Meanings
-How we create order and disorder
-Taxonomies

Order out of nothing

500 gnomes- abnormal- catches the eye
1 gnome - normal not interesting

A new species- where to categorize them

Order things in kinds- haircuts

Look into- types, kinds, categories.

The way in which we perform ordering on the world.

Disorder- when we can't see a link.

Bottom drawer is in order as it belongs to someone?

How does design come out of it?

I like design for items that catch attention and seem clever.

Putting disorder within order.

E.g. Every garden gnome is the same colour except one, which catches your attention.

Create a pattern, have it observed with disorder.
E.g a chair with a plastic leg is unusual.
-How little elements of disorder on an item grabs attention.
-the unexpected
-not point of order that makes it interesting
Create orderly things and implement disorder on it.
Fooled by order?

Sameness of look

Put images together order and disorder. Throw a spanner in the works.

Look at images repeated in google.
