Bill, that's one great summation. I have it hanging on my bulletin board... 
I may make something of pieces of the text.

Thank you all for remarkable discussion this month and thanks to Marcus, for 
sure. I am usually more of a lurker than a participant on this board. The 
discourse was fascinating. You can  bet I shall be among those going back to 
the October threads. You have given me much to ponder. Cheers.

Christine

Subject: [-empyre-] sum up


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 processS

Best
Bill Seaman
