So, my first question is going to be...about the line and circle generation section of Sketchpad. I didn't understand the section at all, and to be perfectly honest with you, I didn't try very hard cause Math equasions give me migranes. I mean I get that Sketchpad could be seen as pre-Photoshop...
Also, Burroughs peice discusses the cut up method and how poetry is for everyone...(sort of like the web is for everyone) and can be melded into different site and pages (much like public service offices are constantly growing and changing and disappearing, etc. to meet the needs of the public).
I'm not really sure how Kaprow's peice would fit thematically in with this week's topics. So far I'm seeing things about media and computers and the like being fluid (which he is talking about art being fluid and impermanent like the internet) but he talks a lot about the artist and their impermanence cause once they are noticed and gain popularity they "sell out"...
Anyway, those are the thoughts that I came up with so far for this week.
