The result of producing and offering your art within an infinite game.
The finite game intends a predictable outcome;* the infinite game is full of inopportune surprises leading to we don’t know where and producing and crafting we don’t know what – not yet.
Openendedness not only produces more possibilities but transforms the player and the artist.
I am realising I’ve no idea where my conversations will go – they are infinite games. There can be finite games within these – those I work with will know they’ll arrive at a better understanding of who they are and what they can do, and they’ll have many different ways and means to explore, but, really, I know our conversations could continue for the rest of our lives.
How are you developing openendedness in your art?
(*It is possible to play finite games within the infinite game, but the infinite artist knows they are not the bigger picture while the finite artist believes they are.)
