“To produce this smooth space between disciplines, Eames felt “vision” was the best tool. To teach students to see, however, must come through exposure to an excess of data.

He was very specific on this point; the purpose of the class was to experiment with “how much information could be given to a class.” Data overload as a pedagogical principle.”
