I’ve been reading Creativity: The Perfect Crime by Philippe Petit, a great book emphasizing a drastically different approach to creativity from the perspective of a high-wire walker. In the book, he writes an entire chapter about how he approaches both chaos and order in his creative process. As a creative, I understand order, but I never really considered the benefits of chaos. As I become more mature in my career, the less I want to deal with the chaotic: the unknown, the disconnected, and the nonlinearity that is our digital and hyper-connected world.
