Extended Context/Extended Media - Class 02
This document discusses different types of artistic mediums and notations, including analog vs digital, autographic vs allographic art, visual art, musical art, performing art, and instruction art. It provides examples of artistic works that use notation as a key component, such as musical scores, theater scripts, Yoko Ono's instruction paintings, Sol LeWitt's conceptual diagrams, and software code. It explores whether notation can be considered a form of art and discusses how new digital and computational tools have expanded creative possibilities for drawing and generative art.

- 42. Sol Lewitt No matterwhat form it may finally have it must begin with an idea and when an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.
