A playground with a PIG and lots of visuals!




Last Thursday the 29th we got to invite some of our good friends and some fresh new blood to the Innovation Playground 2007. The daywas started at 5.30... We had to pick up some stuff at the office and drive over to the ADO stadium in The Hague. In the car we realized that we forgot our printer...which made drawing on the WACOM cintiqs (digital sketchboards) a bit difficult to post up on the wall. Good feedback for future wacom prodcts... fit the screen with a printer!

The day was centered around the combination of Market and Solution. The abundance of inspiring demos (even a f**kin' big pig! and a remote controlled flying elf!) were crossed with a healthy amount of managers from all kinds of different specializations. When you put these ingredients together you get a playground for innovative thinking... ofcourse these thoughts of flying pigs and breathing cities needed to be visualized in order for all the visitors to be able to process the information which was coming towards them. This is where JAM came in! Thanks to the heroes that roam about in our little network, we were able to produce over a 120 visual interpretations of concepts which were created right there on the spot. The atmosphere was good...the coffee and the pepsi (tanx anna!) were FLOWING and the sketchers were going at it non stop from 8.30 until 16.30... amazing input...fun output!

Check out flickr for some cool pictures of the artists! and check out www.inspirationweek.com in the coming year... All the created content will be released there for all to see!
