How do designers arrive at a different view of things so as to be able to come up with a creative/innovative design?
This view on cooperation in design opens up another relevant connection with actor-network theory (ANT), with its focus on the object-in-design and the multiplicity of actors contributing to its emergence, but also with its interest in the semiotics of materiality (Law 1999, 4–14). ANT draws attention to the relational and nonsingular 14 Chapter 2 aspects of objects. Properties and forms of entities (things, objects) are acquired in relation to other entities, human as well as nonhuman. If objects are seen as an effect of an array of relations, it follows that they do not exist in and of themselves; rather, they are performed and emerging.

Many researchers have addressed the crucial role of inscription and material artifacts in cooperative work.
