The evolutionary algorithm–of variation and selection,

repeated–searches for solutions in a world where the problems keep changing, trying all sorts

of variants and doing more of what works.

This thesis presents the hypothesis that randomness as employed as part of a creative methodology leads to outcomes which are both provoking and utilitarian.

In contrast to established practices, which are rightly concerned with system stability, randomness leads to

innovation through diversity.

Such a hypothesis, through its public celebration of oddness, could lead to services for neglected fringe

communities, highly nuanced services, and aesthetics that cause reconsideration and reflection.
