Style is a byproduct of following one’s ideals, not an ingredient, it’s something which comes out of a project, not goes into it. Style is often misinterpreted as a way to create an identity by superficially changing the look of one’s work. The aesthetic choices in these works have little or nothing to do with content and everything to do with looking different or current.

Thus, the object, the real thing, the thing that acts, exists only provided that it holds humans and nonhumans together, continuously. Slightly out of phase, it resides neither in the social element (it is made up of chips and hinges, shock absorbers and pairs of subway cars) nor in technologies (it is made up of passions, transported people, money, Communist ministers, and software). On the one hand, it can be said to hold people together, but on the other hand it is people who hold it together.
— Bruno Latour, Aramis, or, The love of technology
