Why are you creative?
"Why are you creative?" - this simple, and at the same time difficult, question which Hermann Vaske has been asking creative people. It is also the leitmotif of all of his documentaries and books.
And logically of his website, created by German agency Jung von Matt. Wim Wenders and Dennis Hopper, alongside Hermann Vaske, lead through the site as hosts. Using this Web presence, other, not (yet) famous creative individuals can become part of the so called Emotional Network through the 'Why are you creative?' Web awards. 
Photo: Any visitor can give his or her personal answer to this pivotal question; an international jury gives out awards to the most creative answers. Vaske's book 'Why Are You Creative?' also explores the genius behind some of the world's most creative people. They were invited to express the roots of their creative drive, by answering this question through interviews and graphic representation.

Photo: Tony Kay is a controversial conceptual artist whose specialty in what he terms 'hype art' includes hiring the homeless to wander world-class museums as pieces of art themselves, and taking out prominent newspaper advertisements proclaiming in no uncertain terms that. The multimedia website really shows different views of being creative: a must see for every creative! The graphical design functionally supports the creative message. Very nice work, Jung von Matt! |
