Inventio Activity
- — brief notes (1 sentence/fragment) posted to your blog or in comments below
1. Key term/concept from reading(s) in class (or otherwise) — most generative for update/innovate ideas
2. Example of contemporary art in network-digital media ecology — from your observation, research/classes, curation site
3. Fundamental category of your art field/praxis most interested to update (promising, generative, etc. for innovation?)
- e.g. author/creator, medium, process, audience, delivery/display, material, genre/form, reception/critique (others?)
4. Title of (or term from) recent publication (“book”) “about” art in new media ecology
- → protip: browse titles online, like MIT Press / Leonardo or Amazon “similar/related items”… Post just the title (or a term) that interests you!
Example: Database Aesthetics: Art in the Age of Information Overflow
optional (at least 1 recommended):
→ bonus optional lightning round: how might this look in your major/field/medium in 2015? 2025? (e.g. appearing in a textbook, on a Tumblr, as a class project, a Post-Internet exhibit, a Post-Literacy aka “Electracy” activity? extrapolate)
