Kafka & Art - a new day for learning?

An experimental documentary of a personal and creative journey
Recent research supports the rationale that art that pushes the boundaries of what is known and ushers in new mental models may be just the thing to help teach the masses to apply new mental models.

In the new book I am co-authoring with Ron "The Inner World of Innovation" I explore how new mental models emerge and take shape. In that process I am also producing the body of work and collaborations that have ushered in the realization of Cultural Fusion Art as Philosophy.

Why now? Because it is necessary for us to develop new ways of approaching learning, economics and growth. I believe it was Einstein who said (and I will paraphrase) we can't use the same thinking we used to create a problem to fix them...and art is more important that knowledge because art embraces the world.

New research suggest that exposure to bizarre, surreal storylines such as Kafka's "The Country Doctor" can improve learning. Apparently, when your brain is presented with total absurdity or nonsense, it will work extra hard to find structure elsewhere.
