Live Brainstorming Session
Angelique van Engelen

     In Berlin a restaurant opens for anorexics and in Buffalo a lawyer with a stutter wins a court case.

 

 

 


     When everything you're working on has gone stale and your own initially promising concepts are starting to annoy you, you need a brainstorming session to get to the missing bits or new ideas

     The papers provide ample ideas for jump starts
     A stutterer in a court case or an anorexic going to a restaurant that has opened especially for them must have no problems with ideas to keep them going for at least two weeks after their memorable experiences
     Brainstorming is trix galore, right? Really, you're doing nothing new
     Our mind plays on us all the time, wherever we are, whatever we do
     It thinks of a stutter as its rightful body
Or of the numb anorexic craving as its self in top form.     The mind's always on a mission
Always      When faced with putting together a magazine-type product, a sales promotion concept, a new hype of some sort
     It's the mind, that comes up with everything
     When brainstorming, think of the stutterer
     At all cost, do NOT work on losing the stutter if you wanna speak
     It's only obstructing and keeping you from the ideas labeled 'good' in the recesses you're trying to access
     Material to work with? Anything, so long as it is not defined
     Space for now
     Goal to achieve? An arrival point
     Very often the best ideas are the ones born in the early seconds of a session
     Here at contentClix, we call it 'performance brainstorming'
Trust your instinct rather than the treacherous mind and your first utterances prove most valuable.     What DO we get at when we get at what we normally miss out on? And DO we miss out? Or does what we can't afford to miss out on catch up with us anyway? Days that we are opening restaurants for anorexix are here
     Really, since last December
     How about launching something with a statement
     Something like "Soon, human beings don't have to think anymore and they'll still be thinking"
     Sounds like a reproach to technology - it's also been said 1,000 times of poetry
     So we live in days that a restaurant caters for anorexics
A real-life manifestation of something we think of as an unviable concept made into a commercial venture, a marketable concept.     We really are so overmarketed in our entertainment that this new theme restaurant probably doesn't even stand out any more
     We can go around feeding anorexics and the poor girlies probably won't feel in any way forced to eat
     Solves their problem by creating a new layer in indifference on a wider scale
Perhaps this is a consolation for those girlies with enough energy left to be on the lookout for healthier anger ventilation opportunities: of the stutterers, 80 is male.     The mind's mission RIGHT NOW is getting on target
     Do you feel it coming? The next thought you're likely to produce is something to do with doing your very best and losing a stutter
     A marriage of idea and form! Perhaps we nearing some arrival point
     Perhaps not
We only hope we've set you off.
