Re: What's experimental?
The rigorous academic definition: One is expected to understand the history of the subject so they can move forward without repeating other's "experiments" or work. Of course each new "original" work makes this task increasingly difficult until you're left with increasingly smaller niches from which to mine your ideas.
Personal experimentation is really fun and certainly can help one grow, but it may or may not break new ground for the body of work in your field.
Doesn't sound as fun anymore, does it? 8-) Really, most of these labels are just convenient ways to attract an audience.
