Parasitic relations: thinking beyond interactivity
thesis
posted on 2019-02-22, 03:40 authored by Goodman, Andrew BruceThis practice-led research questions what more a participatory work might be able to
do beyond prescriptive and linear forms of interactivity in art events. The research
develops practical applications of Michel Serres’ concept of the ‘parasite’, the
inherent noise that disrupts and multiplies within relation. The possibility of self production and modulation in a participatory event and the potential of intensive
disruption as a driver of creativity within the events are the basis for this investigation
of models of art that can incorporate a range of environmental forces to generate an
ecological set of relations where viewers, art objects and surroundings generate new
and shared potentials.
