virtual space tour
Interview series like Manu's People and Blogs and Hyde's Over/Under convinced me that I could brew one myself.
Sufficient inspiration arrived from Visa making his mental space tangible in a virtual space of one's own, as well as this excerpt of mine from sharing is buoyancy:
I think about a piece Sridhar wrote then apparently deleted, The Detritus of Our Lives, which compared the state of past renowned musicians' living quarters after they have passed.
The prompt:
Describe your present virtual spaces as a room or other physical space. Showcase not only its decor, but its story too. Repeat for your inner child. Repeat for yourself after you have passed.
Feel free to reply with your own answer by email, reply post, or otherwise. If you have improvements for the prompt, you can float them my way or test them out yourself.
As for going beyond the prompt, consider these questions that arose from refining it:
- What gets described relative to your expectations?
- What stays the same across rooms?
- What differs across rooms?
- What gaps do you find worth bridging over?
Perhaps most importantly, if you have a similar idea to any of the above initiatives, you too can be courageous enough to ship it.
