Abstract:
In the world of digital and electronic art the concept of deliverability is generally of little concern: file-sharing is the name of the game. However, technological obsolescence can easily wreak havoc on one’s work and it may be prescient to fix one’s work in a particular form. This can demean the conceptual basis of some works that may be generative or interactive in nature. In the field of Animated Notation, in which motion is a necessary element, some works rely on generative qualities to produce novel notational and compositional approaches. A relatively recent development in this field is browser-based notational systems that circumvent the potential need to fix the work in some immutable form, as described above. This paper will explore a new work, The Animated Notation Workshop, as a method for composition, performance and pedagogy in a form designed with inclusivity, accessibility and longevity in mind.
