AT THE ART OF THE MATTER

The ART of a digital media work lies in the ‘event’ that it is at base the common-place set to order : manipulation of the least controlling the most : and if IDEAS are no more than ‘a set of operations’ then the first value of the work lies in being made then unmade in sight in ‘real time’ on a screen or a number of screens…

…the MACHINE represented as a succession of tasks and the STORY as a serial of unfolding occasionally unrelated events

1 . Project ‘X’
building management system(s) and ‘sensors’ : working title
‘By-m-by haus bilong yu bilong mi’

panel 1 text field two

Research :
core ‘aims and objectives’ of the ‘intelligent building’ : ‘mission statements’ and so on
component ‘X’ AS : shaping structure / umbrella / ignition and running procedures
component ‘X’ NOT AS : not known at time of writing

Q 1

panel 2 text field four

Should the ‘database’ of the intelligent building be read as or seen to be in addition to its functionality as possessing ‘content’ which may or may not be ‘meaningful’?

window 3 text field five

CONCLUDE

panel 3 text field six

the ‘intelligent building’ supplies a [conceptual] structure and ‘meaningful content’ is in the ‘mind’s eye’ of the user : unless a basic or simplified or ‘pidgin’ language is inserted to come between X and Y


window 4 text field seven

Q 1a

panel 4 text field eight

What purpose would the insertion of a natural language serve at this ‘point’?

window 5 text field nine

panel 5 text field nine

None at the time of writing .

window 6 text field ten

2 . Project ‘Y’
multi-screen installation : working title
‘We’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here’

panel 6 text field ten

Research :
‘conceptual structures’ / J F Sowa / AI mental modelling
component ‘Y’ AS : ignition & running in response to [aspects of] X
component ‘Y’ NOT AS : standalone available for direct user response

window 7 text field eleven

Q 2

panel 7 text field eleven

Should installation run independently?

window 8 text field twelve

A 2

panel 8 text field twelve

None .
CONCLUDE : PLAY independent of X and Z demotes the notion of COMMUNALITY but promotes the idea of INDIVIDUATION

window 9 text field twelve

3 . Project ‘Z’
guardian / tracing agent / assassin : working title
« Quoi de neuf, pussycat? » La femme Nikita
part SEARCH (‘Quoi…’) part ‘CLEAN’ (‘Nikita’) cleaning agent

Research :
component ‘Z’ AS :
either TXT ENT
or KYBD CMDS
or MS ACTS
(onMouseOver onMouseOut onMouseEnter onMouseWithin onMouseLeave)
or ALL
component ‘Z’ NOT AS : to be determined .

window 10 text field thirteen

Q 3

panel 10 text field fourteen

Should ‘enquiry’ be only REMOTELY or TANGENTIALLY related to other [2] components?
As it is : it is more ‘routemaster’ than searching enquirer .

window 11 text field fifteen

A 3

panel 11 text field sixteen

None at time of writing .
CONCLUDE : Z should be [re]assigned to the status of SWITCHing device or ALTernatively Z should provide ENTRY to :
(a) a discourse on X and Y
(b) a parallel text contextual to X or Y or X+Y
(c) a tracing agency
(d) an ‘interrupt’ (or an ‘assassin’)
