ArTEEtude Episode 247 - Detlef Schlich takes listeners on an enlightening journey into the evolutionary roots of human creativity

I’m excited to share the latest episode of the ArTEEtude podcast with all of you! In this episode, we dive deep into the evolutionary origins of human creativity. Have you ever wondered why humans are uniquely creative compared to other species? This episode explores how creativity evolved as a key survival tool, driving not only our ability to innovate but also our capacity to form complex social bonds and cultural practices.

Here’s what we cover:

The role of creativity in human evolution and its impact on survival and social cohesion.

How early humans used creativity to develop tools, language, and art, laying the foundation for complex civilizations.

The brain networks—Default Mode Network (DMN), Executive Control Network (ECN), and Salience Network—that evolved to support creative thinking.

The ongoing importance of creativity in modern times, from technological innovation to social change.

Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognized for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.
