Curiosity is the sister of creativity. This is not a "both-sides" issue. We have this myth that scholarly success is all about brilliance and creativity, but in fact 90% of it is getting shit done, same as any other job.
The shower represents a moment of tranquility, but also an unexpected opportunity to generate creative ideas. Seth Godin writes that we have lost a lot of our childlike curiosity, the shower is however the place to be wildly creative.
In the past, an artwork was a fixed thing, but they now weigh next to nothing and rarely interact with anything. We need models that explain how small perturbations can lead to wild effects. How to be inventive in a systemic way? Playful works invite questioning but offer no direct answers.
Scientists have one thing in common with children : curiosity. To be a good scientist you must have kept this trait of childhood, and perhaps it not easy to retain just one trait. A scientist has to be curious like a child; perhaps one can understand that there are other childish features he hasn't grown out of it: be disruptive. An art critic argues that ours is the least innovative century for the arts in 500 years.
This results from your mind's innate desire for novelty. For millions of years, we evolved in an environment where conserving pursuing novel things was highly advantageous to our survival.
Each simple image is a narrative that tells a story to construct a whimsical world, full of absurdity and uncertainty. It takes a very long time to become young.
Pablo Picasso
Counting papers is a great way to measure whether a scientist puts ambition ahead of curiosity, scientific rigor and the quest for knowledge and understanding is a wise quote from Aaron Blaisdell. An awful lot of research is never read, let alone cited.
The cure for boredom is curiosity, but there is no cure for curiosity and experimentation in art said Hector Corbelet.
Innovation kills the cat; vanity kills the art. For ego-driven mankind "to err is human".
Don't hang your hat on these numbers just yet, the deeper inquisitive artists look, the more they will find there is to see.
Scientific progress is a cumulative process of uncertainty reduction that can only succeed if curiosity and passion for uncovering the unknown remains the greatest drive. Shower time brings out green-eyed elephant.
There are no bad art, only quasi-artists, because, the art world is not just a spectrum within cases that ends at an obvious cutoff point. That's not a thing.
What happens next is anyone’s guess.
Bottom line is practically nonexistent. We all want to feel someone is interested in us.
