Even though I have some graphic design experience, this was my first attempt at UI Design. It took me a while to think of something to create or improve, app / interface-wise.
But somehow I was thinking about creativity, and this concept called The Adjacent Possible suddenly came up in my mind:
The adjacent possible is a kind of shadow future, hovering on the edges of the present state of things, a map of all the ways in which the present can reinvent itself.
The adjacent possible “captures both the limits and the creative potential of change and innovation.”
It’s the ever-present set of opportunities at the boundaries of our reach. And:
The strange and beautiful truth about the adjacent possible is that its boundaries grow as you explore them. Each new combination opens up the possibility of other new combinations.
The adjacent possible idea then reminded me of Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies for conquering creative blocks. I've always wished there was a (delightful to use) app for Oblique Strategies. So I decided to try to experiment and see what that could look like.
