STEP FOUR: Taste and Correct the Seasonings.
Read your statement out loud. Listen to the way the sounds and rhythms seem to invite pauses. Notice places where you'd like the sound or rhythm to be different. Experiment with sounding out the beats of words that seem to be missing until they come to mind. Do this several times until you have a sense of the musical potential of your statement. As you read your statement, some phrases will ring true and others false. Think about the ones that aren't on the mark and find the true statement lurking behind the false one. You may find that the truth is a simpler statement than the one you made. Or your internal censors may have kept you from making a wholehearted statement of your truth lest it sound self-important. Risk puffing yourself up as long as your claims are in line with your goals and values.
Keep reading and revising your statement until you hear a musical, simple, authentic voice that is making clear and honest statements about your work. Refer to your word list and other Step One exercises as needed. By now your taste buds are saturated. You need a second opinion. Choose a trusted friend or professional to read your statement. Make it clear that you are satisfied with the ingredients on the whole, but you'd like an opinion as to seasoning. In other words, you alone are the authority for what is true about your work, but you'd like feedback on clarity, tone, and such technical matters as spelling and punctuation. Once you've incorporated such suggestions as make sense to you, make a crisp, clear original of your artist's statement. Sign and date it. Make lots of copies, you will have lots of people to serve it to!
My dream is to make experiences that give a sense of wonder and sparks the imagination. Allot of games create an escape of the real world while I want these experiences to continue in my real life. I wish not to escape but enhance my life through play. It is through play that my mind becomes involved with the environment and enhances the experience at that moment.
The world I experience exist out of fragments. I don’t experience life as one big story or design. Life is made out of fragments which I collect. This collection made out of pieces of life is more interesting than the bigger picture. This is the world I live in.
Everyday things and services are very much connected to how we experience the real world. The relationship can become such a routine that I forget it is there. To play with these elements my relationship will have a deeper meaning because I will see a different side I did not know before.
This theme I always keep in mind and I try to let the game or experience trickle down into the real world. This means that the fictional world becomes a part of the real world experience instead of an escape.
Over time an idea grew to make shop that is the main gate to different fragments of play. The platform gives me a lot of freedom to still experiment the many ways of play/interaction of the everyday thing. The challenge is to create world, that is combined with the real and fictional world, where a player can explore and enjoy.
