First mentor session

Group discussion

I am in a group of four students with my mentor Alex.  I explained the point my project was at. Ordering randomness. 

Alex suggested the book "sorting things out" Order classification systems.

Come away from randomness

Therapy OCD - traits
Look further into OCD

Things being regularly ordered.
Peoples perception of random.
Peoples ordering practice- screwing up paper.
Perceptions of random.
Perfection.
Organise a research process for self- pulling out observations and insights.
Find an area; utopian idea of perfection.

Expanding more.

The Bodlien Library needs expanding, there is an obvious ordering problem.

Archiving; 
Institutional forms of ordering.
Personal ordering- hoarding

How different things are ordered.
Into order and out of order.
Implementing a system within order.

Books are an obvious thing to order. What else can be ordered?

Measuring, to what extent is it beneficial?

Alex's advice

Sharpen up analytical skills. Be critical of area. Be inquisitive. What else could it be. Think about what something is. Make an analytical move so it changes. Go out and find more information. Get involved.

Peoples ordering practices
-what kind of conditions related to OCD.

Disorder is more interesting than random.

Institutional practices.
Take in different types of ordering.
-what could I order?
(myself could be uninteresting)

A disorderly process of things becoming disorderly.

Bernd and Hilla Becher two German photographers, implemented photographic ordering systems on buildings.

Technologies of orderings
classification systems
Gene material

Objective; Much firmer idea of what I'm interested in. Say exactly what the project is about, it will be grounded.
