Presence and Definition

I swiped this off the web. Hope it doesn't offend anyone.

Language is so subjective, and the art language even more so. Intuitive thinkers often have a difficult time interpreting messages and signals in contemporary works, leading to confusion and misinterpretation.

I believe there's a disconnect between those who make art and those who contextualize it, sometimes hinging around those who view--experience--it.

In positioning SIS for funding its completion and promoting its exhibition, I've come to carefully define what it is I'm doing in relation to what others are; this way I can say "My work is like..."

With truly experimental work--the likes of which involve various media--it's hard to qualify it if it hasn't been done--or at least, not often or by many.

True, almost everything has been done in one way or another. But multi-channel electronic media changes perception, as does the meaning of presence: time and space.

Is the artist present or is the audience?
