167
+ <span class="intro">If there’s anyone who knows how to marshal an online audience,
168
+ it’s Ze Frank. Ze is best-known for his 2006 program “The Show,” in
169
+ which he made a new 2-3 minute video every day for 1 year. Topics
170
+ ranged from “<a href="http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/08/083006.html">fingers in food</a>” to the
171
+ mysteries of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/05/051006.html">airport signage</a> to a tour
172
+ de force summary of creatives’ addiction to un-executed ideas, aka
173
+ <a target="_blank" href="http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/07/071106.html">brain crack</a>. Ze
174
+ constantly sourced ideas for The Show from his audience, and since then
175
+ he’s gone on to toy with group collaboration in new ways. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.zefrank.com/from52to48withlove/">52 to 48 with
176
+ Love</a> called on McCain and
177
+ Obama voters to exchange messages of reconciliation, while the summer
178
+ camp-like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.zefrank.com/zesblog/archives/2008/03/colorwar_2008.html">Color Wars</a>
179
+ harnessed Twitter to bring ad-hoc groups of users together to complete
180
+ large-scale, creative projects in limited time frames.</span>These days,
181
+ as ever, Ze is executing lots of ideas and seeing what sticks. A
182
+ pilot for the Discovery Channel is in the works, “The Show”
183
+ has been reincarnated (in a slightly more buttoned-down fashion) for
184
+ <span style="font-style: italic;">TIME</span> magazine, and he’s collaborating with a team of developers on the
185
+ next iteration of Color Wars. In a wide-ranging conversation that
186
+ encompassed everything from a discourse on 5th-century theologian St
187
+ Augustine to a brainstorming session on “zombie golf,” we talked with
188
+ Ze about how he gets his ideas off the ground and the art of designing
189
+ for mass participation and collaboration. These are the highlights:<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">I’ve
190
+ heard you speak about “morphological synthesis” as part of your idea
191
+ development process before. How does that sort of free association
192
+ function for you in taking the first few steps on a project?</span><br><br>Morphological
193
+ synthesis is a way of trying to segment your thinking process into
194
+ parts. I definitely use it quite a bit. (Though not in the strictest
195
+ sense of the word.) You take 4-5 adjectives or characteristics and then
196
+ brainstorm in that direction.<br><br>Generally, when I have an idea I start
197
+ with a sense of scale. Let’s say Procter &amp; Gamble has a new toilet
198
+ paper. If I’m trying to generate ideas around it, the first thing I’d
199
+ do is take a general imagination run into scale. What happens if you
200
+ have no toilet paper? What happens if you have way, way too much toilet
201
+ paper? What’s the smallest type of toilet paper that you would ever
202
+ use? What would an incredibly large toilet paper look like? Who is
203
+ someone that never uses toilet paper? Who is someone that uses it
204
+ constantly? What can you do with 10,000 rolls of toilet paper? What would a world with no toilet paper
205
+ look like? <br><br>I flip back and forth between the extremes until
206
+ something interesting comes out of it. And then you repeat the process
207
+ based on that new idea. It’s a super-cool exercise only in that it
208
+ forces you to explore the outside boundaries of things. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">What kind
209
+ of a role does collaboration – for example, how you interact with your
210
+ enthusiastic online audience – play in your ability to keep producing
211
+ work?</span><br><br>I don’t feel like participating and collaboration is
212
+ fundamental. But I do feel like it’s certainly one of the more exciting
213
+ parts of the digital age. And I think that there’s a lot of really cool
214
+ stuff to do in that arena.<br><br>For me, there are two facets: one is
215
+ creating the work fast, and the other is publishing the work fast.
216
+ Those are two different things. Publishing it fast, for me, certainly
217
+ in the early stages from 2000-2006, was super-important, because I was
218
+ trying to understand the relationship between the genesis idea, the
219
+ work itself, and the audience – and how those three things interplay
220
+ with each other. <br><br><span class="blockquote">I say make it as quickly and faithfully as
221
+ possible. ‘Quickly’ and ‘faithfully’ kind of pull in opposite
222
+ directions. I find that that’s a nice tension to work in.</span><br><br>What I was finding was that there was an
223
+ opportunity for me to explore this creative process that normally all
224
+ happens internally, in a different way where you release work, and then
225
+ you allow the frameworks that emerge from the way people respond to the
226
+ work as some kind of feedback cycle. It’s incredible, and it gets
227
+ talked about a lot now, as people try to open up the work that way,
228
+ allowing people to react, respond.<br><br>The second thing is making the
229
+ work fast. I usually try to say ‘make it as quickly and faithfully as
230
+ possible.’ ‘Quickly’ and ‘faithfully’ kind of pull in opposite
231
+ directions. I find that that’s a nice tension to work in – try and get
232
+ it out as fast as possible, but don’t take shortcuts just for time. Try
233
+ to stay true to the original concept. I find that that is important
234
+ because you end up making more stuff. And for me, the most difficult
235
+ part of the process is the first 50%. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do you find it harder to complete work when that audience isn’t present? Or is the process just different?</span><br><br>If
236
+ there is one sea-change that’s happening in the world of creativity, in
237
+ a broad spectrum kind of way, it is the awareness that more and more
238
+ people have of the fact that there IS an audience. When people become
239
+ aware of some sort of sense of audience, it changes the dynamics of
240
+ making things. What I’m interested in is how your imagination of the
241
+ potential audience changes your work. <br><br>For me, audience has become
242
+ what Walt Disney would call that third voice, that critical voice. As
243
+ I’m working, I’m using my impression of all the different times that
244
+ I’ve interacted with the audience, all those voices that I’ve heard
245
+ over time, and they come back into the work. It’s like I’m bouncing the
246
+ idea around between all of these different factional voice-blocks. The
247
+ people who think you suck no matter what you do, the people who
248
+ obviously just want you to feel bad, the people who like what you do
249
+ regardless, the people who are constantly thinking your work is bigger
250
+ than it is. So all those kinds of voices become these critical
251
+ frameworks, or lenses, to look at your work through, even before you
252
+ publish.<br><br><span class="blockquote">For me, audience has become
253
+ what Walt Disney would call that third voice, that critical voice.</span><br><br>You look at the random YouTube or you look at the random
254
+ blogger, and you can almost reverse engineer what that notion of
255
+ audience was. Some people think the world is populated by people just
256
+ like them, some people imagine their audience to be far, far greater
257
+ than it really is, some people seem to be completely unaware.<br><br>It’s
258
+ almost this pastiche of internal representations of audience that’s
259
+ creating such a confusing media landscape right now. You look at one
260
+ single comments train on a political blog and it becomes so jarring.
261
+ Some people are speaking to the world, some people are speaking to just
262
+ one other person. It’s almost as if, with each comment, the size of the
263
+ room changes.<br><br>I long ago stripped away the notion that a creative
264
+ person’s life is just about satisfying oneself. I don’t think that
265
+ that’s a reasonable way of going about your work. And I think it’s a
266
+ very romantic and broken way of thinking about creativity. <br><br>--<br><span style="font-style: italic;">Read
