"Yes, and..."

The Framework AgeLiz Danzico - bobulate.com and abriefmessage.com

Connection between music and design: Modal Jazz - get away from static, non-participatory experience; inject instability

Patterns of improvisation - we've stopped designing artifacts and started designing frameworks

Music as a Framework: similar to orality vs. literacy Classical notation - 3 kinds of constraints: hard to read if you don't know how to read music [excludes anyone who isn't educated on it], indicates ways [right and wrong] to play, no outside participation [improvisation] Abstract Notation - pure spontaneity; twitter - people don't "read the manual", we make up the rules as we go

"Yes, and..." instead of saying "No, but..." good brainstorm technique to draw out ideas

Project Baggage - always wanting to implement a feature that isn't appropriate for the project

Organ Donation - US vs. Europe = opt-in in US vs. opt-out in Europe; defaults are important

Involve the audience - designers have one view of what needs to be there, users may have another [desire paths]

Listen and Watch - music and architecture; desire paths

Call and Response - allow for users to build on one another
