Wikipedia notability determines whether a topic merits its own article. Like everyone else, I am trying to piece together a wholly subjective model of notability amongst the world as encountered. I think of my work, including Honeywell Thermostat, as the production of images that constitute a ‘product tour’ of such a model, which currently includes the aesthetics of travel videos, defunct corporate attitudes, the engineering of Concorde, and the histories of specific heat devices. Naturally, it’s ever-changing.
