by Joseph Nechvatal. In current art, chance of failure is assimilated into the very definition of what art does best. What is valuable in art is its indeterminate identity and function - its realm of freedom and non-systematic messiness.1 Failure in one moment (as defined by that moment) can shift quickly to the position of utmost value in the next. Often, failure is re-evaluated in art - and this re- evaluation helps art to expand. http://www.academia.edu/3060414/Failure_and_Error_and_Chance_in_Art_ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
