Notes From Panel Disc. @ The Fish Tank Gallery
Question(s):
“progress” implies that there is a goal. What is
the goal, the ultimate or even penultimate goal?
Note/Thought
“progress”, “progression”, “the progressive”
is tied into the advancement of technology
how “new” technology is engaged by an artist
mechanic, engineer, etc. – (tinkered with)
technology has “progressed” (moved forward) but have
our uses for technology in art/life (artistic practice) as
a “translucent” activity progressed? Have we somehow
used this technology to say something new about the human
condition?
How does/do human evolution and technological advance
coincide? Thinking about what
Art should speak (say) to a position from a position of an artist.
The artist takes a position based on how s/he sees itself in
contextual dialogue (art historical?) with the human condition.
The artist interprets his/her world to create meaning, or/and,
comment on the way meaning may be transmitted.
