Kaprow and CAE readings

The one thing that struck me from the CAE reading is that the idea of how our identity can be deleted in the physical world and erase our presence in the physical world with deleting our data information. It ties in with Kaprow reading because the art is becoming obselete and the artist is trying to come up with new ways of inventing art but yet it seems it is only making a copy or imitation of something else, it is not unique.
The other relation is that the art is becoming something else and that it combines more than one media or mediums such as in the Fluxus works and focus more on the aspect of the everyday life and the changes we experience. This made me think of how the CAE emphasized that we need a space to critique and protest in the cyberworld to exercise our free will but to not let it be mistaken for terrorism.
I think that the idea of art and the artist is more about collaboration to fit and work with more mediums to have an interdisciplinary work that engages us or to comment on the everyday experience such as the work called Body Worlds. The body being explored from teh inside out and also showing how our body looks and positioned in things we do everyday such as skateboarding. Again the body is being shown in a different way than from the past such as the nude body. I think that art is to be more of a critique and talking about a message to the viewer than being an aesthestic value and trying to explore how our world works and in this engages the viewer more as they can relate to the everyday. But again making art work for the institutions such as an art gallery, it depends really on what and how they define art and what is considered art. So I feel that in some ways, the artist will always have to deal with that context of the value and definition of art when they are making art work.
