"While scientific intelligence tends to be conceived as a process of discovery directed and controlled by the scientist, artistic creativity tends to be perceived as moments of creation dependent of that diffuse thing called inspiration. These associations, at the same time, imply an image of the scientist as active in their search, with the artist being presented as a passive receptor. This opposition between intellectually active (responsible, controlling, rational, absolutely aware) scientists and intellectually passive (erratic, effortless, led by irrational impulses, subjected to randomness) artists lies behind the opposition intelligence / creativity presented at the beginning."
