Topic: electric fan blowing wind
Analogy:
- The fan spins quickly
- The wind is sucked in from the back of the fan
- The wind is blown out from the front of the fan
- You can barely feel the wind in the back of the fan, but the wind blowing out of the fan is strong and cool
- The fan has many blades
- The wind being sucked in from the back comes from a wide angle, but the wind blown out is concentrated
This is like creative teamwork. All members in the group think of ideas from many different perspectives that may sound like nothing in the beginning, process them in a group, and produce a result that is really something.
Differences from the original topic:
- Wind/air is unlimited, but ideas exhaust.
- Ideas can still be generated with only one or two members, but a fan with only one or two blades doesn’t work well.
Making: A setup that consists of an electric fan within a tube, there are two smaller tubes for applying air with different colored dust. The fan spins and the dust is blown from the right to the left. The color of the dust changes over time, and the fans when spun show three images: people discussing, people getting inspiration, and people showing ideas to another one. The following is an indication of how the setup will look like.
