Oulipo group

Oulipo (short for "Ouvroir de littérature potentielle," meaning "Workshop of Potential Literature") is a creative group founded in 1960 by writers and mathematicians aiming to explore new ways of writing through constraints and patterns. They experiment with innovative techniques, such as writing with specific rules or structures, to inspire creativity and produce unique literary works. Their approach highlights the idea that limitations can foster artistic innovation, encouraging writers to think differently about language and storytelling beyond conventional methods.
