Dear all,
as I am sure you have noticed, I didn't upload anything in the past month.
The reasons for this are multiple, but a major one is that I felt creatively stuck.
I have taken steps to solve this impasse, so here I am with a new patch! This one is a bit symbolic: it lets you pick at random one out of 117 Oblique Strategies cards.
Oblique Strategies is a set of cards written by the composer Brian Eno (and others), and each of them contains a phrase or an aphorism designed to make you think laterally to the problem at hand. It has been written for music, but I think it can be applied to any creative situation.
After all, the cards don't have a single interpretation, you can do whatever you want with them.
In the patch, the cards are displayed on a table. By clicking on the button in the top left corner you pick a card at random, with an animation I made in jit.gen.

Hope you like it and find it inspiring!
See you soon
