This paragraph explaining my creative process was instructed by Peter Elsea as a course assignment for Thursday February 5th, 2009. My creative process takes the place of constant searching and appropriation. I want to keep what inspires me and expand on it since I want improve everything I digitally acquire. I deconstruct textual language, not code as much. I use this to explain why I am a poet from the electronic interface.
Digital media is a process of acquiring a lot of sources. Everything is a source of something else. Digital media is, in a way, a process of source. I deconstruct code with an intention for it to change something that will be seen by the larger mass. The source itself creates something that would show the poetry of which I wish to show.
I believe digital media is significant to process art because it is - the program and the way a computer runs them - constantly evolving. Digital art from the 1990s is absolutely archaic-looking in retrospect. I was told by a professor that what I consider on the cutting edge or avant-garde like new forms of hypertext will be more conventional in ten years.
Digital art is the element of surprise because it is in some ways not created from a strategic plan. I am certain that my processing final will progress into something I have not originally anticipated. I don't mind learning what I am learning. My next project will likely appropriate javascript and PHP - and using codes that are relevant and similar to processing. I believe that I am going to work more with text and tools that use an accessible and simple interface - because the technology should not be the focus - it should be the canvas.
