Toni Morrison once lamented that people have been taught to think of a book as a mirror, when it ought to be a door. All great storytelling — be it a novel or a poem, a film or a song — enchants us precisely because it swings open the door to a world distinctly other than our own, whose very otherness clarifies ours, returns us to it magnified and annealed. To be able to build such a world, to…
The question sounds almost too simple: where does art come from? Yet the answer has eluded critics, philosophers, and curious readers for centuries. Adam Moss, the legendary editor behind New York magazine’s most celebrated era, spent years obsessing over exactly that question. The result is The Work of Art: How Something Comes from Nothing—a book […]

In 1964, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago handed 31 of its students an hour, a sheet of paper, and a long table covered in oddities: grapes, a gearshift, a glass prism, an old book, and 23 other items chosen by two researchers in the next room. — Read the rest

In a recent conversation with my poetic physicist friend Alan Lightman, sparring over whether the creative spirit can be usefully divided into complementary arts and science (Alan’s view) or whether these are simply different side doors to our ongoing yearning to bridge matter and mystery in order to make meaning (my view), I was reminded of a forgotten speech by one of the most original minds…

Failure hurts. That much is obvious. But neuroscience is telling us something else — something designers, artists, writers, and creative professionals rarely hear: your brain is built to learn from failure in ways it literally cannot learn from success. The neurobiological machinery that kicks in when a creative project collapses, a concept gets rejected, or […]

For many of us, the greatest hurdle to a successful long-form campaign isn’t the rules or the world-building, but the relentless, anxious chatter of the GM’s own mind.
