Forcing multiplicity is not only unnatural but also overwhelming. To me it becomes just doing it to get done and I start to miss on some interesting things that could be developing from experimenting. I have a specific process and I have noticed that times when I'm trying to "multiply" can stretch into hours with no results, however, when I allow myself to play and just make things, the multiplicity happens naturally and leads to more and more compelling results.

But I also think that when multiplicity is forced (most likely in a classroom environment) the process becomes unnatural and can often stifle opportunities for chance and improvisation. Beautiful moments and unexpected forms can be overlooked in an urgency for an producing an excessive amount of 'stuff'. I think it's important to slow down and trust yourself, also, to really enjoy the experimenting! ‘Process is Multiplicity’
