Definition-creativity:
4 (not 5?) different conceptions of creativity are out there:

  1. Manhattan Project version: clever people -> you organise & structure them -> together they achieve what nobody alone would be able to achieve -> record industry model -> producers -> the maestro behind it -> they should earn 90%
  2. The mad genius: all in his head
  3. Genius in the community: the community creates together -> Mississippi blues delta
  4. The jam session: “Rather than the individual genius there is the synthesis of things that happens when you get ??? people together in a rather unstructured free form kind of way.
  5. The live event: never to be repeated, will never be the same again -> you were there, you were part of the magic

Young people think 5. is what is creative. => There will be a shift. It’s not about perfection, it’s about being live and real.
“A younger generation, they think creativity is something messy, something that happens in the field, that they can talk about because they were there, they were part of it. And it’s actually reconfiguring the notion of creativity.”

About the author

Woitek Konzal

Producer, Consultant, Lecturer & Researcher. I love working where technology meets media in novel ways. Once, I even won an Emmy for digital innovation doing that. Be it for a small but exciting campaign about underground electronic music collectives or for a monster project combining two movies, various 360° videos, 72 ARG-like mini puzzles, and a Unity game, all wrapped up in one cross-platform app – I have proven my ability to adapt to what is required. This passion for novel technologies has regularly allowed me to cross paths with tech startups – an industry and philosophy I am all set to engage with more. I intensely enjoy balancing out my practical work with academic research, teaching, and consulting. Also, I have a PhD in Creative Industries, a M.Sc. in Business Administration, and love to kitesurf.
