> a member of the studio comes up with a creative activity to get us out of our heads and thinking more playfully.

It wasn’t about finding the simplest or best way. It was freedom to be playful.

Freedom to not be driven by criticism or optimisation. Freedom to have an idea, ask people to join you in playing, and enjoy seeing what emerges.

It happened that what emerged from this play session was a way to think about programming.

I think it was a wonderfully creative, collaborative and joyful idea. I loved reading about this space for designers to explore and try ideas without worrying if someone would say ‘this could be better’.

Designing and brainstorming needs openness and freedom to experiment. I feel happy that there’s spaces in the world where this is encouraged.
