Information Post on Concept Blog
(Wednesday, May 14, 2008)
I would love for everyone to take a look at the post I have made on the concept blog. Although its aimed at the concept team, it's something we all need to start thinking of as a team! From this stage to the conclusion of the project, we are going to be building and embracing this concept.
As Mark has said, we are about to try and make a state of mind and a way of life apart of history and a future... I think we all need to get our heads around the idea of a state of mind!.. Forget the ideas about fashion, music, tastes, etc... start thinking more in a psychological way! This is my explanation of the me(i)sobored state of mind....
Me(i)sobored is the psychological state of the mind intermediately between stimulation and anxiety. It is described as the creative impulse that each and everyone is presented with, but limited individuals realise and embrace. Its the middle point between continuing on your path within a stimulating world of events, or going out on a tangent and thinking beyond what the mind is callable. It can only be reached during a state of down time (boredom) where the mind is free of interesting surroundings. Once me(i)sobored is reached, creative control takes over the mind, body and spirit, presenting opportunities that cannot be reached in highly stimulating environments. Everyones approach to me(i)sobored is difference, creating a unique and individual experience to all.
If I could get every team to read this, embrace this and create based on this! Through your design, archieves and approaches, you need to get people embraced in this state of mind! Its each groups task to answer the questions of how people reach this state of mind, and what allows them to be creative once reached! How does an individual embrace this if they don't even know they have reached the peak of me(i)sosbored? How does a person reach this state of mind within boredom? How does an individual approach and live this state of mind in their own ways of life?
I hope I have posed some great questions and cleared up a lot of how this project is been progressed!!
I would love to start seeing some feedback!!! Please use the comments and tell me what you think! This is everyones project, but its getting to a point where feedback will be cut off, and we will be locked into the framework and story that creates this project
On just a final note for the evening (well morning) I would love to see as many people as possibl download and use skype! Its really hard for teams to have meetings during the week, and we doing an awesome job of meeting each couple of days! It just may make life a lot easier if Skype was used in those intermediate states of non meetings.
Cheers,

hey video team here,,,,
we are getting some ideas going with this concept in mind..
we are all embracing the me(i)so bored mentality.\\
We prefer the western idea better, less soupy.
we are starting a blog for our artists group where we post and talk about this 'state of mind'.
love cbang
LOL.. the less soup the better video team! I agree. I like the euro backstory as well, just thought it could tie in nicely with some great design.. in saying that, some of the most simplistic but clever design is coming from eastern europe.
Please post the link to your blog here so we can track the progress of the artist group.
I personally prefer the mesobored as well.
Although I like the fact that eastern culture especially the Japanese have taken on a similar concept of emptiness and incorporated that into their everyday life. It's something we can refer to and also people today have a some knowledge of, making what we are trying to achieve more believable.
Print team is still trying to get their head around the idea of raising awareness in a subtle manner and the individual approaches to mesobored...we're onto something though.
