Recombinants poetics related database aesthetics

Bill Seaman

A database is derived through human activity leading to residues and inscriptions of experience.
The database is used to navigate the open potentials of poetic expression, dynamic association through human process, and emergent meaning arising out of these processes.

Central to database aesthetics is the notion of the arithmetic set, the concept of the set enables different kinds of groupings to be defined and still function as a unity.

The computer can facilitate a linkage that is either entirely digital in nature or it can define a linkage of the digital and the analogue through authored associated mappings across domains.

An important characteristic of the database aesthetic is the potential of bringing different fields of meaning to play in the service of meaning production.
