Can you quantify creativity? Or make sense of what goes on in a radical mind?
Get ready for some awesome experiential brainstorming .
Steve Job once mentioned, ‘When you ask creative people how they did they do something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things’ .
In this workshop, we would be toying with a do-it-yourself version of a light and shadow game called Bulby. The concept is around light shadows and combinations, which makes it independent of ethnography and hence perfect for a universal crowd. Check – www.designplaystore.com
