"The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees oneself of the chains that shackle the spirit... the arbitrariness of the constraint only serves to obtain precision of execution." -Igor Stravinsky
In anticipation of
Paul Fournel this week, we've decided we'd play a little game. The following clip shows Phil of the popular show "Modern Family" utilizing one of the Oulipo's little
contraintes: the
abécédaire. We want you, our loyal followers, to participate and create something of your own! Of course you don't have to do the
abécédaire, there are plenty of
contraintes that may match your taste for punishment. So, check out the links and leave us your very own work. We'll award the best ones some nice prizes!
