The Production of Creativity (Lecture Today)

The Production of Creativity: An Artist's View of the Rise of "Creative Work"
Kevin Hamilton
Wednesday, September 26, 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.
2405 Siebel Center, 201 N. Goodwin Ave., Urbana
Why wouldn't any of our practices be improved by being more creative? Yet as a conveyor of added value, creativity serves a broad and necessarily conflicted range of purposes. For example, my "creative" (original) solution may not be "creative" (innovative) enough for one fellow researcher, and not "creative" (productive) enough for another.
Within and across our disciplines, are our different approaches and uses for creativity made more or less apparent by the quick deployment of the term? What are the promises and perils of research where funding and recognition are tied to creativity as a value? This multimedia presentation will seek to provoke discussion and debate through a survey of current approaches, conflicts, and opportunities.
