As humans, it is easy to assume that the only use for an item is the one you have learned. A chair is for sitting. A frying pan is for cooking. A dumpster is for garbage. Unless, that is, you start thinking not of what an object is, but of what it could be.
TrendCentral reports this week on a new trend created by the Macro-Sea artists collective that is springing up in Brooklyn – swimming pools created from old dumpsters. Thoroughly cleaned and lined, with sundeck attached, the dumpsters are turning up in vacant lots and backyards and providing innovative recession-era socializing venues.
Take an object, a room or an area. Think not of what it is, but of what it has the potential to become.
Then make it happen.
That's creativity.
