open sOURce inspiration

Posted by Sadie at 12:48am


as a massive idea generator/note-taker without the money, materials, skills, time, energy, crew or wherewithal to realize many of my ideas i make a lot of notes about things that i will never do, and i require many, many scraps of paper. as a person who always finishes their plate, your plate, and yes would like a doggie bag, please, a feeling of wasted creative meat hurts my soul.

open sOURce inspiration is an ongoing project wherein I list many of the ideas for art pieces and projects, in all media, that I have and either do not want to pursue or don’t mind sharing with y’all. as a collaboration, i ask that you take these ideas when you are idea-hungry, interpret them as you like, and make some cool shit. i also ask that you please list your own excess ideas here as comments, and i will periodically add them to the growing list so we’ll get a big splat of mixed-brain soup. this is especially good for people who get inspired around medias or technologies they know nothing about and don’t intend to pursue anytime soon. i’m also interested in multiple interpretations of an idea… and i may come back and do some of these in the darkly glistening future. or ask me to colaborate! what the hay.

if you use/adapt/interpret/make/create/mutate/jump off from an idea you found here, it sure would be neat if you posted something about what you did/made and what the original idea was.

    this OpenSourceInspiration is a beautiful idea !

    I’m sure there’s a thousand inspirations I could share because I couldn’t make them true for lack of means or time or skills, but right now my brains can’t find them. I’ll come back and comment when I think of something.
