# disorient anything activity


**objective:** adapt and expand the idea of 'disorientation' by drafting a disorientation of any thing, on any scale. these are a bunch of detailed questions which may help you notice some of the elements of orientation and disorientation. you can use them step-by-step, use them as a starting point, or not use them at all in your disorientation.

```

```
*you can use your thing from the first activity, or pick a new one*
#### 2. how did you become oriented to the _thing_?  

* how did you learn to interact with it? how did it teach you to interact with other things? 
* what was the process of orientation like? was it fast or slow?

```

```

* did you notice being oriented?
* did you want to be oriented? did it feel good or bad?

```

```


```

#### 3. what keeps you oriented?

#### 4. how can you disorient?

* what elements of your orientation are unacceptable? what elements of the _thing_ are unacceptable, and maintained by your orientation?

```

```
