I just read something that made me think of our group in a book by Susan Kozel called Closer: Performance, Technologies, Phenomenology)
On Limitations:
“One way of doing this is to use limitations (such as the lack of space or equipment) as ways of rescaling our aims and reshaping our process, not as reasons for abandoning a project. This approach can be painful, but fosters a critical perspective of an artistic area that is rapidly transforming, It also can address the thorny issue of content, now such a cause for concern in the world of electronic and digital art. The creative content of a work is not suspended until the technological glitches are overcome. It can arise through turning our gaze toward how we work with our materials, by being critically aware of our assumptions, and of the aesthetic and gender stereotypes may be reproducing.” (119)
