More questions on Multidisciplinary Processes
- Why is sound a curatorial problem before it is an aesthetic one in a group exhibition?
- Conservation of a code-based work is closer to emulation and migration than to cleaning and repair.
- Sort each cost by the medium that brings it.
- Which does digital fabrication actually change about sculptural practice?
- Complete the account of multidisciplinary work.
- Match each medium to what it adds to a sculptural work.
- Arrange these stages of caring for a code-based work in order.
- Adding a medium such as light or movement brings a one-off installation cost but no ongoing obligation.
- Digital fabrication alters the iteration and scaling of three-dimensional form, but leaves material behaviour…
