			Clusterings
					Description Clusterings is a fictional product I have produced, the "latest in connectional technology", which allows people to cluster together in groups of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Absurd, utopian, somehow off - an invention that solves no immediate need. To some degree, the project is about communication, about negotiation, about relationships. I was inspired, to some extent, by the Japanese tradition of Chindogu, the art of the "un-useless object".
