ITS Contest 2013
The Physics of Creativity

ITS Contest 2013 steps into the livefeed arena with the launch of a live streaming of all ITS-related SN content. The juries see, among others, the presence of stylist Nicola Formichetti, fashion editor and owner of 10 Corso Como Carla Sozzani and japanese designer Yasuhiro Mihara. The edition is characterised by the concept “The Physics of Creativity”, which ideally tries to pin down scientifically what it means to be creative.

ITS Contest 2013

Concept

The Physics of Creativity

The 12th edition of ITS is science applied to creativity. Science in the most comprehensive sense: it is physics, it is mathematics, it is chemistry; it basically is whatever it takes to rationalize, to explain, to calculate, to theorize. It is hard-core Positivism, pushed to the limits, striving to measure, to connect, to catalog creativity. A paradoxical and surreal task, an impossible mission, an operation so dumb and so brilliant at the same time. ITS 2013 gets nerdy, and becomes the “Physics of Creativity Research Institute”, a scientific institution devoted to study the phenomena and find the fundamental laws of creativity.
