“Play is the highest form of research.”
- Albert Einstein
Paradigm Playtime is a creative & cathartic outlet for reflections and hopes. It’s part art project; part incubator. While our world has become more and more connected, agitation and turbulence seem to be the norm. “How did we get here… How did we get here?” ponderings are frequently on my mind.
However, it’s not just reflection, there’s also hope, “Where do we go from here, and how do we get there?” Playing with models and paradigms enables me to consider and research what might move things forward differently.
The irony of selling things [shit] that examine capitalist paradigms is not lost on me. I’m working with the tools that are available. Maximizing profits is not the mission. If there is a mission, I’d like to think that, together, we’re crowdsourcing the paradigms of the future.
If any of these alternative paradigms speak to you, I hope you’ll consider how you might see them in your day-to-day; and, if it speaks to you so much that you’d like to let others know… buy some shit!
“Selling shit…In our capitalist culture, that’s how word spreads;
Selling shit.” - Bill
