also known as shape analysis based on generative sciences, and various aesthetic object of art called generative computational birth. 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.

> isen >> harmonisasi." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">When batik can be shown to have fractal patterns, he will be a chance to be seen as a form of generative. Lucky, because we've been pseudo-algorithm also knows how to make batik as we've seen before: klowongan>> isen>> harmonization. In fact it is quite likely, some kind of fractal pattern known as "the beauty of mathematics" can also be inspired batik patterns. From here, research shows that there are at least three types of fractal patterns which can be a form of computational batik motifs in computational generative fractal, namely:

Type 1: Fractals as Batik
several types of fractals are customizable so that a particular pattern can be designed as an inspiration for the construction of batik design. Customization can be done on iteratifnya rules, modifications to the form pencorakan color, and so forth. In the following demonstration, we simulate the zooming and coloring of technical customization Mandelbrot set that can be used as a base for a fashion batik fractal.

Type 2: Hybrid Fractal Batik
of fractal patterns can be used as a pattern model of the basic decoration and ornamentation, together with the original isen from the basic motif of batik and vice versa. This can be done using a computational what constitutes a traditional batik motif in such adaptations result from non-batik fractal. This mode combines the aesthetic design of fractal patterns in computational yangr born and what was delivered through an extensive cultural traditions of batik is known. In this demonstration, shown a modification of the L-system is designed so as to produce the form of filling the space (space-filling curves) that can be used as a form of batik material to be customized.

Type 3: Batik Fractal Innovations
is a form of implementation of the image with a specific pattern or randomly by using iterative teselasi forms, or algorithm, the charging of the original ornamentation as isen batik or batik pattern that has been traditionally known. This can be done with the extraction of the basic motif of batik ornamentation which was then in the re-iteration algorithm using pseudo-known batik. As a demonstrative example as shown in this example. Here, two motifs of batik in computational re-process by providing great design of a computational general pattern will be processed (isen and harmonization) that produce fractal properties so as to produce an entirely new motive to pay attention to patterns and principles mbatik process. Users can customize with specific staining.

All three of these patterns is a form of generative implementation of awareness of how batik has a fractal nature, and supports the broadening of the appreciation of Indonesian culture of non-woven textiles of this.

Note
Culture batik comes from cognitive understanding, which is covered in works of visual aesthetics a little more to give an implicit description of how the Indonesian people view themselves, their natural and social environment. Batik pattern known fractal is a fact that there are alternative perspectives that exist in Indonesian society and civilization unique relative to typical modern outlook. This uniqueness is an important thing to remember is a form of understanding of fractal geometry is sophisticated and has the awareness of the complexity of the system and handle it with more wisdom.

Batik-patterned as an aesthetic object has a good description of the pseudo-algorithmic rules that could be treated as a form of generative art that has usefulness:
- Contribution and inspiration to the civilization of mankind, especially in the field of generative art perkembangans.
- Encourage and broaden ekslorasi and appreciation for the art of batik as part of the tradition of Indonesian archipelago.
- Research on aspects of batik fraktalitas in general encourage further excavation on the cognitive aspects related to the perspective and wisdom of our previous community about nature and people - considering the close link between art and science as demonstrated in the history of modern science and history.
