Early Bird Special
At first I thought the birds misread the early bird deals. Nina Katchadourian explains that there is a certain magic in this kind of mistake: “I’m a great believer in misunderstandings as fruitful starting points for ideas. Moments of confusion produce an expansive mental space where a vast and reckless type of creative thinking becomes possible. Eventually, a clue restores the proper context, tethering me to what's really going on, delineating and determining what I should be understanding about things. When things make sense again, it’s actually a bit disappointing.”
