The 100 Worlds Project has been full of fun discoveries.  Here are some of mine. – Ron

1. We need a different word for collaborator. Our language lacks a word between partner and helper. I think it’s exactly the type of activity we’re trying to do more of. But what word do you call it?
2. Working without commerce as the driving force is both exhilarating and in many ways more inviting for others.
3. People willingly participate in a vision they understand and can become a “part of”. They see that in some way, because they were involved, it changed the outcome.
4. Art openings are for people to see people rather than the art. Kind of like going to a bar to hear the band. (But what a great opening party it was!)
5. We need less of the processes and consultants than we assume are critical. The creative process itself, when undertaken with discipline, can be adequate to guide a vision. And often to a more exciting conclusion.
6. The globe form serves well as a neutral entry point for a bigger dialogue about art and the creative process.
7. A big victory for me was that people understand the “intent” of the vision. They may like or not like the work, but most understand the intention.
8. It was cool to see our branding and theming skills applied to a personal project, to be a recipient of the power behind a simple theme, or “brand”. I believe in what I do professionally more than ever.
9. Sharing the creative process, “the how”, is as powerful as showing the results. The more it’s demystified, the more people see that they are, themselves, a creative being.
10.    Why is the most frequent question, ”When will you finish the next 50?” (We’re a very impatient and voracious lot.)

Thanks for caring.
