[-empyre-] failure or mishap

[Ashley Ferro-Murray]

Brad et al,

Thank you for your point. I absolutely agree. I think that the kind of
failure that I was considering was not an institutional or theory
based failure. Rather, a purely technical one. Still, though, your
point is well taken. The technical occurrence is not necessarily
separate or different from the parameters of the institution or
theoretical inquiry. It seems that we should still address this
circumstance with the same "viable art praxis" since technological
parameters too are prescribed maybe not by the art world, but by the
technical world, which is often coming even more directly from a place
of institutionalization. For example, so much of our technology is
created from research conducted with military funding. Another
institutional relationship that I would be interested in exploring.
