Sports drink

a wholesome sports drink paste that you add to water. It is mostly honey in a tube like a toothpaste tube but it has some salt and electrolytes added (for fast absorbtion). Also the capped end is big and flat so that it sits flat on a surface as it is the bottom, and the tapered end isn’t straight like a toothpaste tube, instead it turns into a spoon which you use to stir the paste into the water to which you add it.

Bike Suit

Make a men’s suit for bike riding with pinstripes of reflective material and nice buttons in the cuffs.

Umbrella kite

make a kite that looks like an umbrella on a string.

Book

a book of interviews called ‘what is it like to be sick?’

Books

Take each book on a bookshelf and replace 5 page sections with handmade replicas of those pages.

video

shoot a commercial for yes cigarettes in Benin. “Do you smoke?” “Yes!”

world change + global warming

getting people to change their lifestyle decisions affecting global warming will not happen by their hearing songs about it on the radio. Instead when people are facing a decision with environmental consequences there must be a real stress which is triggered. Even though it is not an immediate threat, it must feel psyiologically like the person is being chased by a lion.

Chandelier

wrap a crystal chandelier in wax paper or dress lining.

Preference

we prefer confusions to conclusions

Electronics

if circutboards were flexible it would open up a lot of possibilities. Electronics could be built into the skin of gadgets.

Exercise

exercise is easier in the form of a sport than pure workout. Is there a way to make pilates into a sport so I can strengthen my core without the drugery of working out?

Seeming oposites paired

brakes and speed- since I fixed my breaks, I can ride my bike faster. Bad drivers and car afficionados- who are the people who put rubber pads on their cars’ bumper

Open mic

go to an open mic and for your act do whatever the previous act did.

Frames

have a show of cheap obejects beautified by very beautiful expensive frames.

Sit down

A simple way to rearrange a situation is to walk into any room and sit in an obviously inappropriate place, for example you can sit on the counter or behind the counter of a store, or on the floor in a doorway, etc. It might be good for a friend to record this with one of the new flip recorders.
