Plausible Artworlds

[21:51:22] Aharon says: appologies if it sounds rude, but are you the one who suggested to play games in a skype party on the paw website?
[21:52:48] collective creative dissent says: did I use the word ' game' - I might have... if so, I meant it in a pretty loose sense, like interacting thtough music and playlists, like you suggested, but also through the different foods we eat, and different themes for conversation...
[21:53:23] collective creative dissent says: Maybe Kajsa mentioned games in her comment?
[21:53:59] Aharon says: i thought it was a great idea. i can not recall if you used "game" - i might have chinese whispered it..
[21:54:05] Aharon says: maybe..
[21:55:03] collective creative dissent says: yes, I kind of like it too, if we can avoid it becoming too formal... you know, sometimes these things seems to backfire - you try out models for informal interaction, and end up having a very formal discussion about the model...
[21:55:18] collective creative dissent says: I wanted to do a smiley or cheeky type face but can't find them on this new interface...
[21:55:43] collective creative dissent says: ah, here we go ;)
[21:55:55] Aharon says: oh! I use the old style keyboard faces.. ;)
[21:56:25] Aharon says: yes.. it can turn either way - but i think worth a risk
[21:57:09] collective creative dissent says: absolutely! seems Jacqui and Geoff are up for it too (ACW) and I spoke to Scott and BK are on, so perhaps we already have enough folk for a wee gathering!
[21:58:35] Aharon says: sounds like we do.. i thought that maybe, if we come up with a theme - as was suggested - each of us could come up with tunes according to the theme, and we musical chairs it, sort of thing
[22:00:13] collective creative dissent says: musical chairs? think you need to tell me more... perhaps there is a Scando equivalent...
[22:00:54] collective creative dissent says: sounds good though - a theme and tunes
[22:01:12] Aharon says: scando? i mean take turns in playing the tunes
[22:01:46] collective creative dissent says: sorry, scandinavian - I grew up in Sweden so my knowledge of English games etc. is sketchy... at best...
[22:02:21] collective creative dissent says: but yes, take turns playing tunes on a theme sounds like a great idea!
[22:02:28] Aharon says: i think its world wide game.. i grew up in tel-aviv, and it was there as well
[22:04:09] Aharon says: humm.. maybe a theme could come from the type of food..? what if it was a distributed food..?
[22:04:46] collective creative dissent says: Yes, so it's just taking turn playing music... We did that too. But we also had a different game involving music and chairs, where everybody would march around a number of chairs in the middle of a room, one less chair than people playing the game, and once the music stopped - unexpectedly in the middle of the song - everyone had to try and grab a chair and the one that was left without the chair was kicked out of the game, and so on and forth until a winner remained... sounded like musical chairs could refer to sth like that
[22:06:09] collective creative dissent says: yes, Jacqui was suggesting an apertivo session, right - supposedly that would involve many small dishes - that could be a format worth exploring, a pool of recipes that we'd all try to make for each of our apertivo tables, some successes, perhaps, and some probably failures... as it is a semi-global thing, perhaps there'd be interesting kinds of food involved....
[22:06:39] Aharon says: oh yes.. we could do something similar by saying: if you missed your turn playing the music - you are not to play music..
[22:07:03] collective creative dissent says: yes, that could work...
[22:07:11] Aharon says: whats apertivo..?
[22:08:08] collective creative dissent says: it's this north italian thing they do before supper - they meet like between 6 and 9 or sth, and most bars and bistro type places would have a table of small dishes that they will serve for free or for a small fee with your pre-supper drinks
[22:09:02] collective creative dissent says: often it involved multiple dishes, some hot, some cold - cheeses, etc. delicate food, not too make you to full, as you'll be heading off to proper supper 9 or 10 or sth...
[22:09:15] collective creative dissent says: good fun, and very cheap - you can live of that if you know the right places to go\
[22:10:36] Aharon says: hummm... yes... so... like... i can give you a recepie.. you give someone else, and so on.. and we all endup eating each other's recepies..?
[22:10:47] Aharon says: errr.. i mean dishes..
[22:10:51] collective creative dissent says: exactly - that could be fun
[22:11:04] Aharon says: yes! lots of it!
[22:11:27] collective creative dissent says: and a music game... good to keep in touch, etc. also doing stuff like this, I think
[22:11:42] collective creative dissent says: more convivial stuff - food and music, etc.
[22:11:53] Aharon says: yes.. so.. apertivo.. does it mean appetizer..?
[22:13:12] collective creative dissent says: sort off, but often you eat it for a while, with drinks, and then you go to a restaurant and have a normal dinner with antipasti, pasta, secondi, dessert, etc. Though I'm not sure how often they would do the whole thing... Seems a lot... Maybe they skip the antipasti if they do apertivo
[22:14:09] Aharon says: i was just thinking that maybe "appetizer" could turn into a party theme..?
[22:15:06] collective creative dissent says: yes - great 'tasters' - we can do a taster-session - trying out new things, and each other, and new art-worlds, as it were ;)
[22:15:33] Aharon says: yup! ;)
[22:15:46] collective creative dissent says: we shoud
[22:15:50] collective creative dissent says: sorry
[22:15:58] collective creative dissent says: we should put this on the forum somehow
[22:16:01] Aharon says: cool!
[22:16:12] Aharon says: yes - just my thought..
