Participants should be paired
1. Participants have 20 minutes to talk about an item that doesn’t exist but society would need it.
After that, the couple stands in front of the auditory and plays the thing without words and the whole audience guesses what the thing is. Guess discusses the usefulness of the item, if not, the couple presents what the item was about.
2. Connect two pairs and try to combine their items into a single whole so that they both work as one system and play again after 20 minutes.
3. Again more pairing and repeating the process.
This is done until all the participants come together and create a common system of non-existent objects, but the system must be rational and able to function successfully.
