Inspiration Machine 31


Clockwise from left: rebecca *, blueoneiam, Allison Sommers, UNIFORM Studio

1. Learn how to say "I love you" in 100 languages.

2. Visit a museum by yourself with a special mixtape created just for this occasion.

3. Aim to be that "crazy aunt."

4. Rather than ordinary bookshelves, line your walls with rows of plexiglass from floor to ceiling, and stack your books on them. The effect will look like your books a lined up against your wall, hanging in free space.

5. Rather than spreading them throughout your home, try displaying every piece of art you own on a single wall.

6. Dedicate different walls in your home to different art "objects": mustaches, bunnies, mustangs, artichokes, etc...

7. Decorate every room in your house entirely in a specific color - it will be like living in a rainbow.

8. Designate a "color" for each day for a week: try to live each day in the spirit of that specific color.

9. Instead of a sports team", create an "art team". Have games with other art teams and compete against each other on group art projects.

10. Try not to concentrate.

I like this! I am already doing a collaborative art project as one of my modules, and that is an effect a competition as we want to get better marks than the others!

I like the visiting a museum one. I did that at the Philadelphia Museum of Art over the summer with some music boxy stuff by Philip Glass (turns out it was actually composed for the Candyman horror flick -- oops), and it worked wonders for the western art collections. To get music for the WHOLE museum I really would need to make a custom mix like you suggest. As usual, I'm enjoying your blorg ;)
