Why Curiosity Is Important

How does curiosity contribute to someone’s brilliance? Why is it important? There are two reasons I can think of:

1. It gives you a fresh perspective. Most people have just one or two lenses to see a problem through, but curious people have many different lenses. As a result, they can see something that many other people can’t. 

2. It gives you fresh ideas. Using the term from The Medici Effect, curiosity gives you Intersection experience where concepts from different fields collide with one another and produce fresh ideas. Since curious people get more Intersection experience, they consequently get more fresh ideas.

 As part of our feedback from the Kin midway, our questions that we posed were looked at with great interest and Matt (frm Kin) said there was evidence that they were human and hadn’t been asked by a machine, how the ‘silly’ questions are the most humane.
It is the human relationship side of objects that interests us and fuels that curiosity.
We had uncovered a hole in how the museum collects the information and from this we can explore the need to know more….

After a very painful and backward day yesterday, we were so very lucky to have a tutorial, personally i thought it was the breaking point for me.
As we were struggling with trying to move forward and not able to really agree on anything we ended up taking everything we could from the tutor’s advice.
He said that we have such a lovely and interesting project and this comparison between formal and informal information is something. Looking back at the questions (mentioned above) he suggested that we possibly create some sort of book/family pack for the visitor to engage with the objects and collections more.
