Imaginação e intuição no processo da inventiva

Abstract

This work comes from the observation of daily creativity in improvised inventories, adaptations to the needs and "gambiarras". It considers that in the course of human evolution, an aura linked to the traditional sciences has been created, putting it as the only key to all the answers and disregarding, as important, the imaginative and intuitive side. As a consequence, the environments in which we transit do not favor the flow and the fruition of ideas, and the individual may feel blocked to the point of not being able to shape the inventions. Thus, this work begins in an investigation in creativity and intelligence, exploring the historical evolution of its concepts and their points in common. In addition, it addresses the relevance of the influence of emotional, intuitive and imaginative aspects in the development of a project and in the resolution of problems. The research on Bazarian's (1986) heuristic intuition, Bonfantini's (2007) inventive process, Csikszentmihaly's (1990) flow experience and De Masi's (2000) creative idleness, show that the access to these questions is often due to unconscious knowledge. It is assumed that, to generate innovative artifacts, we must allow imagination and heuristic intuition to work together with rational and methodological processes. In this way, a parallel is drawn between these concepts in order to analyze and understand how the creative process takes place from a point of view of the designer in the search for the understanding of the interaction between person and artefact. Thus, it is proposed, as an immersive cut, a rehearsal of what can be a creative moment in a larger context, offering, inside an interactive installation format, a multisensory experience that allows contact the imagination and self-intuitive tools, through an interface that allows visual creations and sound syntheses.
