[-empyre-] sum up

[Bill Seaman <bseaman@risd.edu>]

It has been a pleasure being involved this month. 
It has been exciting to try to articulate my 
thought related to the fascinating broad set of 
topics we have covered.

To sum up (impossible)

Potentials:
To create new tools; to collaborate with others 
that have differing (and/or similar skill sets; 
to articulate bridging languages to manifest 
transdisciplinary potentials; to look carefully 
at the body and all aspects of its operation in 
terms of meaning production; to consider embodied 
understanding and to approach the construction of 
intelligent situated machinic systems; to 
re-understand old forms, to trace back ideas to 
their roots / to define an ongoing relation with 
history; to map out the potentials of new 
technologies as expressive tools; to understand 
the computer as being open in terms of what it 
might become as a tool for expression; to develop 
new kinds of interface; to apply new technologies 
in a resonant manner; to make works that have a 
depth and enable layers of meaning to arise on 
each return; to up-pack works from multiple 
conceptual perspectives and take a critical 
stance to meaning production; to remember 
nonsense and humor have place in serious work; to 
find a working process that is appropriate for 
ones own interests, proclivities and needs; to 
continue to learn and grow as an ongoing process?

Best
