The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife, exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential.

Don’t be cool

Cool is conservative fear dressed in black. Free yourself from limits of this sort.

Slow down

Desynchronize from standard time frames and surprising opportunities may present themselves.

Keep Moving

The market and its operations have a tendency to reinforce success. Resist it. Allow failure and migration to be part of your practice.

— The computer is the only allowed design tool — Make use of a predefined grid — It's not allowed to use black — Add an icon, logo, symbol to your design — The image needs to be shocking in some kind of way

Everyone is a leader

Growth happens. Whenever it does, allow it to emerge. Learn to follow when it makes sense. Let anyone lead.

Begin anywhere

John Cage tells us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice: begin anywhere.

Drift

admin — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:24:18 +0000

Allow yourself to wander aimlessly. Explore adjacencies. Lack judgment. Postpone criticism.

Study

A studio is a place of study. Use the necessity of production as an excuse to study. Everyone will benefit.

Capture accidents

The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question. Collect wrong answers as part of the process. Ask different questions.

Go deep

The deeper you go the more likely you will discover something of value.

Love your experiments(as you would an ugly child)

admin — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:26:23 +0000

Joy is the engine of growth. Exploit the liberty in casting your work as beautiful experiments, iterations, attempts, trials, and errors. Take the long view and allow yourself the fun of failure every day.

Process is more importantthan outcome

admin — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:24:37 +0000

When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we’ve already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going, but we will know we want to be there.

Forget about good

Good is a known quantity. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as you stick to good you’ll never have real growth.

Allow events to change you

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:11:28 +0000

You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.
