The Interconnected Roles of Creatives and Consumers in Work and Consumption
Exploring how creators and consumers intersect, blurring traditional distinctions and emphasizing the entrepreneurial aspects of creativity.
Good luck going anywhere today without running into a message about creativity.
I was going to say, "anywhere online," but really, it's just about anywhere. We get creative in the kitchen. Creative in our workouts. Creative in bed. And of course, creative at work. Creativity is somewhat of a "cult object," as Samuel Franklin put it in his cultural history of creativity.
Today, I want to get uncomfortably close to that cult object and ask, "What is our fascination with creativity hiding?" So join me as I venture onto the third rail of the 21st-century economy.
