yeah, the question of nature does loom large in these
things--however, must say i do share your view there,
jeremy---as logic it goes something like: man is a
product of nature; man makes these; these things are
products of nature....not as tight perhaps as the
"socrates is a man" routine, but it'll do for the
moment---
i only make a distinction between the two because it's
part of the language i've inherited after centuries of
western thought...and it's easier to get people to see
what i mean---honestly, i see no difference between a
rock outcropping and beethoven: both are as dear to
me...

Re:randomness
mez breeze ecrit:
..how r u d.fining a non_random l.ement?
EXACTLY, mez!!! one could simply say, oh, it's
INTENTION, a non-random element is an INTENTIONAL
element, but, given all the potential for noise in the
channel, how can we say intention isn't itself "dirty"
with randomness? and would the artwork exist at all if
there were no intention whatsoever?
these are the questions that keep me up nights...

randomness
--does the inclusion of random elements in an artwork
indicate a certain ontology of the art experience?
--why introduce random elements into art?
--are we, when creating art, STILL simply mimicing
non-man-made pneomena?
--are these even the right questions?
discuss. please.
