A common dance! |
From: Jogi Panghaal (10/12/1999 19:27:00)
My recent attempts have been to evolve a common platform or a connecting language between the artisans, users of their services and designers so that a new creative, sustainable dynamic emerges for making of both product or services. Key to this, I suspect is the notion of play. I feel that a playful platform is what would create, using Hillel's term, a dancing dialogue between the three players (artisan-user and designer) It is through play that a created entity shifts its centres from an artisan's body to the body of the object and then on/into the body of the user. What is the 'gross domestic play' in a society might well be an important measure of our well being in the coming century.
