Art for art&#8217;s sake or art for money. No matter how you perceive it. You should know that I don&#8217;t make products randomly. It&#8217;s not an empty labor. They all have a cause and effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is an artist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, it&#8217;s a person who performs art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what is art?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Look what <strong>Wikipedia <\/strong>says:<br>\u201c<em>Art describes a diverse range of cultural activity centered around works utilizing creative or imaginative talents, which are expected to evoke a worthwhile experience, usually through an expression of emotional power, conceptual ideas, technical proficiency, and\/or beauty.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I build my products like works of art. Inside, it&#8217;s as interwoven with symbols and stories as it is with Easter eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Such as, let&#8217;s examine my Create.ist product.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/create.ist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create.ist<\/a>, the name already contains the \u201c<em>creatist<\/em>\u201d. Creating can be identified with engineering today and in most societies. In the movie Prometheus, he refers to engineers. Prometheus also evokes the knowledge given by the gods to humans in Greek myth. Create.ist is therefore about knowledge. It is a form builder. And form is about getting information, transporting it, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prometheus also depicts turning darkness into light. That&#8217;s why I refer to my life&#8217;s purpose as \u201c<em>moving human civilization forward<\/em>\u201d So nothing is random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even today, we talk about philosophical issues such as whether artificial intelligence can have consciousness. The beauty of engineering started with the Industrial Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gear wheels and steam engines. Perhaps because of this, VALVe named it Steam. Machines. Gear wheels. And the wrench. Nothing random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you examine the design of <a href=\"http:\/\/create.ist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create.ist<\/a>, you will see symmetry and minimalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at another product of mine. I haven&#8217;t added the English option yet, but this is going to be a masterpiece. A product that you will want to fry fish on the barbecue. Simple and impressive.<br>There is no English option, but there will be. If I can, I&#8217;m thinking of adding every language in the world. I think there will be 7200 languages. So\u2026 I mean, why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Say hi to <a href=\"http:\/\/minik.link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Minik.Link<\/a>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a very simple site. Extremely simple. Today, even X, Twitter, is simple. I could make a working demo in an hour or two. But it&#8217;s the elegance in its simplicity&#8230; <em>The deepest truths in the universe are hidden in the simplest rules.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, I didn&#8217;t name it randomly, again I didn&#8217;t make the logo randomly, again I started simple and immediately went into action. But I&#8217;m saving all these compliments for version 2 because people like to be <a href=\"https:\/\/ugurkilci.com\/blog\/kaizen\/\">mesmerized<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such as, I&#8217;m thinking of pricing it at <strong>2.34<\/strong>. I think it&#8217;s fun. I&#8217;m gonna take away the freemium feature. It&#8217;s just gonna be premium. It&#8217;ll be 1 package. Because \u201c<em>Minik (Tiny)<\/em>\u201d has to live up to its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like, a link-shortening site simplifies chaos, right? Why are all the other link-shortening sites so complicated? Why is it so hard to do something simple? Then \u201c<em>shortening<\/em>\u201d is the opposite of what it means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah\u2026 I think like an artist. Creativity. I&#8217;m a product developer. I&#8217;m a designer. I&#8217;m a content creator. I&#8217;m a serial entrepreneur. But I&#8217;m also an artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, that&#8217;s right, I&#8217;m an artist. Art for art&#8217;s sake or art for money.
