Experiments in Creativity
with Dave Birss

Dave Birss
the creative experimenter

I’ve lived most of my life in the creative industries. I’ve been an advertising creative director, a musician, a standup comedian, a breakfast show host, a poet and a graffiti artist. Now I’m an author, an artist, an educator and a public speaker. But above all, I’m an experimenter.
I explore the evolving intersections of creativity and technology, learning everything I can so I can share what I find with others.
I ask the questions others aren’t thinking about. I challenge the assumptions most people simply accept. And I share the learnings others haven’t discovered yet.
Sharing the learnings
I share what I discover in different ways. Choose what works best for you.

Some creative experiments
I’ve conducted lots of creative experiments.
I did a study to see if alcohol makes you more creative. I broke down my day-to-day habits to find out if it improved my ideas. I taught my left hand to draw. And lots more.
You can find out more about some of these experiments in my books and videos.
And you’ll find some more recent experiments in my blog:
