There are far to many variables. the computer simplifies it to a degree. perceptions of variables. the infinite datascape. We are seduced by this scientific fact. It exists in the fabric of the worlds. being able to see non linearity. there is a seduction in the manageability of the chaos theory. Post modernism reformulates subjectivity as what Bukatman calls "terminal identity": " a new subjectivity constituted at the computer station or television screen". Dynamic, but no longer anchored in a space that admits the human body or living in a time that yields critical values from action, this news subjectivity seems part cyborg, part artificial intelligence, disembodied at the same time that it is prosthetically enhanced by electronic technology. 1 where the screen and the subject are placed close together to become one. signifier in isolation is not possible. the article is cluttered. we can live now in a formalist world without any problems. religion was made to control the people who cant control themselves. there is more time to develop there actions. pockets of people showing shit. ordered disorder. we deliberately set out to create disorder. Now what of the relevance of these mathematical motifs and computer generated models of chaos to the "cultural logic" of postmodernism? Post-Modern culture is electronic culture, and the dependence of chaos theory upon electronic mediation is obvious. Slightly less so is its literally micro electronic "design for living", which, as Nichols argues, promotes a fetishised relationship with simulation as constituting a virtual or parallel world capable of being controlled in way impossible outside "the domain of simulation". The world modelled by chaos theory is constructed through computer graphics and electronic calculations, and is constituted as a total, contained, flattened, uninhabitable, absolute space- a hyper space that Heidegger might have envisioned as a space of absolution, " a space in which the peculiar mystery will be revealed by which technology brings about the deprivation of meaning". 2 critical awareness. art is not just about sensationalism. art was communication with the soul. connection with the soul. the primitive. you want to identify your existence. the role of art has shot itself in the foot continually. emotional swelling. a resonance. art has many different functions not only shocking. it is opening up an opportunity or a space for new art to be made. like the call sign form earth. something went beyond that narrative. And finally , as Jamieson points out, hyperspace is "radically anti-anthropomorphic" and "incompatible with the representation of the human body". 3 it is saying something that contemporary western art is not. using the example of film making it might take many hours for access through technology. total sensory deprivation. infinite regression tell you disappear. the guy wanted something controversial. What was so admirable about Nietzsche is that he saw clearly what was at stake, and refused to give up the hopeless struggle. Man had to be able to move the earth , by his own will, or he mould be paralysed. The philosopher's job was to remove all mental impediments to the will, especially moral ones. 4 chaos is a system that explains order. I am not going to influence by international art. there has to be a compromise between outside and inside. negotiation on a localised level. basquiat. you don't have to make the stuff. they were looking at an examination of the meaning of art. artist placement group. not creating art objects but entering into an international debate about art. we are programmed to create. if you are talking about traditional art practice a reductive thing was taking place. confronting the audience as apart of the piece. a purification period in the 60s and 70s. neutralising the fear of death. death at two ends of the spectrums. evidence of existence. one of the best monuments is the head stone. bottles left on the table. what is discussed and past on is all that is art. documenting everything his whole life was documented. documentation becomes a way of life. we just have to get it out to the public. everyone has a different concept of art around this table. the ideas his the table. things break in to different areas of discussion. in terms of production. what role is there any more. craft and skill. art is philosophy art is science. beauty and intellect. just calling it experience does not give it room to move. the eneffable. creates an experience for the public. prescribed art. imaged in some way and evaluated is some way. seven men and one woman . if work comes it will come. bogus article put it into an artist review. some thing more interactive would work from. in three months it could go public. agreed focus. whether something would recreate itself into an order again. this becomes a permanent record raw. why alter what is pure. don't let the minimalist last. kant was so sure of his place in the world. chaos is another fiction. framework for thinking in. something has evolved. we are all talking from our own artistic . truth to materials. words ideas and debate seem to be the work . the fact that you are not creating something is a plus. we started last week dealing with the Durack issue. take skills away and everything falters. learn about the body . the map has taken prescient in Australia not perspective. perspective is a minor role in image manipulation. everything is in perspective. position of the viewer. we need to have another modernist enlightenment period. we need to have some kind of rationale. feedback situation. it is continual negation. its the relevance of activities at any point in time. what the work is itself. devalue of art practice who cant define there position. well rounded education what is that. Keep in mind that they were in the final year of a practical arts degree at university, and had studied in secondary school art classes all across NSW. Only two of the thirty students could solve this most elementary problem of perspective drawing. The others were so completely stumped by the problem... At first the students were inclined to justify their ignorance, saying it was irrelevant to know such things, or that it would block creative expression. When they saw the solution, however, they began to reflect critically upon the hundreds of secondary and tertiary level art classes they had attended in which such useful knowledge was never taught to them.5 the concept of perception. perception is out there. but now it is a construction. you touch the edge of them because they give of an aura . emotional. sensitivity. skills based learning as a weapon. split. between these things. people can sit around doing nothing. variations of definitions of an artist. a lot of people don't have the confidence. demonstrator . facilitator. resource. owe them guidelines. provider. effective domain. transcend the situation that you are in. real thing is a personal one to one. passion for the subject. political nature is liberal. art education is not solely job orientated. 1.Vivian Sobchach A theory of Everything: Mediations on total chaos, Artforum october 1990. 2.Vivian Sobchach A theory of Everything: Mediations on total chaos, Artforum october 1990. 3.Vivian Sobchach A theory of Everything: Mediations on total chaos, Artforum october 1990 . 4.John Carroll The wreck of western culture Fontan 1993. 5.Alan Lee The Art Education Mess.
