Studio as System
By Randall Packer “I am the Movie, Open Source Studio, Performance is
Reality”
Think of the studio as a system: plugged into the network. The studio is
no longer an insular space and the process is no longer a proprietary
activity. The studio is now open source: meaning, the daily ritual of
making art is a distributed activity, just as the everyday life is now a
shared reality. We are connected and there is no sense in breaking the
cord, especially as an artist, in order to protect some anachronistic
idea of an original. The original is an antiquated notion that expired
years ago, though this ancient practice is still entertained in certain
circles. Nonetheless, in our 21st century
ever-present-present-connectedness, it no longer makes sense for the
artistic act to be an insular activity. Today, the artist (like everyone
else) is as much a part of the networked relations as anyone, and must
engage, for it is ultimately the responsibility of the artist to test
and gauge the rapidly changing reality.
