Actual discussion of an example from the Rhizome list is going on here.
as for the issue drx and p.d. are discussing, one small point:
A possible open source morality example for artists who aren't involved in coding or recoding programs is to use several different programs (Ys) in addition to a multitude of possible source material (Xs) to get an underdetermined result (Z). Then no one software designer's stamp dominates the final product (ideally--not so easy to achieve).
But how do you give a grant for that?
"I plan to use about 4 programs and pass content back and forth among them, creating something I couldn't reconstruct myself because I don't remember the exact sequence. Oh, and I can't promise it will be of any benefit to anyone."
