“ ‘Lunatick’ consists of 112 clocks and batteries that are making all those lovely ticking sounds. Youwant to know who comes up with the titles? It’s George Rhoads himself. Luna, for the moon that each one of these circles represent, and the tick, the ticking of the clocks.”23George Rhoads in studioOrganizatiOn Chart COunty Of Santa BarBaraThe purpose of this display is to depict the organizational structure of Santa Barbara County. It differs from all other charts of its type in that it reflects reality, rather than theory.In order to determine the working relationship between any two persons in the County organization, simply pick a dot (any one will do, they are faceless bureaucrats anyway). Then pick a second dot, representing the second person. Observe. You will notice that each bureaucrat runs around in its own little circle, with only incidental and accidental contact with any other. Congratulations! You now understand how things work around here.A similar chart has been prepared for the Federal Government. It is the same in all respects except for its enormous size and the fact that the dots move at a pace undetectable to the human eye.
