JUXTAPOSITION !!

this is a very intresting subject to talk about and to me i think its one of the most important subject..

so the first question will be what is JUXTAPOSITION ??
well ... "Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variables, side by side and their contrast or similarities are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually 'turning' something familiar to something less familar or vice-versa."

from: lecturer notes

when we mention JUXTAPOSITION that means we are refering to:
Juxtaposition (literary), synonymous with contrast, two objects or texts that oppose one another.
Random juxtaposition, two random objects moving in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity.

from: lecturer notes

but then ..what is random juxtapostion??
Random Juxtaposition refers to the stimulation of creativity in problem solving, design or other creative pursuit by confronting two unrelated concepts or objects, usually the goal or problem to be solved on the one hand and a randomly selected object or concept on the other. Similar to an oxymoron.
