database aesthetics and operatives

The Seaman reading was extremely hard to understand…. nevertheless I still took away some points from it which may or may not have been central to the piece.

– human processes of memory, thought, categorising, contextualising…etc are ‘potential variables for employmment in the creation of interactive works of art’, ‘databases derive from human activity’

– ‘every reception of a work of art is an interpretation and performance of it…the work takes on a fresh perspective for itself’

– configurations are formed when items are distributed within confines

– the combination/recombination of visual and sonic fields is not work of narrative, but a poetic approach -> arranged and group, but not consequential?

– recombinant poetics: characterised by interaction with a computer which allows the participant to engage with a combination and recombination of media texts

– set: separate, defined elements that still function as whole
