KNOWLEDGE RESTS NOT UPON TRUTH ALONE, BUT UPON ERROR ALSO

HYPOTHESISerror & potential

This thesis presents the hypothesis that the search for knowledge lies not in perfection, but in error and experimentation. Error can lead to new discoveries, highlight process, give truth to form, and give a voice to tools often considered lifeless devices.

From paint spills and smears to misprints and glitches, interventions lead towards unintended ends that should be explored and embraced. Errors give machines a voice, reject established and accepted methods, and provide great sources of inspiration outside the limits of rationale and reason.

Such a hypothesis could lead towards a new method of design education that encourages failure and deviation.
