Thoughts on the reading...
"Newton's synchronized time ordered the industrial revolution and gave us a culture of production based on highly stratified temporal regulation" (80).
"A paradox in math and physics translates into the social realm of human relations"(80).
"Sometimes the best way to get an idea across is to simply tell it as a story"(80).
"For math to code to culture, contemporary art has shifted as well. It all seems more and more that the creative act itself is becoming a source-code like Linux where people create and add modules of thought-ware to the mix, making it all a little more interesting. Speaking in code, we live in a world so utterly infused with digitality that it makes even the slightest action ripple across the collection of data bases we call the web"(89).
"Strange, inferential portraits of a seamlessly complex system for routing people and products, a system as intricate as a global nervous system without all the baggage... It all depends on your perspective"(92).
"It's a milieu where each 'musical sculpture' is unique yet completely dependent on the system that created the context"(97).
"Context becomes metatext, and the enframing process, as folks as diverse as Iannis Xenakis, Kool Keith a.k.a. Dr Octagon or Eminem can tell you, like media philosopher Freidrich Kittle, 'Aesthetics begins as 'patterns recognition'. ' "(100).
"The prostitute scenario is about an end of definitions - breaking the loops, and watching the role collapse in on itself when it's no longer occupied"(109).
"My challenge to myself is to always try to create new worlds, new scenarios at almost every moment of thought"(109).
"You can never play a record the same way for the same crowd. That's why remixes happen. Memory demands newness"(113).

I always find your work interesting but on this one you missed a part of the assignment. I don't mean to put you on blast but I would of liked to know your interpretation of the quotes you chose.
ReplyDeleteI get the sense you took some notes, and were going to go back and flesh it out, but never quite got there. It's almost like a reading response remix ;) It's a good start, but your words needed to be in here a bit to tie it all together.
