One of the most eye-opening experiences of my life took place one afternoon in Amsterdam, in the summer of 1990. A hundred years after the death of Vincent van Gogh, his paintings had been gathered from collections across the globe, for a specacular Centenary Exhibition in the Van Gogh Museum. Such was the demand for tickets that I had to buy mine two days in advance.

I had a sense of déjà vu when I read the recent New York Times article 'Genius: The Modern View' by David Brooks - it echoed so many of the themes we've been discussing here on Lateral Action that I could almost have written it myself: The key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine spark.

The talk has evidently touched a chord - as well as being enthusiastically received at TED, the video has been been viewed, downloaded re-posted and discussed countless times

Image by Marcie Vargas. I see lots of things that no one else does. Some of them are even really there. I get a lot of my ideas by looking at things and wondering "what isn't it," or "what didn't I see?" For instance, the other day I was out at a friend's studio and noticed a bunch of birds hanging out on a telephone wire, the way they tend to do… And I thought "hmmm… if you could train those birds to sit where you pointed, you could make them be an abacus.".

A bit like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. So it was hard to get my head around the idea that all those films were the brainchild of one man.
