  • Oblique Strategies (subtitled over one hundred worthwhile dilemmas) is a set of published cards created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt first published in 1975, and now in its fifth edition. Each card contains a phrase or cryptic remark which can be used to break a deadlock or dilemma situation. Examples: State the problem in words as clearly as possible. Only one element of each kind. What would your closest friend do? What to increase? What to reduce? Are there sections? Consider transitions. Try faking it! Honour the error as a hidden intention. From the introduction to the 2001 edition: These cards evolved from separate observations of the principles underlying what we were doing. Sometimes they were recognised in retrospect (intellect catching up with intuition), sometimes they were identified as they were happening, sometimes they were formulated. They can be used as a pack, or by drawing a single card from the shuffled pack when a dilemma occurs in a working situation. In this case the card is trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear... References to Oblique Strategies exist in popular culture, most notably in the film Slacker, in which a character offers passers-by cards from a deck. Strategies mentioned include "Honor thy error as a hidden intention," "Look closely at the most embarrassing details and amplify," "Not building a wall; making a brick," "Repetition is a form of change," and one which came to be seen as a summary of the film's ethos (though it was not part of the official set of Oblique Strategies), "Withdrawing in disgust is not the same thing as apathy. " This line was quoted in the 1994 song "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" by R.E.M. , who also mentioned Oblique Strategies in their 1998 song "Diminished" off the album Up. Other musicians reportedly inspired by Oblique Strategies include the British band Coldplay, said to have used the cards when recording their 2008 Brian Eno-produced album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, and French band Phoenix, who claimed to have used the cards when recording their 2009 album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. German musician/composer Blixa Bargeld has a similar navigation system, called Dave. All five editions are available in Apple's App Store as of 2009, for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
  • Stratégies obliques, sous-titré « Plus de cent dilemmes qui en valent la peine » (Over one hundred worthwhile dilemmas) est un jeu de cartes conçu par Brian Eno et Peter Schmidt, dont la première édition date de 1975. Chacune des cartes du jeu (au nombre de 113 dans la première édition) porte une indication apparemment énigmatique ou ouverte à diverses interprétations, par exemple « Arrête-toi un moment », « Ce n'est qu'une question de travail » ou « Examine avec attention les détails les plus embarrassants et amplifie-les ». D'après leurs concepteurs, elles peuvent être employés « comme un paquet (un ensemble de possibilités examiné en permanence par l'esprit) ou bien en tirant une carte unique au hasard lorsqu'un dilemme se présente dans une situation de travail ». Les trois premières éditions du jeu, datant de 1975, 1978 et 1979, furent produites en quantités limitées (500 pour la première). Une quatrième édition, privée, a été produite à 4 000 exemplaires en 1996. Il existe également des éditions en français et en japonais.
  • Estratégias oblíquas (Oblique strategies, em inglês) é um conjunto de cartas criadas por Brian Eno e publicadas em 1975. Cada carta contém uma frase ou observação enigmática utilizada para sair de um beco sem saída ou de um dilema. Alguns exemplos: Coloque o problema em palavras tão claras quanto puder. Apenas um elemento para cada tipo. O que seu melhor amigo faria? O que aumentar? O que reduzir? Tente imitar! Honre um erro como uma intenção escondida. Alguns trechos da introdução da edição de 2001: "Estas cartas evoluíram de diversas observações de princípios subjacentes ao que estávamos fazendo. Às vezes elas eram reconhecidas em retrospecto (intelecto pegando a intuição), às vezes eram identificadas enquanto aconteciam, às vezes eram formuladas. ! "Elas podem ser usadas como um pacote, ou retirando uma única carta do monte quando um dilema ocorre em uma situação de trabalho. Neste caso se confia na carta mesmo que não fique claro se ela é apropriada..."
