how to make mistakes on purpose

is often described as a creativity workshop. but trying to be creative works about as well as trying to be charming. 

this workshop is a party, an idea generator, and a powerful painkiller.

making mistakes? everyone who hears that says, “oh, i’m already quite good at that.” ah, if this were only true. it’s not. i’ll bet you are highly skilled. and when you get good at something, you repeat it. it’s satisfying to know it will turn out just right. what’s wrong with that? lots. because shared tastes and experiences, plus digital technology equal no surprises. and we need surprises to move onward and upward!

here, there’s no time to worry about doing a good thing- just do a lot of things without thinking about results.. and the results can be BRILLIANT!

sometimes not trying works better than trying.

here’s a 4 minute clip that shows why our highly organized, digital world needs a bit of a shakeup, and how to do it. sabotage!  

why should i spend 2 hours on this? because it brings bored, alienated people together to come up with newness and brainwaves while they laugh out loud. because it’s a whole lot of fun. if you think there’s a better reason, think again.

computers don’t make mistakes. big mistakes like velcro, champagne, and coca cola.
