“The fundamental aspect of video is not the image, even though you can stand in amazement at what can be done electronically, how images can be manipulated and the really extraordinary creative possibilities. For me the essential basis of video is the movement - something that exists at the moment and changes in the next moment.” DoneMomentsNextCreativeMovementPossibilityEssentialsAspectBasesFundamentalsExtraordinaryVideoAmazement Author:Bill Viola
“Build pockets of stillness into your life. Meditate. Go for walks. Ride your bike going nowhere in particular. There is a creative purpose to daydreaming, even to boredom. The best ideas come to us when we stop actively trying to coax the muse into manifesting and let the fragments of experience float around our unconscious mind in order to click into new combinations. Without this essential stage of unconscious processing, the entire flow of the creative process is broken.” TryingMindIdeasMotivationalPurposeOrderProcessWalksCreativeStageParticularBrokenEssentialsFlowCombinationBoredomUnconsciousPocketsManifestStillnessCreative ProcessMuseBikeFragmentsFloatsDaydreamingClicksProcessingUnconscious Mind Author:Maria Popova
“I am not talking about rebelliousness, but giving people time for constructive internal reflection and even daydreaming. A lot of research is suggesting that the more that you demand people's external attention, the less chance you are allowing them to dip into the default mode where daydreams and reflection happen - and lot of great ideas are not going to come from the brute force of work but from personal life experience. Mind-wandering seems to be essential to the creative process, and I don't think a lot of businesses are aware of that fact.” PeopleThinkingGivingMindIdeasFactsSeemsHappensForceProcessChanceAttentionTalkingCreativeDemandEssentialsResearchReflectionWanderInternalsAllowingLife ExperienceCreative ProcessPersonal LifeConstructiveBrutesGreat IdeaDaydreamingNot TalkingDefaultSuggestingDipBrute Force Author:Scott Barry Kaufman

“Creativity shouldn't be seen as something otherworldly. It shouldn't be thought of as a process reserved for artists and inventors and other 'creative types.' The human mind, after all, has the creative impulse built into its operating system, hard-wired into its most essential programming code. At any given moment, the brain is automatically forming new associations, continually connecting an everyday x to an unexpected y.” MindHumansHardMomentsArtistGivenProcessBrainCreativityCreativeTypeEssentialsBuiltEverydayImpulseCodeProgrammingUnexpectedHuman MindAssociationConnectingInventorReservedOperating Systems Book:Proust Was a Neuroscientist Source: Proust Was a Neuroscientist

“The essential in artistic creativity is victory over the burden of necessity. In art, man lives outside himself, outside his burdens, the burdens of life. Every creative artistic act is a partial transfiguration of life. In the artistic concept man breaks out through the heaviness of the world.
