YOUR CREATIVE SUMMER REMIX


Marcel Duchamp directs a life-size chess game in the summer of 1956.

Hello from Spain!

I’m on vacation for the next week and wanted to give you a remix of good articles (mine and from others) that will keep you digging about the creative process, thinking about exciting projects and hopefully inspiring you to take action now or in the near future.

1. If you suffer from procrastination, feel trapped inside a creative block or think that you can’t come up with great ideas, putting yourself on a deadline is always a good idea.

2. Or maybe get yourself a rival?

3. Summer is the perfect season to indulge in daydreaming and let your imagination run the show.

4. Also, summertime presents a great opportunity to engage in games, which boosts your creativity regardless of what you play.

5. Ever wondered how creative you are? Here’s a quick test that gives you an approximation.

6. The topic of artificial intelligence and creativity is one that comes up often and this is a good article that tackles it in a straightforward way, showing how humans can channel existing and future resources in their creative endeavors.

7. I also wrote about the art and business of AI here.
