\nAt some point in fall of 2016 I was looking at the then freshly pinxographed scans<\/a> in all their indecisiveness, heterogeneity, chaos and dubious charisma\u2122. And suddenly the thought occurred to me that this “indecisive” imaginery could not only be a pictoral representation of daily life but also for imagining the manifold currents, influences, task management strategies and processes in our.. working life. A life, that deals with frictional losses and requirements of the daily affordments in scope even more than private issues.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, with nearly 9 years gone by, I discovered different scientists, sociologists and psychologic masters being connected to this fascinating field of human life. And decided to now try an English version of this posting. Here<\/a>‘s the original German thing.<\/p>\n

To capture all these sources of influence and ingredients, it is crucial to keep the images in an area\/space that triggers discomfort when viewed. Fortunately, I somehow did this in a small time slot in the summer of 2016.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition the discovery that the emotional effects of planning errors, misjudgements and tone of voice in stressful phases backlash to work itself and so grow to be doomed to create an unlucky escalating loop. Not to mention the grueling effects of missing expectation management<\/a>, seemingly still widely unknown in Germany.
\nThan came the notion that these PinXoGraphics could also be used to indirectly depict technical and even structural challenges in the company by making them “visually localizable”. Plus the idea that internal (not only) logistics nodes could be seen more clearly by looking at these images.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

This may sound very far-fetched, I know, but I’m quite excited by the idea that this simple recipe might well work: using these strange images to imagine seemingly thematically unrelated things in psycho-physical proximity to each other, to get an idea of how these disparate individual elements somehow influence each other.<\/p>\n

And what is that good for?<\/h3>\n

Well: to suddenly see hidden inhibitions, unrecognized and unspoken problems in seemingly completely separate areas as “abstract neighbors” and to seek to recognize their interdependence in all its many shades in precisely this image. Or more generally put: to remember the often routinely disturbed vigilance that helps us time and again not to see our lives sinking into an eternal daily uniformity. Shoshin<\/a> with a pictoral nudge!<\/p>\n

The idea, simply put, is to imagine that these pictures show the all parts of your working life.
\nAnd then see what ideas come up based on the detailed knowledge of the real situation.<\/h3>\n

\nAbove I selected still unreleased pictorial material from that summer, but now I see that these examples are way too weak, too decorating in scope & therefore do not meet the requirements. I therefore strongly recommend these “original images” from 2016:<\/p>\n
