Practice question · Multiple choice
Poetics answers to internal logic, whilst social implication answers to external consequence. Why must an artist working with living communities account for both simultaneously?
Hints
- Does a formally rigorous project inherently safeguard the people involved in making it?
- What remains unresolved if we evaluate a social practice purely through its internal rules?
Show the answer
D. Formal coherence cannot ensure ethical relations with participants
Why
Confusing the internal consistency of an artwork with its ethical validity overlooks how human subjects are affected. Resolving formal problems does not protect a practitioner from exploiting collaborators.
