Abstract

Choose Your Own Adventure! is a concoctive reaction to burnout. Born of frustration, existential crises, and career exhaustion, this project pursues an understanding of where the roots of burnout take hold, in the context of the life and journey of the creative professional. From that base of knowledge, the work seeks to subvert the binding effects of burnout through an amalgam of the experiential and the tactile. Part design experiment, part performance art, part spontaneous conversation therapy, Choose Your Own Adventure! is comprised of evolving collaborative design exercises, as well as a reflective conversation space within the gallery. The goal is not to cure burnout, but rather to serve as a potential respite from the internal and external pressures that weigh on those who pursue a career as a professional creative.
