Thought.

Linked terminals displaying part of the whole. Each contains some, but not all of it. Simple example. 2 terminals. One odds, one evens.

Thought. 100 people. 100 dictaphones. Have them in a caterpillar. Walk them through a town centre for 10 minutes and have them speak as they walk. What they think, see, feel, whatever comes into their heads. Then give them 10 minutes of random dispersion.

Collect recordings and see a city through the words of 100 different strangers.
