CTS B Week 1: Creative Practice and Critical Thinking
For our first lesson of CTS back from summer break, we were taught about the creative practice and critical thinking and how work as different components and also work together at the same time. We were then tasked to write short stories about the social issues in Singapore.
When we were asked to write our short stories, I was stuck between two topics; a critical story about cyber-racism in Singapore or a creative story about religion vs same-sex relationships. I decided to go with the later and wrote about a small story with it. I wrote about the experience with being a religious Muslim and having feelings for someone of the same gender, how I handled the situation and how it turned out.
When it was time to share our stories with our classmates, I decided to group up with two other people. One shared a critical story about the concern for the elderly and the rapid growing information age in South Korea and another shared a critical story about overpopulation in Seoul and what the South Korean is doing to solve the issue of it In Tancred Thomas’ article, he starts off with what Creative Thinking and Critical Thinking is and the characteristics of both of them (Thomas). One point is how Creative Thinking “encourages individuals to use a variety of approaches to solve issues” and how it can result in a flexible and original ideation process. He then listed the similarities and differences of both Creative Thinking and Critical Thinking in this Mindmap.

Conversation
The Normans - A Timeline
911: According to later writer Dudo of Saint-Quentin, in this year the king of the Franks, Charles the Simple, grants land around the city of Rouen to Rollo, or Rolf, leader of the Vikings who have settled the region: the duchy of Normandy is founded. In return Rollo undertakes to protect the area and to receive baptism, taking the Christian name Robert.
1002: Emma, sister of Duke Richard II of Normandy, marries Æthelred (‘the Unready’), king of England. Their son, the future Edward the Confessor, flees to Normandy 14 years later when England is conquered by King Cnut, and remains there for the next quarter of a century. This dynastic link is later used as one of the justifications for the Norman conquest.
1016: A group of Norman pilgrims en route to Jerusalem are ‘invited’ to help liberate southern Italy from Byzantine (Greek) control. Norman knights have already been operating as mercenaries here since the turn of the first millennium, selling their military services to rival Lombard, Greek and Muslim rulers.
1035: Having ruled Normandy for eight years, Duke Robert I falls ill on his return from
a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and dies at Nicaea. By prior agreement, Robert is succeeded by his illegitimate son William, the future Conqueror of England, then aged just seven or eight. A decade of violence follows as Norman nobles fight each other for control of the young duke and his duchy.
1051: Duke William visits England. His rule in Normandy now established, and newly married to Matilda of Flanders, William crosses the Channel to speak with his second cousin, King Edward the Confessor of England. The subject of their conference is unknown, but later chroniclers assert that at this time Edward promises William the English succession.
1059: Pope Nicholas II invests the Norman Robert Guiscard with the dukedoms of Apulia, Calabria and Sicily. The popes had opposed the ambitions of the Normans in Italy, but defeat in battle at Civitate in southern Italy in 1053 had caused them to reconsider. In 1060 Robert and his brother Roger embark on the conquest of Sicily, and Roger subsequently rules the island as its great count.
1066: Edward the Confessor dies on 5 January, and the throne is immediately taken by his brother-in-law Harold Godwinson, the most powerful earl in England, with strong popular backing. Harold defeats his Norwegian namesake at Stamford Bridge in September. But on 14 October William’s Norman forces defeat Harold’s army at Hastings. William is crowned as England’s king on Christmas Day.
1069: The initial years of William’s reign in England are marked by almost constant English rebellion, matched by violent Norman repression. In autumn 1069 a fresh English revolt is triggered by a Danish invasion. William responds by laying waste to the country north of the Humber, destroying crops and cattle in a campaign that becomes known as the Harrying of the North, leading to widespread famine and death.
1086: Worried by the threat of Danish invasion, at Christmas 1085 William decides to survey his kingdom – partly to assess its wealth, and partly to settle arguments about landownership created by 20 years of conquest. The results, later redacted and compiled as Domesday Book, are probably brought to him in August 1086 at Old Sarum (near Salisbury), where all landowners swear an oath to him.
1087: William retaliates against a French invasion of Normandy. While attacking Mantes he is taken ill or injured – possibly damaging his intestines on the pommel of his saddle – and retires to Rouen, where he dies on 9 September. Taken to Caen for burial, his body proves too fat for its stone sarcophagus, and bursts when monks try to force it in. His eldest surviving son, Robert Curthose, becomes duke of Normandy, while England passes to his second son, William Rufus.
1096: Following a call to arms by Pope Urban II in 1095, many Normans set out towards the Holy Land on the First Crusade, determined to recover Jerusalem. Among them are Robert Curthose, who mortgages Normandy to his younger brother, William Rufus, and William the Conqueror’s notorious half-brother, Bishop Odo of Bayeux. Odo dies en route and is buried in Palermo, but Robert goes on to win victories in Palestine and is present when Jerusalem falls.
1100: Having succeeded his father in 1087 and defeated Robert Curthose’s attempts to unseat him, the rule of William II (‘Rufus’, depicted below) seems secure. But on 2 August 1100, while hunting in the New Forest with some of his barons, William is struck by a stray arrow and killed. His body is carted to Winchester for burial, and the English throne passes to his younger brother, Henry, who is crowned in Westminster Abbey just three days later.
1101: Roger I of Sicily dies. By the end of his long rule, Count Roger has gained control over the whole of Sicily – the central Muslim town of Enna submitted in 1087, and the last emirs in the southeast surrendered in 1091. He is briefly succeeded by his eldest son, Simon, but the new count dies in 1105 and is succeeded by his younger brother, Roger II.
1120: On 25 November Henry I sets out across the Channel from Normandy to England. One of the vessels in his fleet, the White Ship, strikes a rock soon after its departure, with the loss of all but one of its passengers. One of the drowned is the king’s only legitimate son, William Ætheling. Henry responds by fixing the succession on his daughter, Matilda, and marrying her to Geoffrey Plantagenet, count of Anjou.
1130: Roger II is crowned king of Sicily, having pushed for royal status in order to assert his authority over the barons of southern Italy. A disputed papal succession in 1130 has provided an opportunity and, in return for support against a papal rival, Pope Anacletus II confers the kingship on Roger in September. He is crowned in Palermo Cathedral on Christmas Day.
1135: Henry I dies in Normandy on 1 December, reportedly after ignoring doctor’s orders and eating his favourite dish - lampreys. His body is shipped back to England for burial at the abbey he founded in Reading. Many of his barons reject the rule of his daughter, Matilda, instead backing his nephew, Stephen, who is crowned as England’s new king on 22 December.
1154: King Stephen, the last Norman king of England, dies. His death ends the vicious civil war between him and his cousin Matilda that lasted for most of his reign. As a result of the Treaty of Wallingford, which Stephen was pressured to sign in 1153, he is succeeded by Matilda’s son Henry of Anjou, who takes the throne as Henry II.
1174: King William II of Sicily begins the construction of the great church at Monreale (‘Mount Royal’), nine miles from his capital at Palermo. The building is a fusion of Byzantine, Latin and Muslim architectural styles, and is decorated throughout with gold mosaics, including the earliest depiction of Thomas Becket, martyred in 1170.
1194: Norman rule on Sicily ends. Tancred of Lecce, son of Roger III, Duke of Apulia, seizes the throne on William’s death in 1189; on his death in 1194 he is succeeded by his young son, William III. Eight months later, Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI, husband of Roger II’s daughter Constance, invades Sicily and is crowned in Palermo on Christmas Day. The following day, Constance gives birth to their son, the future Frederick II.
1204: King John loses Normandy to the French. The youngest son of Henry II, John had succeeded to England, Normandy, Anjou and Aquitaine after the death of his elder brother, Richard the Lionheart, in 1199. But in just five years he lost almost all of his continental lands to his rival King Philip Augustus of France – the end of England’s link with Normandy.

The Joy Formidable Play Music Hall of Williamsburg Thursday Night
Influenced by the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire and My Bloody Valentine, the Joy Formidable—Ritzy Bryan (vocals and guitar), Rhydian Dafydd (bass) and Matt Thomas (drums)—have been making what Pitchfork calls “their atomic fusion of Britpop-scaled anthemery and post-shoegaze overdrive” since forming in 2007. The Welsh trio are in fine form on their fourth long-player, Aaarth (stream it here), out in late September. “Aaarth may be their most immediate and cacophonous effort to date, pairing palm-muted riffs and explosive percussion with dynamic electronic flourishes,” says AllMusic. “That Aaarth feels cathartic comes as no surprise, as the trio have long been purveyors of both aural and emotional heft, but this time around they’ve managed to crystallize both aesthetics into something truly sublime.” With their American tour soon coming to a close, the Joy Formidable play Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday night. Tancred open the show.

London-based independent studio, Solar Sail Games today announced that Smoke and Sacrifice, their beautiful, hand-animated story of motherhood and survival will be released on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018. Set to be published by Curve Digital, players assume the role of Sachi, a young mother on a quest to discover the fate of her child. The game takes place in a darkly fantastical world where grotesque plant life and animals roam and harsh societal customs rule. Taking cues from modern survival classics, Smoke and Sacrifice evolves the genre with its deeply personal story and complex ecosystem. Creatures forage, mate, breed and prey on one another, creating a living world. Only by taming the game’s wilds can Sachi hope to unravel the mystery at the heart of Smoke and Sacrifice.
View the announcement trailer below:
“We’re thrilled to finally announce Smoke and Sacrifice after keeping the project to ourselves for so long. With both myself and Neil Millstone having produced games for major studios, Smoke and Sacrifice is an opportunity for us go back to our roots and create a genuinely intimate story in a compelling world,” said Tancred Dyke-Wells, Co-Founder of Solar Sail Games. “We wanted to combine a meaningful narrative with the challenges of survival gameplay. Discovering ways to influence this creepy, organic world to your advantage is key to pursuing your ultimate quest.”
“We’re really excited to be partnering with Solar Sail Games to publish Smoke and Sacrifice later this year,” said Simon Byron, Publishing Director at Curve Digital. “Neil and Tancred have done a remarkable job in bringing this world to life and evolving the survival gameplay that is resonating so deeply with players at this moment. We can’t wait to see how players react to this beautifully told story.”
Depicted in a beautiful, hand-painted style, Smoke and Sacrifice’s storybook visuals belie its brutal story of motherhood and survival. Sachi doesn’t just have to worry about the game’s antagonists – the entire game world poses a threat. Players can alter the behavior of plant and animal life but this may also limit the resources Sachi has to craft items from. The deadly smoke also poses unique challenges throughout the game, altering enemy as well as player behavior. Smoke and Sacrifice will launch for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018.

Reading/Rereading List
Reading/Rereading List The following is an incomplete, ongoing list of the books that I wish to read or read again. The list is separated by author, in chronological order of the year of the author’s birth. Note: Rather than list all of the works by each author, I have selected only the titles that currently interest me. For complete lists, search authors on wikipedia.org. Of course in the early centuries you will find the obvious choices from both the “Western canon” and the Eastern classics listed, with the more varied, fun stuff from the twentieth century farther down the page. To search this list, hold the command key and press the f key at the same time if you are on a mac, or hold the window key and press the + key and the f key if you are on some other brand of computer. Then type a title, or a year, or an author’s name to find them on this list. * - The Egyptian Book of the Dead (3150-1550 BCE) [Wallis Budge translation, 1895] * Homer (Greek, c. 750-650 BCE) - The Iliad (c. 760-10 BCE) - The Odyssey (c. 750-00 BCE) [Fagles translations] * Hesiod (Greek, c. 750-650 BCE) - Works and Days (c. 700 BCE)[Stallings translation] * Aesop (Greek, c. 620-564 BCE) - The Complete Fables [Temple and Temple translation] * Lao Tzu (Laozi) (Chinese, born 6th to 5th century BCE, died 531 BCE) - Tao Te Ching (Daodejing) (6th century BCE)[Lau translation][Mitchell translation] * Anonymous (Indian) - The Upanishads (800-400 BCE)[Mascaró translation] * Aeschylus (Greek, 523-426 BCE) - Prometheus Bound and Other Plays: – Prometheus Bound (date and authorship disputed) – The Suppliants (463 BCE) – Seven Against Thebes (467 BCE) – The Persians (472 BCE) [Vellacott translation] - The Oresteia (458 BCE): – Agamemnon – The Libation Bearers – The Eumenides [Fagles translation] * Anonymous (Indian) - Bhagavad Gita (part of the Mahabharata) (5th-2nd century BCE)[Mascaró translation][Mitchell translation] * Buddhist Scriptures (3rd century BCE) [Lopez edit] * Anonymous (Indian) The Dhammapada (3rd century BCE)[Mascaró translation] * Sophocles (Greek, c. 497-406 BCE) - The Three Theban Plays: – Antigone (c. 441 BCE) – Oedipus the King [aka Oedipus Tyrannus, Oedipus Rex] (c. 429 BCE) – Oedipus at Colonus (406 BCE) [Fagles translation] * Plato (Greek, c. 428-348 BCE) - The Symposium (385-370 BCE) [Gill translation] - The Republic (370 BCE) [Rowe translation] - The Last Days of Socrates (370 BCE) [Rowe translation] - Phaedrus (370 BCE) [Rowe translation] * Aristotle (Greek, 384-322 BCE) - Nicomachean Ethics (340 BCE)[Beresford Translation] - The Art of Rhetoric [Lawson-Tancred translation] - Poetics (335 BCE) [Heath translation] * Chuang Tzu (Zhuang Zhou, Zhuangzi) (Chinese, 369-286 BCE) - The Book of Chuang Tzu (3rd century BCE) [Palmer and Breuilly translation] * Ovid (Greek, 43 BCE- 18 CE) - Metamorphoses (8 CE) [Raeburn translation] * - Bibliotheca of Pseudo-Apollodorus (1st or 2nd century CE)[Translated by Robin Hard as The Library of Greek Mythology for Oxford World's Classics] * The Talmud (200 CE) - The Talmud: A Selection [Solomon translation] * Padmasambhava, a.k.a.

Hyperallergic: After an Earthquake Destroyed a Museum, an Artist Stepped in to Fill the Void
Julia Holden’s portraits “The Newspaperman: James Edward FitzGerald (Andrew Tebbutt)” (2016) and “The Heroic Antarctic Explorer: Ernest Shackleton (David Harris)” at the London Street Bookstore in Lyttelton, New Zealand (all images courtesy the artist)
When a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand’s Canterbury region in February 2011, the port town of Lyttelton — just 1.2 miles east of the epicenter — suffered severe, widespread damage. The Lyttelton Museum, whose collection recounts the area’s history as one of New Zealand’s earliest landing points for colonial settlers, was demolished in the aftermath. The institution continues to work on erecting a new building, but in the meantime has found ways to maintain a public presence, most recently through a thoughtful, digitally accessible project that brings to life local history while engaging with the present-day, still-recovering community.
Julia Holden, “The Artist (Hannah Beehre)” (2016)
Created by Christchurch-based artist Julia Holden, Lyttelton Redux uses sound, painting, photography, and performance to tell the stories of those who helped shape what was essentially the primary gateway for the development of the entire Canterbury region. It unfolds as an audio tour, downloadable through international museum app izi.TRAVEL, but also exists online as a virtual museum, allowing anyone around the world to dig into some fascinating tales.
Holden revived the histories of 23 figures — all suggested by the Lyttelton Museum — who were connected to the town, from early settlers and land surveyors to a landscape artist to a prominent suffragette. For each person, she found a present-day local connected to them based on occupation or personal relationships; the contemporary person then served as her living canvas: she painted each subject (with non-toxic paint) to resemble their corresponding original figure, using historical photographs and paintings as a guide. Holden then photographed her participants. The resulting images are immediately intriguing: the figures’ bodies resemble wax sculptures, but their expressions are alive, with glistening eyes peering out from beneath carefully crafted costumes.
The prints now hang in locations around Lyttelton that are associated with either the past or present subjects, and these sites form the walking tour. The accompanying audio is sourced from New Zealand’s Nga Taonga Sound and Vision Archive, complemented by recordings of the participating locals reflecting on their forebearers. Holden is also selling smaller versions of the portraits through 50 Works Gallery to raise money for the museum.

“I conceived of the project primarily as a way of reconnecting people with their town’s very interesting history, linking the remaining buildings by creating a kind of art and history ‘treasure hunt,’ and as a potential fundraiser for the museum,” Holden told Hyperallergic. “The portraits literally speak for themselves.”
Through the project, you can learn about the painter Margaret Stoddart as told by Lyttelton artist Hannah Beehre, or listen to a broadcast from September 13, 1933, announcing the election of the first woman, Elizabeth McCombs, to the New Zealand Parliament; the politician’s great-granddaughter, Carolyn McCombs, served as her living canvas. You can hear a recording of a Māori song performed by members of the Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu tribe to commemorate the centenary of World War I; it accompanies a portrait of a Māori battalion soldier, representing the largely forgotten Māori who served in the war. There’s also the story of the whaler Captain Thomas Gay, whose wrecked ship gave its name to present-day Corsair Bay, as well as the tale of John McKenzie, a notorious sheep stealer who received jail time for swiping a thousand of the woolly animals.
Launched in November, Lyttelton Redux will remain physically integrated into the town through the end of March, while the virtual exhibition and audio components will remain online indefinitely. The photographs may go to the Canterbury Museum in nearby Christchurch. Vibrant and uncanny, they are windows into a rich past that would otherwise, for now, remain largely inaccessible.
