Muni's PlayFrom Eric Zimmerman’s The Rules We Break:
Quote
Play is all about that vulnerability, about being responsive, yielding to the moment. You might not be playing, but if you are willing to play, at the drop of a hat, the bounce of a ball, the glance of a toddler, the wag of a tail—then you are open to any opportunity. You are loose. Responsive. Present.
Quote
To play is to play with something, to question something that might not be meant for play and to do something inappropriately playful with it.
Quote
To play with something is to explore its possibilities, to test its limits, to move beyond the functional and utilitarian and into the realm of the unexpected and inappropriate.
Quote
Play is free movement within a more rigid structure. Like a loose gear, the wiggling movement of play happens because of, but also in opposition to, the logical systems on which it depends.
Quote
Play is a second-order design problem. You can’t design play directly—you only design the circumstances under which it might arise.
