i dont see XYZ as a critical model, reductionist or otherwise. there's no methodology here. it's a pretty cut and dry analysis of what these types of pieces simply are. t.m. is not reducing anything, XYZ is a description of artworks already reduced by the artists who are making the stuff.
the question of art criticism about incomplete projects is irrelevant regarding lots of this proposal-based work but i think it's partly assumptions about shiftspaces eventual construction that informed the XYZ tag. for example if shiftspaces "Open Source platform" for a metalayer was implemented as a sheet of transparent plastic overlay taped in front of a computer's monitor and scribbled on with marker pens (by the public) i'm not sure if it would fit XYZ??
of all of them tho i think #1 - AddArt Member Selection - takes de cake. it's pretty much beyond prototype XYZ.
