A lot has been written about the interplay of Innovation and Design these days. While I find the discussion spirited I also feel annoyed about the self-centered tone tone and direction. I think I will post about it at a later stage. In the meantime you might want to start the intellectual getaway here at Bruce Nussbaum’s BW blog as well as reading my posting on Michael Beirut’s criticism on DMI’s Innovation forum.
After all it’s weekend time and I want to get away from all the buzz about Innovation and Design. Earlier this week I came across a nice news headline : “Creativity linked to sexual success”. Thanks to Timo Off I’ve discovered the original source of the study conducted by the Psychologists at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and the Open University. Timo refers to Renee Hopkins Callahan at Corante who as well comments on the study which found out that “… professional artists and poets have about twice as many partners as other people.”
Even though I’m clearly distinguishing between the work of Artists and Designers they both belong to the group of creatives. Interestingly “The study also showed that the average number of sexual partners increased as creative output went up. What the artists produce draws attention to them, which seems to enhance their sexual allure.”
Shall we open another thread in the community … ? Have a creative weekend ;-)
