Discordia Concors: Harmonious
Discord
This chapter’s
theory states that by way of chaos and the messiness of unlike objects being
placed together, a new form of creativity and invention can be born. The main premise of this study was to find an
environment in which one can be the most innovative or in which situation the most
creativity can be provoked; their conclusion was that viewing and meditating on
certain images or words that aren’t necessarily connected to one another allows
the mind space to create associations between them and, in turn, evokes a level
of innovation. I think that this theory is best displayed through the very well
known social media website, Pinterest. Pinterest is a social media platform in
which someone can log on and view a variety of images that aren’t necessarily
related to each other, but are all generally linked to the users interests. Pinterest
allows the user to collect the images, or “Pins”, that inspire, intrigue, or interest the user for later viewing. Often
when I use Pinterest, I will see one pin that peaks my interest about cooking,
and directly after it I will see a pin that sparks my interest in books or
gardening. This type of varied experience creates an urge for creativity in
many areas and usually leads to innovative thoughts of combining my interests.
