Are creativity and freedom inextricably linked? In today’s episode, Creativity Squared host Helen Todd answers a listener’s question on the relationship between freedom and constraints in the creative process. As we enter the Imagination Age, please accept this as your invitation to play in the playground of possibility. Exploring this brave new world requires nuanced conversations around what it means to be human and what this collective future we’re co-authoring together looks and feels like. We need human creativity and imagination now more than ever to break free from the patterns of the past that no longer serve us. And that’s why we’re diving into this listener question.     In this episode, we'll explore: Does creativity flourish more with scarcity or with freedom? Can A.I. or GenAI match human creativity? How are artists collaborating with personal language models? What does Burning Man have to do with this? Tune in now to gain valuable insights as Helen reflects on thought-provoking conversations with previous Creativity Squared guests Harry Yeff (Episode 1), Jason Schneider (Episode 23), Martin Groedl and Moritz Resl (Episode 32), Claire Silver (Episode 34), Yemi A.D. (Episode 49), and Lori Mazor (Episode 52). What are your reactions, thoughts, comments and/or questions on this topic or any other at the intersection of A.I. and creativity?
