Eyebeam fellow Nova Jiang, along with artist Jacob Tonski, recently hosted the first in a series of workshop events intended to motivate (and expedite) the creative process, condensing the period of creation that would under most circumstances span a few months into just 10 hours. By distilling the creative process into a mechanized effort, the Creatomatic tries to demystify the process through which innovative ideas occur, and to some degree disassemble the myth of the creative artist, while simultaneously affirming the human capacity to adapt to changing circumstances and generate meaning from seemingly unrelated signs.
