Excerpt from Scott Walker's guest post:
"Wabi-sabi is a Japanese concept that highlights the beauty found in simple, ordinary objects, often with an emphasis on the imperfections of the objects that serve as a focal point of the uniqueness and beauty of the object (where the imperfection also hints at the underlying transcience and impermanence of our world).
I find this concept helpful when considering transmedia projects, especially those with an explicitly collaborative storytelling component. To the degree that a story world is completely finished or considered perfect, it closes itself off to continuation, contribution, or collaboration. Using imperfection as a proxy for incompleteness, the more imperfect an entertainment property, the more room there is for collaboration and contribution by audiences.
In other words, if there is no space left for audiences to explore, they will have a hard time contributing anything new or original."
