Creative Disembodiment

There is nothing more unkind for the self than conflating prompts for briefs. Prompts point at an inner place of thinking; briefs are things we do with and for others. Ignoring the distinction, we relinquish our thinking space and start the process of disembodiment (/creative surplus). This is a living idea that I have written and held workshops about.

This week, I invite you to consider something you’re asking of others or are being asked: is this meant to invite creativity or production?
