Completely agree -- but isn't internalization of their art (i.e. memorization) needed to achieve this subconscious creativity?

That's the point I'm trying to make at least -- that unintentional creativity stems from learning, which at it's core is memorization




Well said - what's funny is that many creative ideas (from an outside perspective) are often very simple connections of two existing ideas for the person that actually did something creative! It's just that other people don't have the same context/knowledge as the creator, so an idea can seem extremely original to them
