Notes on CSo.

As the name imply the Creative Society is a society of creative individuals. Forget the industrial model of the assembly line automaton worker who has forsaken his humanity to become a cog of the gear. Leave Taylorism and Fordism to China. Put instead individuals extending and completing themselves through work and materialization of their imagination in a creation fostering environment.

What are some of the implications of this production paradigm? Conformity is not welcomed. Governments need to locate, target and support creative individuals and innovative ideas. Enterprises are built around creative collectives (see Genius as Collective Enterprise). Merchandise and objects are highly individualized in order to satisfy the needs of a sophisticated costumer.  In a reversal of Adolf Loos' proposition, craft and decoration takes an important place in the final product.
