The Power and Myth of Creativity

31 Aug 2016, 11:00-14:30

What is creativity? Which myths are associated with it?

This Break Out Session at Forum Alpbach 2016 seeks to shed light on the topic from the viewpoints of art, philosophy and neuroscience; further, aiming for a definition that includes the latest scientific findings, the expectations towards creativity, its ascribed capabilities and applications.

Interview

In Conversation with François Jullien Making Ambiguity Fertile is the Present Mission of Thought

At this stage of the “just before”, of the potential, the ambiguous, the non-separation – the work of art avoids to come about, to take place because if it takes place, it is only this and not as well that anymore, it becomes exclusive. The great oeuvre keeps itself at work, because it keeps itself at this stage of the “just before”, “upstream” of a definitive actualisation, which would follow its definition.

Spatial Confusion. Episodes from the Experimental History of Vertigo

Keeping our bodily balance is a continuous performance, including the effort to keep the erect posture against gravity. However, since this performance remains strictly subliminal we become aware of the state of equilibrium only in the event of disruption: in the very moment we loose our balance, stumble and fall, or more generally, when the relation between the body and the surrounding world is irritated, disturbed, or interrupted as it is characteristic in the state of vertigo.

Taumel – On the Borders of the Unknown

25 Apr - 26 Apr 2015

The end of the extent of our knowledge defines the borders of our world as we know it. Since the concept of the world as a plate, right up to the discovery of the existence of dark matter, this has not changed.
