The Brains of Photo Copy Machine (2007)

padahal kita sadar, tapi seperti tertidur...
beramai terbuai terperosok.. .

skali lagi, ini bukan suara sentimentil, hanya sedikit kritik tuk menggapi topik!
tuk smua (yang merasa) calon arsitek, saatx tuk bertanya ke diri sendiri : "kuliah di arsitektur pasti jadi arsitek ndak yah...?"

pertanyaan lugu? memang iya, makanya ndak perlu dijawab dengan penjelasan panjang, cukup liat realitas :
- sebagian besar (mungkin semuanya) mahasiswa arsitektur tidak tau bikin konsep rancangan dari skenario gagasannya sendiri, karna tugas2 yang dibuat adalah turun temurun warisan kakak kelas!
- wawasan arsitektural mahasiswa arsitektur paling tinggi seputaran cara menggambar yang baik dan benar!
- ekspresi kreatifitas yang harusnya jadi karakter mahasiswa arsitektur kurang terlihat di kampus!
- etc

mungkin ini salah satu hulu dari krisis identitas yang dimaksud, sederhananya, pembentukan karakter pada masa perkuliahan akan mempengaruhi identitas personal lulusan sekolah tertentu, apalagi untuk jurusan profesi seperti arsitektur!

belum terlambat tuk berbenah menuju "the real" arsitek!

Six days later...

dear rekan
saya baru menemukan bahwa tulisan saya di blog ttg Henry Dunant, http://noertika.wordpress.com/2007/05/08/henry-dunant-dan-sensitifitas-kita/
dimuat di kabar indonesia (http://www.kabarindonesia.com/berita.php?pil=20&dn=20070509054347 )
dan diakui sebagai tulisan Sdr Bambang Eko Nugrahanto

ini merupakan bentuk plagiat dan pelanggaran hak cipta?

Those are two different tophics that I would like -and proudly- to mention in here.

First it is a voice of concerns from an Architect, who worried about their ´Architectural identity,´ by saying how the students are prefer to copied ther senior`s works. And those students were not even bothered to use their own thoughts and creativities for their own studies.

The second is about one article that had been being copy-pasted by another person into one known ´citizen journalism´ media called Khabar Indonesia. (welcome to ´open´ source, but it´s not that ´open´, haha..)

The article named ´Henry Dunant dan Sensifitas Kita´ (Henry Dunant and Our Sensifities) was wrtitten in order to celebrate the Red Cross International Day, by Ruslee Noertika.

This tophic of copy-pasting without any respect to someone´s intellectual works and efforts, is still very hot, since I mentioned it into the Blog Family website, called BlogFam (http://www.blogfam.com ) Where almost all Bloggers through out Indonesia are gathered.

What amazes me that, there were already several cases had been happened before. One by one they would speak up there, or any other ways.

Ah, ya. Those two ´bad songs´ are not all, if I have to mention of how many sinetrons (cinema electronic, soap opera) in some big mailing lists, are being suggested as nothing but a ´photo copy´ from many other soap operas from Korea, Japan, etc.

BrainTrading
We are coming into an era called ´free´ market (is it?), and this ´original idea´ of me called BrainTrading, would some how - I hope- helping our economic and spiritual growth. Wait, hold on. I know, you ask that, but I already explain it into one of my still in the writing process of ´PatanYali´ novel series, how could the BrainTrading would help our spiritual growth.

Consider this, we do have all the sources, natural, energies, menpower, the beauty of nature and variety of culture, the sun, etc, you name it. But, thanks to all Thinkers, Academists, Professors, Educational Institutions (I bet those things requested a huge chunks of Dollar$.) And the result is, we Indonesians are still left behind of our very close neighbours, Malaysia, Singapore, so on.

˝How can?˝ One of the Head of Tourism Board of Makassar once asked me. What he really asked was ˝How come?˝

In Indonesian language ´how come´ translated as ´bagaimana bisa?´ while ´bisa´ can be translated as ´can´ in English. So I deeply and humbly ask for mercy, for both me and him about our English skills.

There are some funky things happening in this language matters. For example, in South Sulawesi, we have a Hero that has a symbol of ´Ayam Jantan Dari Timur.´ What is the ´Ayam Jantan´ means in English? Yes! Cock!
So, we called our own brave and beloved Hero as ´Cock From the East!.´ See? What an amazing people we are.

Back to the track, BrainTrading idea.

Yes, we already produced some internationaly known product as you called it ´the maids.´A damn high quality export commodity to -mainly- Saudi Arabia.

So, please if, or incase you are -or whomever out there- looking for some kind of second hand -but more likely original- brain, for transplantation to increase the understanding between you and your pets for example (or whatever purposes) We -Indonesians- are proudly produces those kind of ´products.´ We are going to make some list of their names and trade marks, here.

You might ask, what these amazing phenomenons have to do with my novel?

Well, this is the fun part, for me at least. I am some kind of guy, when you throw a donut in front of my lovely face, I could immediately explain that how a donut can be a symbol of a religion.

So, dont miss my the next ´neuron chit-chats´...
