The document describes an upcoming event called "The Popcorn Experiment" taking place August 13-14, 2010 in Vienna, Austria. The experiment aims to generate new ideas in an inspiring creative space through a customized learning process facilitated by Dey Dos and Alexis Eremia. Participants will experience their ideas "popping" like popcorn as heat is applied, going from kernels to fluffy puffs. They will take the first steps to develop their ideas and shape them into "branded wholes" to take forward. Space is limited and those interested can apply by August 6, 2010.

7. Now, let‘s keep it simple.
Take it lightly. And just think
of ideas as popcorn. After
all, have you ever watched
a kernel of popcorn just
before it pops?
It does so very suddenly
and without warning. One
moment it's a little kernel
and the next moment: Pop!
Into the fluffy white puff.
Now, how about your ideas
would do the same…
