What is radicant aesthetics? (an outline)

What is radicant aesthetics?

1. movement, dynamism of forms

2. precariousness, volatility, lifespan of the object is becoming shorter

3. All trends coexisting. . . in the past (until the 1980s) fashion in clothing and music had time to develop before giving way to another that was equally distinct

4.“the precarious against the solid, the flea market against the shopping mall, ephemeral performance and fragile materials against stainless steel and resin” (Bourriard, 82)

5. the era of commitment is past

6. space and time specific. . . thinking about space in terms of time. . . using time as a phenomena and a place for us to travel in we can shift back and forth in . . . not as linear

7. potentially moveable

8. not a terminal object but merely a moment in a chain

9. the journey has become an art form in itself

10. the collection of samples and information along a path

11. the experience of exploration, rather than the image of exploration

12. post-medium, not based on any specific disciplinary practice

13. the indeterminacy of art’s source code, resisting hyper-formating.
