Tenets

"Tenets" for "my" studio practice – is art and product really that different? – things I care about for some reason or another

"test in prod" "works in progress" "ART MARKET FIT"

Art is an Iterative Process
  • embrace the fluidity of creation
  • living evolving works
  • feedback + collaboration, a cybernetics of social relations #WLIAS (we live in a society)
Test in Production
  • Perfection is the enemy of Progress
  • be resilient, adaptive, responsive to the work in the lived environment
Art Market Fit
  • "cultural lightning" art is art that has found PMF
  • seek resonance with the organism that is culture
Agile Artistry
  • reduce creative projects into manageable iterative cycles
  • to be responsive, flexible, innovative without reducing output velocity
Measure Once
  • strategic vision + thoughtful planning precedes execution
  • set a clear + deliberate direction, ensuring each step is purposeful + informed or informing (toward being informed)
Cut Twice
  • Execution is an art
  • commit to bold, decisive actions
  • there will be missteps, be willing to "cut again", learning + adapting continuously
Public Iteration
  • Transparency in Process + Output is crucial to finding resonance (necessary for 3).
  • through precise measurement one can derive the resonance of a room, or it can be discovered directly just by singing (preferred)
Speed (a need)
  • speed is not just about "moving fast" but maintaining momentum
  • trend-casting, trend-tracing, trend-setting, trend-mapping are all opportunities in Alpha
  • information asymmetric opportunities are seized by those who move fast
Open Source Innovation
  • Share code, designs, + process
  • contribute to the collective knowledge
  • foster a culture that values innovation + transparency
All art is spiritual; not spiritual, not art
