When Art Happens
I cannot recall when the last time was that my imagination offered me something
constructive, nor the last it assisted me in any way. I am talking about imagination, not
creativity; creativity is something else — something providing us with intermittent
glimpses of the outside world in its grand and transcendental wholeness. Science is
not able to recount it, the bible cannot either. Art glimpses at it sometimes.
Imagination, on the other hand, is the source of all the anxieties mankind can envision.
It originates inside us but draws inspiration from the outside world in all its smallness
and mundanity.
It is when life has made its cycle once again, that I had the sudden and
eventual impression there is something that is not being said about the world. This is
when I have started questioning the function of imagination in my life. Think about
someone who has been blind for life, getting what they call a sight restoration [we see
things in such a rooted ocularcentric perspective we are not able to understand how
one could live their life without, so we call it restoration]. Think about how this
someone has been acquainted for all this time to being in the delicate world of dim
lights and discreet, insightful touches. Someone who may have developed a wide
dictionary of perceptions us sighted are not in the position to acknowledge, as our
language of colours does not allow even the smallest description of it [as we do not
have “colours” to portray sounds nor to depict smells; and with this I am to mean the
closest possible category to colour that was never developed for the blind’s world].
Think about how this person’s imagination led them to wonder what a sublime thing
the world is, according to their touch and feel. We told them it is even better once they
would have got to see it with their own eyes. The disappointment they might feel when
this happens to become true is limitless. Imagination worked against them, just like it
works against someone who has being seeing for all their lives, but has being
perception-blind for most of it, us sighted for instance. Because imagination is the fruit
of our own thinking, it stays in the box, and never escapes it. It can reach such wide
and profound taste of anxiety within its fields of knowledge — the possible — but it
cannot provide us with insights into something lying outside our perceptive zone,
something we have never experienced. Creativity, instead, is an apparatus that
happens to be there every time we would think outside this box. It just happens.
Creation comes from somewhere inside the world but outside our sheer understanding
of it, imagination from what we think we understand of it. Creativity is uniting and
intact, imagination is fragmented and divorcing.

My concern here is to set up a gap between two concepts, imagination
and creativity, that are unfortunately too often mistook for the same thing. I will start to
make my way within such distinction by talking about Platonism and Neoplatonism
and their conception of the transcendental. I will then jump to the present discussing
how creativity is intended nowadays, proposing few ways we think it is possible to
reach it and eventually presenting the Giorgio Agamben’s philosophy of what is
potential, relating it back to my conception of creativity.
It is with an eager gaze that one looks at the era, during the Italian
Renaissance of fifteen century, in which prominent individuals such as Lorenzo de’
Medici used to endorse artists and thinkers in order to promote themselves and their
ancestries, as well as encouraging the share of fresh creativity and culture within their
dominion. During one of these gatherings (the Neoplatonic Academy taking place in a
Florentine Medicean villa in 1462) Platonic ideas were explored and further
elaborated, making them very influential for Renaissance artists. The rescuing of
classics from the Greek and Roman ages was fuelled by the humanist movement at
the basis of the Renaissance (Pieranti, 2016, pp. 1-16). Such revisitation of
Neoplatonism took inspiration from an already existing analysis of Plato’s texts done
after his death by Plotinus. Neoplatonism aspired to revamp Plato’s theory with a
Catholic twist. In one sense, it backed up the existence of God by establishing him as
the source of platonic ideas — demiurge as originally intended by the philosopher.
In his thorough compendium about the notion of imagination evolving
within the history of philosophy, Richard Kearney presents Plato as following the
Hebraic doctrine in which Adam and Eve were punished for their longing for the
creation of a world of their own; break of the law which caused them living on earth
(1998, p. 39). In this tradition, God has a central position — the one of dictating what
is good and what is not. Mankind’s choice lies in either following God’s plan or not, a
decision taking place inside men’s souls (Kearney, 1998, p. 74) but not yet being
completely arbitrary as always judged in the terms of God’s design. As Kearney
proceeds (1998, p. 82), defining the similarities shared by the Genesis with the
Promethean myth, imagination is for Adam and Eve a way of emulating God’s attitude
as a creator. Because of its artificial origin, however, imagination ‘can never fully
escape the feeling that is merely an imitation of the original act of a divine
maker’ (Kearney, 1998, p. 82). It is stressed here how imagination’s influence on
mankind is a misleading one and how it has been given a negative connotation since it
has ever been talked about.

Plato’s hostility towards the notion of imagination has its roots in distinct
grounds. Just as for the current situation, he found himself in a historic scenario
suffering from a profound decadence, being exacerbated from the philosophic practice
of Sophists and their rhetoric. The latter consisting in the persuasion of others
(Abbagnano and Fornero, 2007, p. 102), or, as argued by the philosopher in his text
Gorgia, the persuasion of those who do not have a strong knowledge on topics they
are taught about (Abbagnano and Fornero, 2007, p. 107). Plato’s pessimistic view of
society and his battle against Sophistic rhetoric brought about his assessment of the
mundane world as detrimental. While for the Hebraic tradition, worldly matters are
significant inasmuch as they follow the laws of God, Plato specifies that everything
belonging to the world as we know it is a particular, in one way corrupted, copy of its
double therefore lacking the aura of originality their doubles own, the latter being part
of the transcendent realm of forms. In such dimension, forms or ideas are in their
purest condition and from them are originated all the particular manifestations existing
on earth. Plato envisages ideas as belonging to a structured composition existing from
eternity whose aim is the common good or common goal (Abbagnano and Fornero,
2007, p. 113). In fact, there is no explicit reference to God in his texts (Abbagnano and
Fornero, 2007, p. 113). Although these were already at the disposal of Renaissance
artists and philosophers, their following reading had a religious perspective because it
took into consideration Plotinus’ Neoplatonic studies of Plato without making
distinctions between the two thinkers (Abbagnano and Fornero, 2007, p. 12).
To return to the Florentine milieu of Medicean villas and Neoplatonic
gatherings, the illustrious artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, not happy with his education,
used to attend Medici’s garden very often; there he could come into direct contact with
an extensive collection of classics (Pieranti, 2016, pp. 1-16). Michelangelo embodied
the ideal Neoplatonic artist, intended as who makes his destiny on his own but whose
fate is also highly influenced by God’s hand (Abbagnano and Fornero, 2007, p. 6-7).
This showed in his body of work with his sculptural practice of the not finished. This
technique was described by Leon Battista Alberti in De Statua (“On Sculpture”), as
peculiar of artists who ‘by removing the superfluous reveal the figure of the man they
want which was hidden within a block of marble’ (Alberti, Grayson and Alberti, 1972, p.
121). As a way of example, Schiavo che si ridesta (“Awakening Slave”) [Fig. 1] is one
of the six statues destined to the Tomb of Pope Julius II. Both the monumental tomb
and the slaves can be considered as partially completed. While the tomb’s
unaccomplishment was caused by an unfortunate sequence of events, the statue
incompleteness is the result of the not finished application. As for both Alberti and
3

Michelangelo, the artist’s duty is to remove the matter so for the transcendental idea to
be able to reveal itself, escaping the cage it is imprisoned into and reaching the purest
ideal form. The Awakening slave is indeed caught in the dynamic act of escaping the
mundane world. It is not a coincidence these statues are called Prisoners - they are
Michelangelo’s attempt to liberate what he felt was the world’s deepest inspiration,
from the matter that already carried this inspiration in itself as potential.

Where is creativity positioned in the world, then? Perhaps it hides at the
end of the night, when things take a distinctive form of hectic, invigorating entirety that
cannot be explained the day after. At three o’clock in the morning [study reports this to
being the most creative hour in the day] we think in the dark, outside the prudent light
usually inhabiting our brains. This sense of togetherness of things keeps growing and
infiltrating our minds at night, not functioning under the rigid rules of daylight. You can
try to bury such sparks of truth, or deem them as infantile. You can as well let them
free to develop while they emerge unexpectedly from somewhere within or outside the
world. As for Kearney (1998, p. 104), Plato gives an account on these ‘moments of
ecstatic vision’ attributing them to the liver’s ability to ‘mirror divine images’ and ‘come
upon truth immediately’ becoming the ‘privileged recipient of divine inspiration’. He
follows, ‘they are at all times involuntary and unpredictable — and this in sharp
contrast with the playful manipulations of the artist or sophist’ (Kearney, 1998, pp.
104-105). Imagination is indeed a “playful manipulation” of the real world, a remix of it
having no quality of novelty to it.
Nowadays, people argue that moments of serendipity as these have
something to do with chance or are something close to the divine. Both Amy Tan
(2008) and Isaac Mizrahi talk in this fashion about creativity in relation to their bodies
of work. Tan describes how every now and then she feels she gets helped from the
universe, illustrating further with the description of coincidences she comes across
when she writes her books (Tan, 2008). Tan cannot explain how sometimes things get
together, as if something was driving them (2008). Mizrahi as well believes that most
of his design ideas are generated by mistake or come from tricks of his eyes (2008). In
fact, sometimes we are provided with ideas by the misjudgment or misinterpretation of
a concept. The wrong understanding of it often seems to be directed at finding
something else and original. Perhaps, it is creativity hiding behind that concept, hinting
in the direction of something else. Perhaps the experience of chance and coincidence
is our way to understand the world as preordained and creativity as a glimpse at the
transcendental.
Additionally, creativity seems to happen more often when the original
framework of ideas is taken out of context and liberated to freely create new
associations within other fields. As the French director Jean-Luc Godard claims in his
filmic self portrait JLG/JLG - autoportrait de décembre (1997), what is created by the
spirit lies within the correlation of two things very distant from one another that
suddenly clash. ‘The more distant and just the relationships between these realities
[…] the stronger the image will be’ (JLG/JLG - autoportrait de décembre, 1997). Also,

Tim Brown (2008) delineates social norms to be the boundaries that adult people
automatically set to themselves when asked of creating, especially when they are
outside their zone of trust. The solution he presents is to subvert such editing we do of
ourselves by acting as quick as possible, having our thinking ‘advanced as a
result’ (Brown, 2008). Alternatively, Adam Grant (2016) defines the act of
procrastination as functional to creativity inasmuch as it makes possible for the mind
to unconsciously elaborate the incubated notion we are after through different “lens”,
within a different environment. All this seems to imply that creativity does not depend
on something we can ever control.
In the society of today, a huge contradiction is reiterated — digital images
and cinema are condemned for their fertile production of conundrums of distrust,
however, imagination is encouraged to flourish even more so. The American scientist
David Bohm (1998, pp. 33-49), in his treatise On Creativity, denounces that the
present state of the art lacks any kind of will in giving a serious analysis of the world
and is, instead, favourable to an infinite playfulness and stimulation leading nowhere.
Similarly, the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, referring to cinema, aims for ‘a new
poetics that denies imagination as a distortion of the here and now’ (Murray, 2010, p.
92). He wants cinema to be taken out of its illusory space of dogmatic narrative, and to
expose itself. The word Dogma from the ancient Greek was to mean “proclaim”,
“thought” and “opinion”. Nowadays it is employed to talk about any form of
unquestionable doctrine. We can associate it, so to speak, with rules abided by the
mainstream cinema. Or we can also think of it as a list of principles, part of a dogmatic
framework, as it is for the Danish movement Dogme 95, founded by Thomas
Vinterberg and Lars Trier. In 1995 the state of the mainstream cinema was not much
different from the stage it is at now — ultimately driven by money and heading towards
aesthetics of virtuality and illusion that are often realised for the sake of themselves.
As a response, Vinterberg and Trier’s Vow of Chastity aimed at bringing cinema back
to a more authentic communication with its audience, denouncing mainstream cinema
to have brought its own ‘cosmetics’ to an unbearable point (Trier and Vinterberg,
1995).
Despite the goal being accomplished only to little extents in the industry
— not counting the many independent’s movies that were created in the name of
Dogme 95 and the influences it had pretty much only on the non-mainstream culture
— the movement’s dogmatic approach could have helped the production of work
outside the norms. Theoretically, as Mette Hjort points out in relation to Dogme 95
creativity or better problem solving could have been highly stimulated by the need to
6

escape the rules Vinterberg and Trier set up to themselves (2003, p. 34). Hjort is
although sceptical about the project’s final realisation, at least for what it concerns
creativity. He believes Dogme 95’s weak points to be its nonfulfillment ‘of the need to
make room for the very indeterminacy that makes choice, and hence creativity,
possible’ (Hjort and MacKenzie, 2003, p. 35). Creativity cannot arise from rules,
whatever the nature of them, nor it can be harvested as a quality, unless it
representing a sensitivity to pay attention to creativity. The rules were not only too
difficult to be followed but they also impeded creativity’s chance of indeterminacy to
manifest.
Given these points, we can try to free our sensitivity up to creativity so
when it goes past us we are apt to internalise it or, on the other hand, we can nourish
creativity by drawing attention away from it, by letting go of things and hoping to see
them coming back later in a different anatomy. Within this latter line of thought, in his
self portrait Godard compares art to fire, because — just like the phoenix — ‘it is born
from what it burns’ (JLG/JLG - autoportrait de décembre, 1997). This hints at the
certain level of forgetfulness artists necessitate in order to create. The undesirable
antithetical scenario is well explained by Jorge Luis Borges in his short novel Funes el
memorioso. In his novella the Argentine writer talks about a man who, by way of an
accident, happen to remember every single detail of every single thing surrounding
him in every very moment they were perceived. By remembering everything Funes is
‘almost incapable of general, platonic ideas’ (Borges et al., 1994, p. 114). In other
words, a dog in a certain position at a certain time for Funes does not represent the
same dog of the following second in the very same position (Borges et al., 1994, p.
114). Eventually, by not being able of leaving things behind he is not able to think and
make sense of them because the only remembering of each stage will take him all his
time.
A second insight coming from Godard’s self portrait, is the conception of
art to be found in the exception, not in the rule (JLG/JLG - autoportrait de décembre,
1997). With imagination, on the contrary, we need to be aware of it as a product of
culture, operating within it and being part of the very process of rational reasoning only
applicable to what is known. In this sense, Plato only has a positive portrayal of
imagination and images when they are used as an illustration that helps to grasp the
real. In Kearney’s words, when images serve ‘as instrumental means for mediating
between our sensible experience and our rational intelligence’ but do not represent an
end in themselves (Kearney, 1998, pp. 99-100). Accordingly, David Bohm claims
imagination to be deceptive at worst and to be ‘conductive to its own pleasure,
7

comfort, and superficial satisfaction’ at best, especially when it is employed as an end
in itself (Bohm and Nichol, 1998, p. 4). In the analysis of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s
notions of primary imagination and fancy imagination, Bohm describes the former as a
type of creativity whose inspiration does not come directly from perception nor
memory, as it is for the latter; fancy imagination is in fact influenced mainly by memory
and social conventions, he continues (Bohm and Nichol, 1998, pp. 41-42). However,
by the combination or re-mix of things taken from the material world, imagination will
never provide with something that is not the exact copy of it. Or else, something being
so distant from the world to be deemed unreadable. Let’s take a collage of
photographs as an example. There, the so called liberty of expression eventually
results in a technical titillation — an overwhelming climax of reality, therefore turning
back to the rigidity it was to avoid.
To get back to the introductory discourse about blindness, imagination is
the reason why, being most of the world’s population sighted, the vocabulary of
perceptions beyond vision has never been explored nor expanded within the language
of words. Because it stayed still within its box, to put it another way. It is the reason
why we are so scared of becoming blind — because imagination would never mutate
from its well established position and it would remind us of how mesmerising things
were in their visual form, not making us forgetting and appreciating the new one. In
fact, the opposite is also true about blind people becoming sighted, as reported by
Oliver Sachs in his study of a blind born who had his sight restored. After an initial
moment of delight ‘a devastating (and even lethal) depression can ensue’ (Sacks,
1995, p. 131). He continues, ‘it became clear that the opportunities [sight] afforded him
were less than he had imagined’ (Sacks, 1995, p. 131) to eventually end up with Virgil
— the blind born — overwhelmed by the difficulties in finding a new way of functioning
within the world of lights. A month after the restoration, ‘he felt more disabled than he
had felt when he was blind’ (Sacks, 1995, p. 114), so that he found a way to go back
to his previous state. Imagination is divorcing because it leads to the non-acceptance
of the self in its weaknesses conversely leading to wanting a hyper self. Someone we
will never be. In darkness blind people can see. So we need to ask ourselves whether
we still need to consider them disabled or perhaps understand that they can consider
themselves ordinary, as Sachs puts it, and realise that us calling them disabled
embodies a proportion of our own fears projected onto them through our imagination.
With this in mind, I find myself in agreement with the solution advanced
by David Bohm in his monograph on creativity. Particularly, within his conception of art
intended as in its Proto-Indo-European etymology of “to join, put together” (Bohm and
8
6 June 2016
Giacomo Goldoni
London College of Communication
Nichol, 1998, p. 82). Bohm wishes that artists, as well as scientists, could escape their
small fields of expertise to try and perceive the world in its totality, for them to develop
skills in understanding of ‘how things fit or do not fit’ (Bohm and Nichol, 1998, p. 82). In
a world — ours — in which everything we need to know about ourselves seems to be
contained inside our DNA, how can we think of creating something new? Perhaps we
just need to discover it within what we have, aligning our mind and souls to the noise
the world does not produce, the colours it does not manifests, the smells it does not
stink of. To align our hearts to the totality of it instead of its fragmented mixture. As
Bohm concludes, the act of creative perception ‘must evidently be intrinsically
unknown and indefinable, not capable of being attributed to some particular faculty
that may be involved in perception’ (Bohm and Nichol, 1998, p. 56). About science and
its relation with art, he describes the process of achieving an idea for the scientist as
something he ‘may “feel” stirring in him in ways that are difficult or impossible to
verbalise […] like very deep and sensitive probes reaching into the unknown’ (Bohm
and Nichol, 1998, p. 37). Everything is already there, but just a little bit further than we
can grasp. It is potential, but not actual and perhaps this quality of non-actuality is
significant to stay as it is for it to arise.
In relation to what was previously said about creativity originating from
procrastination, it is interesting how it links back to Giorgio Agamben’s philosophy. In
Agamben’s essay On Contingency there is a passage in which the Italian philosopher
takes the analysis of God’s potentiality in the terms of potentiality and impotentiality
Aristotle provided us with, and defines God as someone with unlimited potentiality in
himself, but with no potentiality in his will (1999, p. 253). In fact, ‘If God had the
potential to be, he could also not be, which would contradict his eternity. On the other
hand, if God [was] capable of not wanting what he wants […] then this would be
equivalent to introducing a principle of nihilism into God’ (Agamben and HellerRoazen, 1999, p. 253). God’s will is therefore devoid of potentiality because he is only
capable of doing what he wants, which is being. Agamben continues describing the
act of creation as the act of diving into the nothing from which God created the world,
understanding our own impotentiality, then ‘annihilating this Nothing and letting
something, from Nothing, be’ (Agamben and Heller-Roazen, 1999, p. 253). In this
perspective, mankind has a pure form of potentiality but is capable only insofar lacks
in its will (Agamben and Heller-Roazen, 1999, p. 254). Such potentiality of creation
from the void is not unaccomplished, quite the opposite, it is the ability of willing
nothing, or in Agamben’s eyes the formula of potentiality. We need to want nothing to
be able to come out with something.

Agamben’s metaphor for the condition of impotentiality, or the potential of
not seeing in this case, is represented by us closing our eyes, but being still able to
distinguish shadows and lights just like the blind (Agamben and Heller-Roazen, 1999,
pp. 180-181). Agamben’s legitimate conclusion aims at our acknowledgment of the
fact that because we can experience darkness then we know the existence of light in
its pure potential. In my own understanding of it, in the moment when we close our
eyes to not see, neglecting our potentiality of seeing, something is yet always being
seen. The shadows of lights happen to be there because it is impossible for us to
perceive nothing. Thus, while God - or whatsoever creation was to happen — they
could not choose to either happen or not because in the end they did. Mankind’s
potentially has a freed will about its potential fate. This despite our fate being already
written as part of the creator’s will and already manifested itself through us. In this
regard, Elizabeth Balskus has an interpretation of Agamben’s example of Bartleby the
scrivener that leads back to the idea of procrastination, and of letting go of things as
crucial for creation. She compares the fact that for Bartleby the best writings would
emerge from not wanting to write anything specific, to the piano performance by Glenn
Gould. By not playing the piano for long time and thanks to the ‘the skill and technique
acquired by not playing’ it, the performance of Bach by Gould would have resulted
better than any other (Balskus, 2010, p. 165) in Balskus’s opinion.
There is a sense of impotentiality about art and philosophy that I love.
Everything can be said and developed within it, changing every single time for each
different person. Their understanding is deemed to the potentiality of their not
understanding or within the nurture of their wrong understanding [the full grasping of a
concept lies often in the missed comprehension of a different one]. I do believe that
one day you will get a glimpse of what you are going to write, paint, film or photograph
before they will really be there. And suddenly you will understand — because that form
of art will be existing outside you, causing you to chase it until it becoming actual in
your experience. This essay cannot have a conclusion. I will get to see it, suddenly, at
the end. When it will it manifest. My own completion lies already in every word I chose
to put after the other, and nowhere within them. This is why I am going to leave it in a
potential state. Just as Bartleby, I simply prefer not to
