In exploring new ways of generating ideas I drew on a piece of work by Christopher Baker, famous from the Data Flow book. He made an average gun by taking a line drawing of every toy gun patent ever filed in the US and laying them over the top of each other to make an average. Its a very beautiful thing. My posters were made from a series of robots that I made using everyday technologies, like the wii remote, a laptop and an electric tooth brush. It was hoped that while I was building these robots, I would start to make connection between thing that I would otherwise not have considered. In other words I was distracting myself by making robots, whilst I was actually coming up with the seeds of an idea.
