Clutterfication? :-) I remember seeing something (years ago) on TV that talked
about ILM: a model-maker was being interviewed, and demonstrated how they had
attached bits from battleships and such to the outside of the models. Up close,
you could see what he was talking about -- you could see the parts distinctly,
but from even a slight distance, they all sort of blended together into a
technical-looking mismash.
This reminds me of the sculptures of Louise Nevelson:

She took ordinary objects, painted them, and arranged them into works that (by
nature of their arrangement) changed how you saw those objects.
