![Query
[a] query language is a well-defined linguistic tool, the expressions of which
correspond to requests one might want to make a data base. With each request,
or query, there is associated a response, or answer.

Web 2.0 “platform”
In order to become a platform, a software program needs to provide an interface
that allows for its (re)programming…[The web API] makes a website
programmable by offering structured access to its data and functionality and
turns it into a platform that others can build on.

Executing Queries as a form of artistic practice
The document discusses the intersection of query languages and artistic practices, specifically how web APIs transform websites into programmable platforms. It also references various artistic projects that explore postdigital aesthetics and reflect on our computational everyday lives. The author, Winnie Soon, presents these ideas in the context of critical perspectives on a post-Internet world.
