20230425 short 20 min Chat GPT break from trying to edit and give my critical friend some pages to read... - This should actually be my Master thesis - How to edit a actor master thesis having ADHD... The dysfunction of my organisational skills are very real!
Gonna mastermind it in my ADHD coaching session on Thursday and se if I can get some future help with it, because not being able to estimate the time it takes to write and edit and not having the Executive functions to sort and plan for the biger picture but just diving into details as soon as they pop up and get lost for 6 hours of hyperfocus on solving a small problem instead of slowly getting one page at a time ready in the thesis is very exausting...
But today I have writtin and edited for 18 hours straight and instead of getting 20 pages the thesis is now 150 pages - GAH!
AND NOT FINISHED...
Oh yeah, almost forgot... Here is the chat with the AI robot:
How would you define art as in "the the art of" something?
1 / 1
When used in the context of "the art of" something, art typically refers to the skill or ability to do something well, particularly something that involves creativity or aesthetics. It can also refer to the technique or process used to create something, as well as the knowledge and understanding of that process. In this sense, "the art of" something is often used to describe a particular craft or discipline, such as the art of cooking, the art of dance, or the art of storytelling. Ultimately, the term "art" in this context is about mastery and excellence in a particular field, and the dedication and passion required to achieve it.

What if art wasn't just a skill to master but also something deeply human like a function and a need - how would you then explain it?
1 / 1
If we consider art not just as a skill to master, but also as a deeply human function and need, then we can define art as a means of expressing and communicating complex thoughts, emotions, and experiences through various mediums such as visual arts, music, literature, dance, and more.
Art can be seen as a way for humans to connect with each other and with the world around them, to explore and express their innermost feelings and ideas, and to create meaning and beauty in their lives. In this sense, art can be viewed as a fundamental aspect of the human experience, one that helps us to understand ourselves, each other, and the world we live in.
Furthermore, art can also serve as a means of coping with and processing difficult or challenging experiences, providing a way to express and work through emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words. As such, art can be a deeply therapeutic and healing practice.
Overall, when we view art as a deeply human function and need, we can see it as something that goes beyond mere technical mastery and instead speaks to the very core of our humanity.

Yes, and if that exploration is a function as well as a need and also a skill that can be mastered and or experienced what then would you say the art of acting is about?
1 / 1
The art of acting involves using one's skills and abilities to convey emotions, thoughts, and experiences through the portrayal of a character. While technical skill and mastery are important in acting, the art of acting is also about exploring the depths of human emotion and experience in order to create authentic, believable characters and performances.
Acting is often seen as a means of storytelling, with actors using their craft to bring characters and narratives to life on stage or screen. At its best, acting can transport audiences into other worlds, providing a window into different perspectives, experiences, and ways of being.
To achieve this level of authenticity, actors often draw upon their own emotions and experiences, using empathy and imagination to fully inhabit their characters and bring them to life. The art of acting involves a deep understanding of human nature, as well as the technical skills needed to fully embody a character and convey their thoughts and feelings to an audience.
Ultimately, the art of acting is about bringing the complexities of the human experience to life, allowing audiences to connect with and understand different perspectives and ways of being.

And if we add my definition of art as dreaming within or outside the realms of what is possible about something what would you then say the art of acting is?
1 / 1
If we add the idea of art as "dreaming within or outside the realms of what is possible" to our understanding of the art of acting, then we can see acting as a way to explore and bring to life different visions of the human experience.
Acting allows us to dream up and embody characters and stories that may be far removed from our own lives, and to bring those stories to audiences in a way that is both engaging and meaningful. Through the art of acting, we can explore what it means to be human, to experience joy and pain, to love and to lose, and to grapple with the complexities of the world around us.
In this sense, the art of acting can be seen as a form of creative expression that allows us to push beyond the boundaries of what is possible in our own lives, to imagine and inhabit different worlds and experiences, and to share those visions with others. At its best, the art of acting can transport audiences to new and exciting places, and inspire us to dream bigger and bolder about what it means to be human.

I think I like that too. And what would you say is the ART of a Social Media Actor?
1 / 1
The ART of a Social Media Actor involves using the platforms of social media to showcase their acting skills and reach a wide audience. It combines the technical skills of acting with an understanding of the unique demands and opportunities of social media as a medium for creative expression.
To succeed as a social media actor, one must have a deep understanding of how to engage with audiences online, creating content that is compelling, shareable, and memorable. This involves an understanding of trends and audience preferences, as well as the ability to create content that is both entertaining and authentic.
Social media actors must also be skilled at creating and managing their personal brand, building a following, and maintaining engagement with their audience. This involves an understanding of marketing and social media strategy, as well as a willingness to experiment and try new things in order to stand out in a crowded online landscape.
Ultimately, the ART of a Social Media Actor is about using the tools and opportunities of social media to showcase one's acting talents, connect with audiences, and build a career in a rapidly changing digital world. It requires both technical skill and creative vision, as well as a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities of social media as a medium for artistic expression.

What would be considered as something completely new in acting for Social Media that boarders on the unknowable or beyond what is knowable to do and act?
1 / 1
As with any medium, social media is constantly evolving, and new approaches to acting for social media are emerging all the time. However, there are a few areas that could be considered as pushing beyond what is currently known or possible in the realm of social media acting.
One such area is the use of virtual and augmented reality technologies to create immersive, interactive experiences for audiences. This could involve creating virtual worlds that audiences can explore and interact with, or using augmented reality to integrate digital elements into the real world.
Another area of innovation could involve the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to create more personalized and engaging content for audiences. For example, AI could be used to analyze audience engagement data and create customized content that is tailored to individual viewers' preferences and interests.
Finally, there is also the potential for social media actors to push beyond traditional narrative structures and explore more experimental, non-linear forms of storytelling. This could involve creating interactive, choose-your-own-adventure style content, or using social media platforms to create collaborative, crowdsourced narratives that evolve and change in response to audience input.
Overall, the possibilities for innovation in social media acting are vast and ever-expanding, and it will be exciting to see what new approaches and techniques emerge in the years to come.

Have to get back to my master thesis about this now, but thank you for the chat
1 / 1
You're welcome! Good luck with your master thesis, and feel free to come back if you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can help you with in the future.
Based on your definition of ART, an extremely meaningless and harmful newART-apple could potentially involve creating an experience that intentionally causes harm or discomfort to the audience without any clear purpose or goal beyond that. For example, it could involve creating a performance that involves physically injuring oneself or others, or engaging in behavior that is intentionally offensive or provocative without any clear artistic intent or message.
However, it's important to note that true art, even when pushing boundaries and exploring the edges of what is possible, should never cross ethical or moral lines. Art has the power to inspire, provoke, and challenge, but it should never be used as an excuse for harmful or abusive behavior. It's important for artists to always consider the potential impact of their work and to act with integrity and responsibility.
You make a good point. The classification of an artwork as newART, perspectiveART, or autonomousART is subjective and can vary depending on the individual's perspective and context. What may be considered newART to one person may be considered perspectiveART or even autonomousART to another.
In regards to the potential harm or meaninglessness of art, it's true that art can be used to challenge authority and promote social change, even if it is considered illegal or unethical by those in power. In this sense, the meaning of art can be subjective and vary depending on the cultural, social, and historical context in which it is created and experienced.
As an ARTist, it can be difficult to determine whether your work is on the border or beyond your or your audience's capability to determine. However, it's important to consider the potential impact of your work and to be aware of the potential risks and consequences. It can also be helpful to seek feedback from trusted peers and collaborators, as well as engage in ongoing dialogue and reflection about the intent and meaning of your work. Ultimately, the responsibility for the interpretation and impact of art lies with both the ARTist and the audience, and it's important for both parties to approach art with openness, curiosity, and critical thinking.
My apologies if it seems that way. As an AI language model, my responses are generated based on the input I receive, and I aim to provide informative and relevant responses.
Regarding your question about a very nurturing and meaningful newART-apple, my limit of ARTing would be difficult to define, as it would depend on the specific context, intention, and audience for the artwork. However, some general guidelines for creating nurturing and meaningful art might include focusing on themes of empathy, compassion, and connection, as well as exploring the beauty and complexity of the human experience in a way that encourages reflection and personal growth. It could also involve incorporating elements of community engagement or social justice, such as collaborating with underserved or marginalized populations, or using art as a tool for activism and advocacy. Ultimately, the limit of ARTing would be determined by the individual ARTist's vision and creative capacity, as well as their commitment to ethical and responsible art-making practices.
Hmm, that's an interesting question! If I were to frame my previous response as an apple, I might imagine it as a juicy, ripe fruit bursting with flavor and color. It would feel satisfying and refreshing to bite into, with layers of complexity and depth that unfold with each taste. As you continued to ART about it, you might discover new dimensions and meanings that you hadn't initially perceived, inspiring you to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of flavors and textures. Overall, it would be an apple that stimulates the senses, nourishes the soul, and invites you to explore the vast terrain of human experience with curiosity and wonder.
If we were to frame the idea of an actor with ADHD creating nurturing and meaningful content for a multi social media platform as an apple, I would imagine it as a complex and vibrant fruit, with a mix of tartness and sweetness that reflects the diverse range of experiences and emotions that the actor is capable of expressing. It would be bursting with energy and creativity, with each bite offering a unique and unpredictable flavor that keeps the audience engaged and intrigued. The ADHD aspect would add a layer of unpredictability and spontaneity, as the actor navigates the challenges and opportunities of multiplatform performance in their own unique way. The overall effect would be an apple that is rich in meaning and nourishing for the soul, reflecting the beauty and complexity of the human experience in all its diversity.
You're welcome! It was great talking with you, and I'm always here if you want to continue the conversation. Good luck with your performance lecture!
Take care, and have a great day!

The ADHD SoMe ACTOR and/or THIS IS a piece of ART!
A performance lecture by Alexander Lindman
Vad är en ADHD-Social-Media-Skådespelare?
Kom och avneurotypikalisera skådespelarens tekniker och arbetsplatser (och, varför inte konsten och framträdanden när vi ändå håller på?) tillsammans med mig i mina spaces.
Fun is the way!
In my research, I’m trying to define the ADHD-actor and deneurotypicalize the actor technique, the rehearsal rooms, the different work places and the different meetings with the audience. Through me as an ADHD-actor and the impact and response I’ve gotten and get from the neurotypical and neurodivergent communities from my history and experience and also from experiments, co-labs, films and surveys. This is the start of my journey - come and let’s continue the investigation together and also watch me work on the floor in this performance lecture-ish master ADHD-SoMe-ARTistical research experiment.
Parts of the performance lecture will be on your own mobile, if you’d like to, so please bring one or share one with your friend. Free WiFi connection exists at the location. (If you don’t have a phone there will be other possibilities to take part in and after the performance)
ADHD persons have neurodivergent brains, that they share with several other communities on different spectrums in similar or different ways. Which means thinking and acting differently by default from the larger population (those who are within a neurotypical way of thinking and operating).
ADHDers are said to have an interest-based nervous system that usually needs external stimulation to be motivated to do something. Such as things that spark joy, challenge, and interest, align with their passions or is new, shiny or has a very strict deadline…
Importance, on the other hand, that neurotypical brains operate more by, is usually very hard to pull off as tasks, doings or behaviour if they aren’t externally motivated by the interest-based nervous system… Which leads to (as a hypothesise) many persons that follow their dreams into the arts (because doing something else might be important but nearly impossible to even think about doing because of the neurotypical frameworks of those other things) being able to act more freely and more after their brains contents because the environments of the arts are usually more inviting and kind to differences.
But, the question still lingers: by which systems, with what social frameworks, techniques, and environments are they forced to operate consciously and subconsciously within the arts. How much of a neurotypical must we play to fit in to be able to follow our passions as ARTist? And if so, how can we deneurotypicalize those spaces, techniques, things, etc… to find the lowest common demeanor for a more inclusive space to operate in?
I will try to make the space and performance as neurodivergent-friendly as I can:
- you can come late
- you can leave whenever you want
- you can switch places and move in the audience or the audience places
- you are allowed and are also encouraged to be on your phone/iPad and have headphones (with your own things playing in them if you like or need) during the performance.
- if you need to know exactly what will happen in advance, or anything else, reach out and I will do what I can to help you.
- as it’s planned now there will be a free-to-roam part in the beginning and after that a more regular performance by me and then a break and after that questions and answers. Come and stay as you please!
There will also be a couple of answers and hopefully, you will walk away with more questions than when you first arrived <3
Fun is the way!
